title: Mk4 5.1.2 seed safe with 100 added rolls?
body:
This was how my seed was generated and reading the security notice I should be fine. I appear to be safe but will probably migrate in due time.

I don't want to fuck up rushing and offloading my bag to a new wallet but this shows you might always need to and having an action plan is the way to go.

If you rolled dice and input each roll 100 times, you're safe. You added your own entropy rather than relying on the internal RNG.

Anyone who did not add dice rolls, at least 50 but preferably 99+, should move their BTC.

    Excerpt only. The complete copy is held offline and backs quotations on this site. The original publication remains the canonical public source.

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.
