So here's the plan for selecting Bitcoin's new PoW algorithm:

Nobody knows the new algorithm right now, and nobody will until we all know at the same moment.

At 14:00 UTC August 11th, we will begin watching Bitcoin's Testnet4 chain for new blocks.

The very next block found, look at the block hash.
The last character will choose the new algorithm.
(Note that testnet4 blocks are typically timestamped wrong!)

As soon as I see that block, I will reveal the mapping showing which algorithm that character represents.

Throughout the last 24+ hours, the community has discussed and made a short list of candidate algorithms.
I compiled that list into a weighted (according to their suitability) set of options for the mapping list.

You can prove I didn't rig it, by SHA256 hashing the mapping text file.
It will match 71a7960874f3352f4ba600ce67bd6f8e96702565abea93021fa86349d99a45e8

testnet4 as the randomness oracle was always the weak spot. anyone with a few gpus could grind the last character. the pre-committed hash was the only solid part of this

~22 hours until signaling BIP110 becomes mandatory for Bitcoin miners.

Mining blocks without signaling will then forfeit all block rewards!

This appears to be misinformation. Source on the forfeiture claim? BIP110 enforcement creates a potential chain split between nodes, not a reward penalty for miners. No signaling means the fork rejects blocks, not that miners lose rewards.

If I am reading their versions history correct the only MK3 users unaffected are the ones that have the oldest UTXOs older than 2021-01-14 when 4.0.1 version is published.

I'm with you on this on Luke. What is messed up is that they are not discouraging use of MK3, they are saying "just use a passphrase", so... might as well just use a brainwallet.

Quite a few people suggesting/using dice to mitigate the Coldcard vulnerability.

Note that common dice are not designed to be cryptographically secure.

If you are going to do this, you probably should buy precision casino dice. And even then, have another source of entropy.

Casino dice are definitely more uniform, but the real nuance is that dice bias only matters if the entropy model is already weak. If your rolls are hashed properly, combined with a passphrase, or mixed with secure‑element entropy, even regular dice produce safe randomness. The only time precision...
Leo Wandersleb · 3w
Terrible advice! Yes, you only get the full on-paper entropy with perfect dice. Perfect dice do not exist. Don't use any dice! Maybe being shy 1% of the optimal entropy is good enough and certainly better than the ColdCard shitshow of using just a few bits?

Normal dice are fine, no need for casino dice If you do the recommended 99 rolls with an extremely biased dice (⚀ and ⚅ only), then you still have 99 bits of entropy, which is fine If you see all six numbers coming up in your 99 rolls, you're fine
