Fred Krueger argues that rolling a die 60 times takes two minutes and converting the rolls to a seed phrase takes one, and asks whether the reader's bitcoin is worth three minutes. The attached screenshot shows an offline single-file tool headed "Offline Dice Seed" that turns 60 six-sided rolls into a 12-word BIP-39 phrase, with instructions to write the words down by hand and clear the page. Held as a specimen of the dice-entropy advice that spread after the incident and of the tools people were pointed at, which is the form the advice took rather than an endorsement of it. The capture does not establish who wrote the tool or whether it behaves as described. The claim and the recommendation are the poster's own; the tool is not examined here.

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