Back in 2011, Bitcoin was a money for people to buy drugs off the internet and not much else according to the media. In other words, Bitcoin was for those people, not for respectable, law-abiding citizens. The narrative changed in early 2013. Bitcoin became a place to practice trading, especially for those who craved more action than the stock market could give them. Bitcoin started to be for traders as well.
Hi Jimmy! I'm honored to have Rudefox Burrow mentioned in your newsletter! Though I have been both a developer and a Bitcoiner for quite a while, your recent book is what set me down the path of doing some serious Bitcoin coding. So, in a sense, this is just as much YOUR project!
As for supporting entropy based on a deck of cards, this is a great entropy source in general, but it doesn't work within my "self-audited seed" framework. I go into the details in my blog post, but, in short, in order to be amenable to a noob-friendly lookup-table, an entropy source needs to yield values that are powers of 2. This is why I went with 8-sided dice. I do, however, plan to add a deck-of-cards entropy source to the *non-self-auditing* portion of the tool. Happy to engage further through Twitter DM if you're interested!

P.S. I'm releasing an initial version of the Burrow Pi Image today
