Thanks for the great response. Yes the CC is on new firmware with new keys with dice.
My observation is either the Jade devices are adding some character between words or the cold card is. I only travel with a Jade as it allows me sign for the CC and other Jades. But since I can't replicate the finger print on the CC as I can on multiple Jades, I am stuck. I know I could never sign on CC and if I update both Jades and finger print changes and CC can't generate same fingerprint, I am cooked! I dont want to use 3 Jades, I need hardware diversity. I do have a Pi2 laying around maybe, I can put a KB and Monitor on that, but don't have display to build a seed signer yet. Any recommendations?

2026-08-02 18:36:25 UTC

Interesting situation here. I am setting up a new #multisig wallet. I have seed QR's for all 3 devices. I use the same BIP39 words for pass phrase and get different fingerprints on Jade and CC devices. But the finger prints match when not using a pass phrase. Any idea why this occurs? Using updated #coldcard MK2 F/W 4.2.0, Jade F/W 1.0.40 no radio. I have tried 1 word pass phrase and it works.2, 3 even 10 word combos max on jade don't work. One of these devices is adding characters or spaces between words. What should be the expectation. Is there a standard?

2026-08-02 16:30:32 UTC

Has anyone audited the #Jade from #bkockstream? I am not a coder. I have a #jade and hope I am not impacted like the I am in the MKII.

Anyone out here ever try broadcasting a Bitcoin transaction over Meshtastic to an internet connected device some long distance away? This seems like. A great way to circumvent internet lockdowns or outages in a region.
