@SeedSigner ("the man") @SeedSigner , please consider moving your support channels to something more accesibkd to all in the spirit of open source. X is well.....it's X. Telegram is pretty much impossible to register if one has a non-normie cell number and oh yeah.....it's Telegram.

Please correct me where I am wrong. Scenario A Me - Hi super advanced AI with crazy powerful hardware, please help me recover my lost seed. I originally generated the seed with cheap dice and likely didn't follow every last rule. I did roll the dice over100 times but not iin a cave with chanting monks on a full moon. AI - I can try but be aware I would still need to guess your correct 24 words from a list of 2048 and also get them in the exact right order, this could take many years. You may have weak (or low) entropy, but math is math. If your dice or you were in some way biased, I could at best only make a guess as to how (if so) and this could actually cause it to take more time. Scenario B Me - Hi super advanced AI with crazy powerful hardware, please help me recover my lost seed. I originally let my Coldcard MK3 (with RNG bug) generate the seed for me. AI - Given that I know about this bug and how their RNG used Coldcard device information such as serial number and other, this gives me a giant headstart and something to work with. This is like knowing the secret recipe for how these devices generated seeds, and knowing the recipe makes it much easier and quicker than brute forcing a seed from scratch.

Don't Circle Jerk, Verify.

I remember this podcast interview with Michael Flaxman way back when and thought he was crazy paranoid about hardware wallet seeds. I took his advice anyway, rolled the dice and put a passphrase on top. I am very grateful now to Flaxman and Livera for doing this excellent interview. There were even times later when I thought maybe I didn't do the dice thing correctly, maybe I should have just trusted my Coldcard Mark IV to generate a good seed! This is a must listen!
