The Problem

A hardware-wallet security incident can leave holders unsure whether their existing seed phrase is safe, whether a device's internal randomness can be trusted, and which replacement wallets can recover their backups. Attempting migration alone risks incompatible recovery formats, exposed seed material, lost funds, or a false sense of security.

Potential Solution

Offer a standardized in-person wallet migration ceremony in which the customer generates new seed material using documented dice-based entropy, verifies recovery on compatible hardware, and transfers funds through staged test transactions. The operator supplies equipment, checklists, compatibility guidance, and observation while using a zero-knowledge procedure that prevents the operator from seeing or recording the customer's seed.

Why Now?

Recent concern about a core random-number-generation failure has triggered distrust in internally generated seeds and questions about regeneration. Recovery-format fragmentation makes immediate migration technically risky for affected holders.

How many of you are redoing your seed phrase generation in light of the cold card hack?
r/BitcoinAug 4, 2026

Being under SLIP-39 technology reduces what other wallet types can recover it. It's almost exclusively to Trezor. You can't enter the recovery phrase in to a Coldcard for example.

A warning about misinformation about coldcard

You cannot trust internal generation anymore. And I have doubts about “simple passphrase is enough” thing. After the incident I would recommend to stick to the dice rolls plan

Cold card vs Ledger
r/BitcoinAug 4, 2026

If Ledger uses the TRNG ship like they say they are. Then you're as safe as you can be, some people would say the dice generation method is even more safe, I'm not a mathematician so I can't tell, but TRNG ships are used by the banking system, so you can imagine it's totally fine. About the code not being open source, and knowing coldcard code was open source, letting AI checking it and maybe finding the flaw, I can't tell if that's a bad thing. Before AI it was a good thing to have open source, so nerds could check if there was shaddy things there, but today, I'd probably defend the closed source way, idk.
