Wondering if anyone has considered using a deck of playing cards for entropy?

Looks like it maths to 270 bits of entropy for 52 cards + 8 more after a shuffle. Just thinking about how quick and simple this might be able to implement to the screen of the Seedsigner.

Should I take the time to work on something like this?

Do not roll your own entropy scheme use casino dice on a rough surface cards are not as random as 6 sided dice

Just roll dice. 12 words are also sufficient

They could add roll a blunt for your seed phrase 😂 Even your Bitcoin could have a few giggles.

There's a list with all the possible words mapped to pairs of cards. Pulling randomly from a full deck each time is one way to do it. I don't know how that works with the seedsigner, but it should let you calculate the last word.
