Citadel Dispatch had a whole show dedicated to how RNGs are broken or backdoored
more nuanced and maybe actionable advice is probably something like:
- get informed about what entropy from dice rolls is for,
- don't trust just one software implementation with life changing wealth, and
- learn how to add your own entropy in a safe way to avoid relying just on the software
that's how I'd rewrite the title/post if I wasn't trying to pitch a hardware wallet.
one advantage of rolling dice is you do it in front of your eyes. you see and experience the entropy yourself. so you can sleep a bit sounder knowing you're not wholly trusting software that you don't exactly know 100% inside out
I don't see how someone would get it wrong using the guide above, or one of these. How do people specifically fail when following a guide like this?
