60 sats \ 10 replies \ @boisechampion OP 18 Dec 2023 \ parent \ on: Leaving out signing devices, what is the safest way to generate a private key? bitcoin
Thank you. The instructions state you need a Coldcard. I want to do this without a hardware device.
the only thing the coldcard does is give 8 options for the 24th word. there must be a way to get those 8 options without a coldcard. I'll ask around

Thank you. All I'm really asking is how do I generate 24 seed words as safely as possible without hardware?
Said another way. I know there are Bitcoiners who don't ever touch hardware devices. So how do they safely generate their 24 words along with all their addresses.
reply
not to sound rude, but why don't you ask them? haha I don't know any bitcoiners who do it without hardware devices else I'd ask myself....

I don't know any personally. Just influencers or anons and none of them will answer me. Hence, Stacker News.

hey, I was able to reach wicked, and he mentioned this: You can run some terminal commands to get the 24th word but that will only be as secure as the computer you're running it on. Here's a guide https://armantheparman.com/dicev2/

Happy to help ⚡⚡🧡
I tried it too some time ago, it's crazy, be ready to redo everything multiple times... You'll mess a lot.
While trying to understand the sha256 I found a web tool that goes through the algorithm step by step, it should help you to get everything right as arman's guide skips it a bit on repetitive steps.

can you name them? Maybe someone knows them and can reach out
