A.C arguing against destroying the device: that dice-only seed generation takes user-supplied entropy in a verifiable, trust-minimised way with no firmware update needed, and that the device remains a functional stateless airgapped signer when used with a temporary seed. Held as a dated, explicitly labelled unpopular position on continued use. The safety of the dice path under the affected firmware is contested across the record and is not verified here; the archive does not recommend a course of action.

This post is registered as evidence and has a locally held capture. The original remains the canonical publication.
