Out of curiosity I’ve sent some dust to the Coldcard generated wallet I’ve safely evacuated when the news broke out. It got instantly wiped out. 💀 💀 💀 View quoted note →

My take on the dice entropy thing. Unless you arrive at the same result using two different software the "just roll dice bro" recommendation is as fail prone as trusting the Coldcard RNG. In the Coldcard case there was a TRNG but it wasn't being used. What guarantees your dice rolls are not being ignored on your new system of choice?

So yesterday I saw the news about the vulnerability right after I woke up. I was groggy and couldn’t understand exactly what was happening and if it was a local attack. I’ve checked my wallet and everything was there. In my mind I could go to work and deal with the issue later. It was a short video from @Chris Fisher on his Bitcoin channel that explained to me. I listen to podcasts on Apple so don’t even actively follow him on YouTube but the algo had a rare win that morning. Thats when I understood everything was going on. So I told my boss I’ll be late to work and calmly relocated all my funds to a hot wallet. I don’t know why I was spared. Maybe the autonomous attackers didn’t reached out or maybe I generated the seeds on the Mk3 running a 3.x firmware. Anyway thanks @Chris Fisher! Big fan of Linux Unplugged too. You made a huge difference.

MK3 survivor here. I’m guessing my wallet wasn’t as juicy as those 500 bitcoins. In any case all good for now. I did it in a hurry so to hell with coin control. I need a new solution. Any suggestions? I’m also not sure if something open source that someone can throw against an AI agent is a good idea for generating keys in this day and age. I’ll probably throw some dice.
