PortlandHODL states that a simulator trace of multiple COLDCARD firmware binaries, tracing function calls, arguments and results, found nothing missed, and that dice-roll seed phrases should be safe for anyone who used a sufficient number of rolls, proposing 50-100 as a rough threshold. Held as a dated technical follow-up to the author's earlier dice-roll verification report, adding the trace methodology and a concrete roll-count estimate. The claim is the poster's own and is not independently verified here.

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