Can a bitcoin mnemonic or private key be diced - completely without a computer involved?
Question
All methods I saw dicing the key offline/analog, involed a computer in the end to make the last word compatible. But is there a way to get a random key outside?
I know that dicing is not "100% random" but if use 30 dices and burn the dice after creating the key, that should be totally fine, so I would appreciate if we stay on topic.
Answer 1
Yes, you can generate a 256-bit number randomly and use that as a private key. It must be in the range 1 to 115792089237316195423570985008687907852837564279074904382605163141518161494336.

Never use a private key generated by a website, or enter your private key into a website. Websites can easily save the private key and use it to steal your bitcoins.
