🚨URGENT COLDCARD SECURITY UPDATE
Read carefully before acting.
👉Mk3 seed generated on 4.0.1+ without ≥50 private, independent dice rolls: begin a careful migration now.
👉Mk4/Mk5 <5.6.0 or Q <1.5.0Q: update first, generate a new seed, then migrate.

@jojogg5544@COLDCARDwallet Please block and report with immediate effect, they are easy to identify. We would never ask you for such information @jojogg5544
@SLEYMANKELfoqr@BTC_Hyper2 That's not true, I think you're the one not getting it right. I bought with Solana and I could still stake my purchased tokens. Let me know if you need me to walk you through the process.

Extremely important correction.
@jackmallers there wasn’t a weak entropy fallback. I think it’s important to be precise about what actually happened.
The weak PRNG (Yasmarang) wasn’t Coinkite’s fallback—it was MicroPython’s built-in general-purpose RNG, introduced upstream in May 2018. It didn’t become part of Coldcard’s seed generation until the libNgU migration in March 2021.
Most language runtimes include a non-cryptographic RNG like this for general purposes such as shuffling, timing jitter, or other non-security-related randomness. By itself, that’s not unusual.
Coinkite’s design intent was actually the opposite of having a software fallback: seed generation was supposed to rely exclusively on the hardware TRNG and never use the software RNG. Setting MICROPY_HW_ENABLE_RNG=0 was intended to disable that software path.
The issue is that this setting didn’t have the intended effect, and the symbol instead resolved to the runtime’s default implementation. So what people are describing as a “fallback” wasn’t an intentional design decision or a shortcut in the seed-generation logic—it was inherited behavior from the underlying platform that became active because of a link-time error.
Please treat this as urgent. Migrate your funds. Follow the advisory for your model, upgrade your device, generate a new seed, and carefully move your funds.
Help spread the word, especially to people who are less online and may not see this update.
The threat is still ongoing.
🚨 NOTICE: Claims that current firmware permanently bricks COLDCARD devices are incorrect.
If this TRNG fault occurs, power-cycle it: fully remove all power, then restart.
The state is volatile, nothing is written to flash, and it fails closed. Fix:

@JohnSteelz@COLDCARDwallet We know this is solely our fault and we take full responsibility and blame. The recovery plan and reimbursement process will be communicated soon. Stay in touch.
@DanishVagabond@COLDCARDwallet Memo has already been sent to affected users, the reimbursement plan and process will be announced soon as well. We believe you're not affected.
Why destroy affected inventory?
COLDCARD has a series of high-security system locks. Once programmed, it cannot be re-upgraded until the user initializes it.
We cannot ship units with affected firmware and risk users missing the upgrade.
The safest action was to destroy all the affected inventory and ship only those with the new fixed firmware.
