I know so many people are experiencing pain at many levels right now. It probably feels like you need to do SOMETHING right now for your community.

… but adding dice rolling and other such things to the overgrown list of Bitcoiner purity tests will NOT lead to more self custody, and definitely not lead to more people becoming Bitcoiners.

It is totally rational to expect a professional hardware company to do their fucking job. The vast majority of them are. We need more user friendly products- not less.

…and FYI a properly designed piece of hardware will likely do a better job at creating randomness anyway.

If you do decide to roll dice and that’s the only way you feel safe at this point- that’s understandable. Please do it properly and follow a proper protocol.

Keep taking care of each other. Much love. GM.

TRNGs work on thermal noise and other things.

HWWs can absolutely generate fully random numbers without any external assistance.
