Informational only. This is an open source collection of what others have published about the incident, together with an explanation of it. It is not financial, security or legal advice, and not a substitute for professional advice about your own situation. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or speaking for Coinkite. Material is attributed and quoted as published; where sources disagree their scenarios are kept separate with their assumptions rather than reconciled into one answer. Everything is meant to be checked against the linked evidence rather than taken on trust. Act on your own judgement about a particular situation. Editorial standards and corrections.

Quote-posts the offline dice-seed tool promoted at dotkrueger-2085507527178092813, a single-file browser page that converts sixty physical d6 rolls into a twelve-word BIP-39 phrase, and calls it an over-reaction, terrible advice, and a disaster in the making, on the ground that it asks owners to generate recovery seeds with custom vibe-coded software on a standard computer. Held because it is a direct objection to one of the concrete migration remedies circulating that week, and because it names the general risk, ad-hoc seed-generation tools written quickly under pressure, that the incident itself is an instance of. Interest: the account is Marek Palatinus, a co-founder of SatoshiLabs, which makes the competing Trezor hardware wallet, and that is stated here because the post is a criticism of advice being given to COLDCARD owners looking for somewhere to go. The assessment of the tool is the poster's own and is not verified here.

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