Material is attributed and quoted as published; where sources disagree their scenarios are kept separate with their assumptions rather than reconciled into one answer.

itsrealfake describing a personal test of a COLDCARD's dice-roll seed generation against the computer's randomness, posted the day after disclosure with the aside "DYOR, and all that." The body carries no results and the thread has no comments so far; its value is documenting an owner independently checking device entropy in the incident's wake, by the same author as stackernews-rng-analysis-by-device, stackernews-dice-roll-sound and stackernews-entropy-technical-deep-dive. Any implied claims about dice-roll safety are the author's, not verified here. Captured through the site's public GraphQL API: the rendered pages crash the capture tab, and the API answers POST from this host. The query fixes the captured surface to the item's title, text and two levels of comments, each with author and absolute timestamp.

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 .

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.
