COLDCARD seed generation bug (disclosed July 2026): Coinkite says a firmware bug weakened seed generation on affected COLDCARD releases, and attackers took funds from weak seeds offline. Affected: seeds made on Mk2/Mk3 firmware 4.0.1 to 4.1.9, and on Mk4/Mk5 before 5.6.0 (Edge 6.6.0X) and Q before 1.5.0Q (Edge 6.6.0QX). A firmware update does not repair an existing seed: install the fixed firmware, make a new seed and move funds, unless the advisory's 50+ private dice-roll exception applies. TAPSIGNER, OPENDIME and SATSCARD are not affected. COLDCARD is not one of the wallets compared below and is not linked as a shop.
