    title: I haven’t touch my cc mk3 in 5 years. Help please.
    body:
    Hello, I have an mk3 which I haven’t touched since like 5 years and would like to move my funds to a different wallet. I have created the seedphrase with dice rolls but I don’t remember how many times I rolled and I also added a passphrase. I feel like I forgot everything about how to use the coldcard. Can someone give me a guide what should I do, especially if my cc was not “touched” since the first time I moved my funds?

    Go to cold card's website or ask ai, reddit ain't it brother. I will pray you are unaffected and once you recover the bitcoin make sure you move it to a new hardware wallet.

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.
