COLDCARD HAS TWO DICE MODES.

ONE USES COLDCARD ENTROPY AND THEN ADDS USER PROVIDED DICE RANDOMNESS ON TOP. THIS MODE GENERATES A SECURE SEED REGARDLESS OF DICE ROLLS.

THE OTHER IS USER PROVIDED DICE ROLL ENTROPY ONLY. IF A USER DOES NOT BRING ENOUGH RANDOMNESS TO SEED GENERATION IN THIS MODE - RECOMMENDED TO PROVIDE GREATER THAN 100 GOOD DICE ROLLS - THEY CAN GENERATE AN INSECURE SEED. THIS MODE ENABLES AN ADVANCED USER TO GENERATE A SEED IN A REPRODUCIBLE WAY WITHOUT TRUSTING COLDCARD.

I didn’t use dice rolls on my coldcard. Trusted the coldcard entropy. Am I the only one? 😬

I added dice rolls to a CC generated seed

I gather that’s what I should have done.

Not necessarily, I think what you did is fine, the only reason I didbwhat I did is incase the random number generators aren't as random we think.

I freaked out about it when I learned about dice rolls but when I looked up how the CC generates your seed I was like, meh, probably good. lol
