Quite a few people suggesting/using dice to mitigate the Coldcard vulnerability.
Note that common dice are not designed to be cryptographically secure.
If you are going to do this, you probably should buy precision casino dice. And even then, have another source of entropy.

I support BIP110 because Bitcoin is essential to the future of mankind and the last 8 months have proven it to be the best immediate solution to the critical injury inflicted by Core 30.
On Saturday, a troll made a false "consensus failure" report about Bitcoin Knots.
To put it simply: if Core corrupts your data, Knots sometimes can't detect the corruption.
Since Core is late updating to BIP110, it can in some case corrupt the database after activation.
This is not a surprise nor a bug in Knots, much less a serious issue.
Core also won't detect it; nor have most previous softforks guarded against it (eg, Taproot did not).
The simple answer is: don't run software that corrupts your data.
The deficiency in Core that can cause this corruption is only a risk starting in August.
Upgrade to the latest Knots 29.3.knots20260508 before then.
On Sunday, another fake "bug" was claimed by Murch.
It's a complete fabrication. There is nothing to do.
In both cases, there was zero disclosure to the project at all (much less responsible disclosure) - this is clearly a bad faith FUD campaign and will probably continue.
If any real concerns were to surface, @Bitcoin Knots would post an announcement.
Removing rules is a hardfork.
That includes scheduled rules like subsidy halvings, and yes, even BIP110.
Rejecting BIP110 is a contentious hardfork attempt.
And unlike softforks, hardforks need consensus to succeed.
There is no consensus on rejecting BIP110.
With respect to BIP110:
Knots 20260508: Yes
Old Knots: Yeah, but ask miners' permission
Core <=29: Yeah, but ask miners' permission
Core 30+: Okay, iff miners agree
LibreRelay: Okay, iff miners agree
Literally no node software actually *opposes* BIP110.
