Live experiment funding deliberately vulnerable Mk3-v4 honeypots with different added dice-roll or passphrase entropy, then recording whether and how quickly they are swept. It exposes anonymised handles, coarse value bands and transaction links while withholding addresses for live honeypots. This is primary experimental reporting by the operator; the setup, entropy estimates and attacker attribution have not been independently reproduced by this archive.

Every check is recorded, including checks that found no text change. A detected edit is therefore bounded between two checks. The publisher's exact save time is not observable from this record. Last checked .

    Own a Coldcard? Treat any wallet created without additional entropy as compromised and move
    your funds to a safe place now.
    What is this?
    Coldcard hardware wallets generated wallet seeds with a
    broken random-number generator: a predictable software pseudo-RNG instead of true
    hardware entropy. The private keys can be brute-forced and the coins swept. If
    affected, migrate your funds now.
    We fund decoy “honeypot” wallets carrying that
    exact flaw on mainnet, some hardened with extra dice rolls or a passphrase, and
    track which ones an attacker sweeps and how fast. This maps the frontier of what
    coins are being confiscated. Read the methodology →

  2. source content difference between and source content +13 -13

    A new sweep was recorded: HP-9C4F with low (pass) entropy was swept on 2026-08-12, raising swept to 9, lowering live to 10, and pushing the estimated frontier from about 5 bits to about 11 bits. An older HP-10ED sweep row was removed, one active honeypot changed from LIVE to SWEPT, and the displayed row order shifted.

    The scoreboard added two newly funded honeypots, HP-E736 and HP-696E, raised the live count from 14 to 16 and the total from 17 to 19, and removed older funding and sweep rows; it also added a pending low-dice entry and a live 2-of-4 Mk4 entry on zombo.com.

    Own a Coldcard? Treat any wallet created without additional entropy as compromised and move
    your funds to a safe place now.
    What is this?
    Coldcard hardware wallets generated wallet seeds with a
    broken random-number generator: a predictable software pseudo-RNG instead of true
    hardware entropy. The private keys can be brute-forced and the coins swept. If
    affected, migrate your funds now.
    We fund decoy “honeypot” wallets carrying that
    exact flaw on mainnet, some hardened with extra dice rolls or a passphrase, and
    track which ones an attacker sweeps and how fast. This maps the frontier of what
    coins are being confiscated. Read the methodology →

    The operator revised the estimated GPU crack times sharply downward across every difficulty band (5 added bits from ~2 days to ~66 min, 13 bits from ~476 days to ~10 days) and dropped the tx column from recent activity. The anonymised honeypot handles were also re-randomised, so individual rows cannot be followed across captures; honeypot states (LIVE/SWEPT) are unchanged.

    Own a Coldcard? Treat any wallet created without additional entropy as compromised and move
    your funds to a safe place now.
    What is this?
    Coldcard hardware wallets generated wallet seeds with a
    broken random-number generator: a predictable software pseudo-RNG instead of true
    hardware entropy. The private keys can be brute-forced and the coins swept. If
    affected, migrate your funds now.
    We fund decoy “honeypot” wallets carrying that
    exact flaw on mainnet, some hardened with extra dice rolls or a passphrase, and
    track which ones an attacker sweeps and how fast. This maps the frontier of what
    coins are being confiscated. Read the methodology →

    The scoreboard added two live Mk3 v4 honeypots, HP-C6F6 (2-of-3 multisig) and HP-F755 (extreme dice), raising its totals from eight to ten honeypots and from seven to nine live ones. Its stated exposed value rose from about 0.003 BTC to about 0.006 BTC.

    Own a Coldcard? Treat any wallet created without additional entropy as compromised and move

    Coldcard hardware wallets generated wallet seeds with a
    broken random-number generator: a predictable software pseudo-RNG instead of true
    hardware entropy. The private keys can be brute-forced and the coins swept. If
    affected, migrate your funds now.

    The operator rewrote the warning to cover wallets created without additional entropy, replaced the immediate-move wording with 'move your funds to a safe place', and expanded the timing caveat about still-live honeypots. The page also added an attribution to @jamesob.

    +Own a Coldcard? Treat any wallet created without additional entropy as compromised and move

     What is this?
     Coldcard hardware wallets generated wallet seeds with a
     broken random-number generator: a predictable software pseudo-RNG instead of true
     mid16–30 bits6–11 dice rolls, or a 2-word passphrase
     high31–45 bits12–17 dice rolls, or a 3–4 word passphrase
     extreme>45 bits18+ dice rolls, or a 5+ word passphrase
    -A note on timing. This RNG flaw was almost certainly known to attackers well
    -before these honeypots went live, so the sweep times shown here reflect our own
    -observation window — not how quickly the first affected coins were taken. The
    -earliest real batches may have been swept long before we began measuring. By the same
    -token, an older honeypot that is still live is not necessarily “safe”: it
    -may simply be a lower-priority target the attackers are still working through.
    +A note on timing. Just because a particular honeypot here hasn't been taken
    +yet doesn't mean its entropy class is safe. We don't know long this attack has been going on, but it
    +started well before our
    +honeypots existed. The thousands of coins already taken were ground
    +down over more than a few days, likely much longer than ours have been live.
    +So read “still live” as not taken yet, nothing more: a honeypot
    +surviving for weeks says little about the safety of its entropy class (in
    +terms of older coins real people are still holding) because the
    +attackers have had a chance to grind those coins for far longer than any of ours have
    +existed.

How to check this yourself

The excerpts and plain unified diffs above show the text this project held and how it changed. To verify a quotation, compare it against the page itself or against the Internet Archive's copies, which are independent of this project.

Complete captures are held offline rather than mirrored here, so this page shows diffs and excerpts. If a quotation is ever disputed, the full copy can be produced. Ask.
