Generating true entropy is really, really painful. Rolling dice 100 times, or flipping coins 256 times is not easy. It also doesn't help that most people have the attention span of insects.

I've argued in the past that the easiest entropy is very thoroughly shuffling a deck of cards and using the first 40 or so cards. I actually coded this feature into Armory back in the day. The problem with that one is it's not so easy to convert those cards to a seed phrase, at least without some hardware device. Still, it's better than the hardware generating the seed phrase on your behalf.

I would challenge this. Because most people don’t now how to shuffle a deck of cards.

Honestly rolling dice 100 times is a lot easier than stamping it all into steel (especially without a jig to align the stamps, and the wherewithal to not stamp a few letters sideways here and there). If rolling dice 100 times is hard might I suggest saying "no" if anyone ever asks you if you'd like...

Seedsigner has the feature of generating seed phrase from a picture. Is that good enough?

Rolling dice 100 times is pretty easy

How many times do we have to shuffle

This one is super easy, you just need need to get an 8 sided, and 16 sided die. https://help.blockstream.com/blockstream-jade/add-more-security-functionality/create-a-recovery-phrase-using-dice

Really not that hard to roll dice Jimmy. I did it, and it is likely what saved me from this Coldcard disaster. Having said that, self -custody solutions do need a lot of work imo.

flipping coins is easy but can be tedious... but you don't have to flip an individual coin 256 times. Instead, get 264 coins (to account for a mock checksum that will eventually be discarded), shake them up, then stack them into groups of 11 for their naturally randomly oriented heads or tails. Ea...

Roll dice, spend an hour or two to create 'real trustless' entropy... Cyperpunks take zero trust approach!.. Trust no hardware/software/company.. Sleep easy!

For fucks sake, what's so hard about chucking 100 dice and in a box, arranging them into a grid and entering the sequence into your coldcard or any other supporting wallet. ReALlY ReAlLy HaRd. This one is an influencers failure as much as it is an NVK shitshow.

I started following paul because I wanted to improve my trading knowledge, and it turned out to be one of the best decisions I've made. His guidance has helped me become more confident and disciplined in the market. https://blossom.primal.net/fd85235345f2e61f76349123d3c7ec3c8c86568d6f41c8bab73d7...

Bruh… Rolling rice or flipping coins for 15 mins to secure your generational wealth is not “really, really painful”.
