Wicked answers the claim that nobody is going to roll dice 100 times by pointing to his own two-year-old tutorial, "Create & Verify Your Bitcoin Seed Phrase Using Dice + Coldcard + SeedSigner", which he says has 4.6k views on YouTube alone, and screenshots two appreciative viewer comments, one of them about being able to verify that signing devices really use the rolled entropy. Held in the dice-mitigation strand, where this account's earlier alarm and same-day walk-back are already preserved at w_s_bitcoin-2084991031724957808 and w_s_bitcoin-2085105794950029561. Interest: the post promotes the poster's own content, and the evidence offered for the claim is that content's reception. The view count and the selected comments are the poster's presentation of his own material and are not verified here.

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