Welp, I’m 5 PIN code attempts away from losing my stack of corn.

I set up a cold card last year, and put the xpub into sparrow wallet so I could generate deposit addresses. I used the cold card a bunch testing it out and such, but now a year later I can’t remember the PIN code for the life of me.

I thought I had written down the seed phrase and PIN code, but it seems for some dumb reason I didn’t??? Or I’ve possibly misplaced it.

Now that I think about it, I think I set it up initially thinking “this is just a test, I will reset the device and set it up for real later.”

I guess it was working so smoothly I forgot to reset it and set it up again later? But that means I didn’t write the seed down or the PIN code.

I just went to do some UTXO consolidation and realized all this, I’ve forgotten the pin, and am about to brick the device trying to remember.

RIP to my 2023 stack.

Each time it counts down the stench of fear grows.
