title: Still using Coldcard but with great entropy?
body:
Anyone else still using a coldcard after updating firmware, creating a seed physically with coin tosses & a strong BIP 39 Pass-phrase?

i checked if the dice rolls gives correct seed with a set of test-rolls/test seeds: 1.5.0Q gives correct dice rolls seeds.

I will never ever trust any RNG, it does not matter what company it is.

I trust my 馃幉 and verify they are compiled correctly to seed.

I cannot verify a RNG, I cant read code, but I can roll 馃幉 and verify it.

Iportant: never ever use those tested/verified dice derived seeds. Test - dump - make fresh rolls and use that for seed.

    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.
