Hugo, a Nunchuk co-founder, describes Nunchuk's decision to reuse Bitcoin Core's RNG, its past reliance on a hardware-vendor RNG for platform keys, and its pivot to dice-roll generated keys after the incident. He also highlights the Key Replacement feature and renews the argument for multi-vendor multisig. Held as a dated first-hand account of a vendor's technical response and positioning. The claims are the poster's own and are not independently verified here.
