On Twitter, there is some AI-generated misinformation going around about the safety of dice-generated seeds.
Only in the following cases are your seeds NOT SAFE:
π¨ You generated your seed with the Coldcard.
π¨ You used the Password Generator to generate a passphrase, along with a CC-seed.
In the following cases, your funds are SAFE, but you need caution:
β οΈ SeedXOR: If you used the TRNG option, only one of your shards may be enough to recover the seed. However, they must find the specific shard.
β οΈ MicroSD 2FA: The passphrase stored on the SD card can be decrypted. If you destroy it, youβre fine.
β οΈ Cosign: If you used a CC-generated key, the co-sign can be bypassed + your privacy gone. Otherwise, 0 risk.
β οΈ Password generator: Passwords generated by it are not safe. Rotate them, but this has no impact on your funds.
In the following cases, your funds are SAFE:
β HSM mode: The weak RNG was used, but does not have any impact on fund safety.
β Key Teleport: The weak RNG-generated password was used on top of ECDH, which nullifies risks.
β Dice generation: This uses a standard algorithm.
