Every check is recorded, including checks that found no text change. A detected edit is therefore bounded between two checks. The publisher's exact save time is not observable from this record. Last checked .
This post is held twice: here, with this project's own note on why it matters, and again as part of the conversation captured at , which is polled for changes. Both copies are the same post; neither is a separate event.
Snapshot and diff bodies for this chain monitor are held in the local evidence archive but withheld from the public site because they can contain the addresses of people who published nothing themselves. Capture times and reviewed change summaries remain available below.

post: 1vdbi6e author: powsupertrader created_utc: 1785655612 title: Accidental NFC Button Press During Dice-Only Seed Generation body: Hello Coinkite Support and Reddit Friends, I generated a new 24-word seed on a COLDCARD Q running firmware 1.5.0Q, using the dice-roll method only. I entered 450 genuine six-sided dice rolls. **Around the 30th roll, I accidentally pressed the physical NFC button, which is located near the number 1 button.** I then continued entering the remaining dice rolls and completed the seed-generation process normally. Could you please confirm: 1. Is the NFC-button press ignored while the dice-roll entry screen is active? 2. Could it have changed, interrupted, or reduced the entropy used to generate the seed? 3. Is the resulting 24-word seed safe to use, or should I regenerate it? 4. Does the accidental NFC-button press have any effect on a passphrase that I add later, or on the wallet derived from that seed and passphrase? Thank you. comment: p17qqlh parent: t3_1vdbi6e author: HodlDee created_utc: 1785656121 edited: false body: 450 is more than enough. 100+ is good and you should have 256 bits of entropy. comment: p17r4fs parent: t1_p17qqlh author: powsupertrader created_utc: 1785656313 edited: false body: Could you please confirm whether the resulting 24-word seed is fully safe to use and does not need to be regenerated solely because I accidentally pressed the NFC button during dice-roll entry? comment: p17rbn2Excerpt only.
