@isabellasg3 @Jason_Matos @Bitkey The coldcard program accidentally ignored most of the randomness generated by the special chip in the device and used crappy, predictable formulas. So the seeds were guessable.

@isabellasg3 @Jason_Matos @Bitkey People are suggesting dice because it is a real-world source of randomness that allows you to generate 128 random 0s and 1s by yourself, without having to trust that the computer is doing it right. That kind of real-world randomness can't be guessed.
