I know bitkey abstracts away the seed phrase; but, at some level, it must be relying on an RNG for key generation, right? How do you validate that? Or, is the thinking that its multi-sig (albeit, no...

If you're using Bitkey, it's probably because you don't wan't to know or care about that. How does Ledger do RNG? Who knows? I never asked when I first bought one.

That said, my understanding is it's 3 separate RNGs for the 3 separate keys: phone/app, hardware, server. To audit those RNGs, you'd have to look at the code. https://github.com/proto-at-block/bitkey/tree/main

Fair. I guess my thinking is that (as many say) 'being your own bank' responsibly requires caring about such things. i.e. get a device that allows you to bring your own seed that you manually created (which is simple enough for just about anyone to learn to do safely) and avoid the otherwise unnec...
