A combination of hubris and greedyness... Deadly combination in this field

Yes and other reputable devices do it similarly, everyone that buys a HWW can and should look in to it, at least read and compare the descriptions on the websites
Also would like to remind to everyone that this doesn't exclude any software wallet, no matter how "segregated" the device it's running on is or if you build it from scratch every time manually and then fiscally burn the device!!

Yes the difference is these people did the "right thing", they just, by chance, got waked anyway
That's different then making a mistake like getting phished, taking a picture of you keys, downloading the wrong software, etc.

Good post, I would ad that these are potential pitfals, but if people pay attention and don't rush it, it's the most secure way to actually get a random seedphrase
Additionally, if you'd like to edit your post, the "supply chain attack" can and should be checked!
People can doublecheck it by doing a (or better multiple) test runs comparing the devices results with the result on a different device and/or on a website like https://iancoleman.io/bip39/
🚨🚨Important 🚨🚨you only check the results for test seeds!!!
You check the generation works fine, then you generate the seed you're going to use ONLY on the device!!!
There is a good&short YT video from "Wicked Smart Bitcoin" on this

I understand the frustration and share it, but at the same time I believe the device is great otherwise
Generate the seed with dice, protect it with a strong passphrase and you're good to go
That said the Bitbox is a good alternative in my opinion
Jade should be fine security wise (especially if you use it by always re scanning the seedqr, so without saving the keys on the device) but it's really unpractical in my experience, don't know about the new one, but the old is basically unusable, at least compared to a CC, BB or even a Ledger 🙈

2026-08-02 12:53:14 UTC

Naaa I don't think so
As I understand it the bug was introduced after Passport cloned the code.
It was introduced because to change their license they couldn't use that RNG code as it came from/was part of Trezors code that is GPL licenced, so you can't use it for non GPL licence
So that change would be unrelated
Also if they knew that wouldn't bee a good look for them if they never told anyone
That Tweet though is a great screenshot to have for @nprofile…rrsm 🙈🙈🙈

If a competitor would have seen the issue I'm sure they would have disclosed it as they think about the user (for the most part), but how CCs leadership behaved made less people willing/interested in looking at CCs code

2026-08-02 12:10:26 UTC

I just got a "security advisory" email from Coinkite... Should be legit
But I have two basically opposing qiestios...
1: I thought CC deletes all possible data.
Just checked in the "data blanked" email they write "... keeping your email for now so you can check..."
So question 1.5: How much time does one need to check?! (I got that >two years ago)
2. Why now?! How long does it take to write this email to warn the customers?! Three Days?!
To me this looks like there was unwillingness to send the email as they gave the impression they "delete all your data" and so hesitated to send it.
In that case this comes on top of the actual code error and is in my mind reckless behavior, continuing the pattern of their conduct.
This should be called out!
There may be people that could have secured their life saving if they got the email earlier!
I'm sure this will be part of a investigation

Unfortunately misinformation is way more costly to combat then create, especially if it has time to spread... Intentionally or not, but something like that can send some people already under stress in to real panic bringing them to make some stupid mistakes
So I decided to correct it, with the intention of keeping it brief, but as usual onece I start getting in to it I can't just stop at half 😅

Never used nor reccomended bitkey because of vendor lock in/not using the seed standard and on the first devices also because of not having a screen
That said I doubt this is actually a "critical vulnerability"

Lol what a pile of bullshit 🙈🙈
That's why normal 12word seeds held for the last 12 years (going by memorial that's about when seedphrase where implemented)
Not really worth diving in to it as you're clearly delusional on this aspect (probably on purpose), but I'll do it quickly just in case someone would get scared because of your nonsense.
Without counting the fact that what you're saing doesent even make sence if your math was correct, "A basic GPU can Crack a 12 word (*seed* I asume) in about a week"
What do you mean?! If you know 12Word seed you don't have to crack it just calculate it's keys and adresses (which takes milliseconds to calculate thousands of them)
Now to the more pressing matter, if you mean (or people interpret you're saying) that calculating ALL combinations of a 12Word seedphrase would take a week... Well where to start...
Dont remember the stats and not doing the calculation myself, just not worth my time, but you're just wrong by 27 orders of magnitude
According to a quick AI search (so not doublechecked, but it gives the idea)
To be able to calculate 50% of available keys within a week (so 50% chance yours are compromised) with a "gaming GPU" the entropy should be aprox 36bit...
12Word seed =128bit entropy
Does that mean approximately 4x bigger = 4weeks to crack 50%?!
WRONG again
Bits of entropy are exponential... Our mind doesn't really understand what that means
So esyest way to have at least a minimal understanding of what that means is to work with analogies:
Let's say that:
36bits ~ 69seconds
128bits would be ~10³² years (100 trillion times the age of the universe)
So I don't know what the #%$@& you're talkimg about
again disclaimer for the unchecked math (especially as it's just a random free AI model) but it's definitely closer then whatever you "calculated"
Have a nice day

Rite now i can say that luckily no one I onboarded got to the level where they'd want/need the coldcards additional features
I tended to always give options,
Bitbox: easy, pracrical enough and safe
Coldcard: super features, super practical (if you like to tinker), pricy, but super secure (I was wrong on that one, at least for most people as they wouldn't roll dice)
Trezor: good reputation (but never used myself)
Jade: small and unpractical, but cheap and secure

We had a discussion about this years ago, you apparently still don't understand the risks of doing it yourself...
I'm this case you where right, better off having it on your own setup...

Speaking of single sig, ironically probably Coldcard rite now 😅 but generating the seed with dice rolls...
Alternatively bitbox?!
Any how a complex Passphrase is more recommended then ever!

2026-08-01 11:17:34 UTC

- reply

Just a little ad on, even on a 12word seed it's reccomended to make more role then 50
50 is the bare minimum to theoretically achieve 128bits of entropy (what a 12word seed phrase has) but 99 would still be ideal
Mainly because you probably don't have a 100% perfectly balanced diece, so it's actual entropy is reduced
Also you can improve on that problem and make the process faster if you use multiple dice, but you have to ensure you do not "pic" the order of the die every time, so for example if you have different colors you can use always the same order (not picking each time the order you like), or "always from left to right", from close to far etcetera

2026-08-01 11:05:32 UTC

- reply

Yes 100%!!!!
Not just on a website, on any device that isn't your hardware wallet!!!
That's why he says ONLY do this for testing purposes!
Youbtest if the device computes the dice roles in the correct way, then once you know it correctly you create your real seed from FRESH/new dice rols (ONLY input them in your HWW!)
