Andreas Aantonopolous … discussing entropy and hardware wallets..including a discussion of @Coinkite ‘s pioneering retirement attack PROTECTION feature: verifiable dice roll entropy inclusion! Documentation here: https://coldcard.com/docs/verifying-dice-roll-math/

@N et al wisely created a feature that protected the opt-in user from a bug that was exploited some 5 years later…

Just think of how smart y’all would think these guys were if it were any other hardware wallet vendor whose wallet lacked sufficient entropy.

I would like to see more hardware wallet vendors protect their users against their own products by choosing to implement user generated entropy inclusion in a provable fashion like coinkite did.

Bad entropy will rear its head again somewhere…it will take more than one round of these beatings until the market learns.

So let me ask: what protection do you have from your hardware wallet? I’m betting the best you can do is a passphrase, so don’t forget it! Lose that passphrase and your seedphrase isn’t very helpful!

100%. I'll never trust unverifiable entropy
