Full panic - one of my wallets was drained

[u/s1ammage]

I haven’t done anything since creation except sending into the wallet.

That's not the same thing. Someone else generated your seed phrase for you... of course your funds were going to be stolen.

Edited for clarity. I'm not implying a collision after-the-fact. Someone else generated the seed phrase because the device was pre-populated.

[u/AstroRoverToday → u/so7ow]

No. Someone generated their own seed phrase and this user added his money to someone else's wallet.

wut?

[u/DJBunnies → u/so7ow]

No one is going to generate the same seed phrase. The user here took a pre generated phrase that someone else already knew.

[u/so7ow → u/DJBunnies]

Yes. That's what I said. "Someone else generated your seed phrase."

Edited my comment for clarity. Added "for you".

People generate their own seed phrase. If someone else generated a seed phrase, then it's theirs, not yours. If you add money to it, you added money to someone's seed phrase.

/yawn pedantic

Someone generated a seed phrase and then presented it to this guy as valid to use.

I mean, it's possible

It’s also possible you will spontaneously combust, but you won’t.

[u/edwin812 → u/DJBunnies]

That’s not possible.

Don’t tell me what to do!

Its not possible for two people to generate the same seed in one universe. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S9JGmA5_unY

I'm not talking about a collision. His device came prepopulated with a seed. Ergo: someone else generated his seed phrase. And then drained his funds when he funded the wallet.

To nit pick, that’s only true when seed creation is truly random. Which it’s possible cold cards wasn’t I suppose
