A COLDCARD Mk3 owner describes upgrading firmware, wiping the seed, generating two 100-roll dice seeds, checking each one online, verifying the procedure twice, and discarding the seeds before trusting the device for a future offline seed generation. Held as a dated first-hand owner account of post-incident mitigation behavior and confidence rebuilding. The claims about the procedure and its outcome are the poster's own and are not independently verified here.

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