It seems like retro-crypto accepts enough dice rolls for a seed that wouldn't be cracked any time soon, but it would probably become crackable in the future. Approximately 90 bits. Not as bad as I thought, but still bad. Needs to be able to do 256 bits.

To be fair, the same advice would have helped the coldcard victims even while using coldcard. Or my other advice of using dice rolls View quoted note →

This isn't my "next video" I mentioned yesterday, I just randomly felt like making this

Even the current version, with its issues, probably could have saved all those coldcard victims if it just got (1) enough testers for me to start recommending the seed phrase recovery mode and (2) those coldcard victims actually taking my advice View quoted note →

If the people promoting coldcard helped retro-crypto get done instead, it would have air-gapped transaction sending capability by now, and it could have saved so many of the coldcard hack victims. View quoted note →

Spent the past hour or so following up about this issue everywhere I remember posting the video. Gonna take a break from internet and go for a walk now. 🤙 View quoted note →

Seriously, the retro-crypto bounty has been posted AND FUNDED for years and still doesn't even have a beta release ready to showcase, because people just keep ignoring it. I spent so much time and energy making that video thinking it was ready to showcase despite being unfinished, which I shouldn't even have had to do. People should be noticing it for what it is and pushing its development so that I could be showcasing a FINISHED version by now, not making me showcase a beta release to try to generate hype to get it finished, let alone making me waste time thinking I could do that when it wasn't even ready for THAT yet.

Imagine how much closer to done retro-crypto would be if all the scammers that promoted coldcard actually covered it 😔

This is my personal use case for retro-crypto that still works even if the built-in dice roll feature is broken View quoted note →

I've removed my recent video about retro-crypto from YouTube because it had one major issue - the dice roll input screen didn't accept enough dice rolls, which I didn't notice while making the video. I forgot at least 50 dice rolls are required, and I didn't inspect it too closely because my personal use case was more focused on converting seed phrases into wallet addresses. The nostr copy can't be removed, so it will stay up, but I'll add a comment addressing this issue. Thanks to /u/anymonero on reddit for making me notice this

wtf goin on here? #asknostr

Zoe Blake's acoustic cover of Love Is A Long Road is fucking amazing. Tom Petty would be very impressed if he could hear it.

This isn't about security, it's about user freedom. GrapheneOS shouldn't complain about Revolut being a security theatre honeypot when they're the same way, but GrapheneOS can definitely complain about Revolut cracking down on user freedom while they stand with keeping Android open View quoted note →

Love is a long, long road

Nothing like LittleBigPlanet will ever be made again imo
