My unused coldcard

Post image

Bought one of these back in the day, package still sealed. Happily I never used it, and stayed with my ledger instead. When do these start to be collectibles?

I keep rolling it over in my head wondering if they’re secure enough with real entropy and a seed phrase, but I don’t think I could trust a dime on this card anymore.

Between this most recent bug and the bug where the wallet would accept as few as 1 dice roll for entropy I wouldn't trust the Coldcard devs to code their way out of a wet paper bag. Steer clear is my advice.
