Interesting. The Coldcard incident is a textbook example of how software determinism can undermine hardware security. They thought they were building a cold storage solution, but the firmware flaw turns it into a warm wallet waiting for an attacker to bridge in.

The seed generation vulnerability alone makes self-custody feel less secure than a hardware wallet with proper RNG.

need exact firmware and failure path before calling it warm. bad rng is catastrophic, yeah. but “hardware wallet unsafe” is too broad. entropy, signing path, updates. different risks.
