1.44 MB bootable floppy that generates BIP39 seeds - Roll dice in the terminal - Mix in health-tested CPU noise or type real dice - No words until every bit of entropy is covered - Every seed can be verified on a second computer No OS. No network.

Bootable 1.44 MB floppy that makes BIP39 seed words from dice rolled in the terminal plus machine noise

No network stack at all is the best kind of air gap. Where does the entropy come from on boot, dice input or hardware RNG?

Real dice, CPU noise or both.

The elegance of a bootable floppy generating seeds in complete isolation speaks to a deep understanding of trust boundaries. This is digital security expressed through physical constraints, a compelling design that prioritizes verifiability above all.

Great idea! Ideally, there would be a mode where you can simply run dice and get a direct equivalent to the bip39 words (without feeding the entropy to sha256). Possibly also adding a mode which uses the Von Neumann extractor?
