there is a difference between being cautious and paranoid.
so far there has been millions of bitcoin keys created and trillions of dollars worth of bitcoin have been transferred around and to this day there has not been a single case of bad RNG coming from the good wallets like bitcoin core or electrum. the cases were from new, shady or weak codes or services such as blockchain.info, javascript base websites and wallets,...
that is why people aren't really looking for alternatives, specially when that alternative could take an hour of their time and still not be safe.

I understand. And I encourage everyone to be paranoid, it would be foolish to not verify and just trust anything when it comes to cryptocurrency. Majority of the users are just going to follow the recommendations of enthusiasts / authority figures anyway, but we as enthusiasts have that responsibility to look after the community.
This project arised out of my own needs, hence I am building my own hardware wallet running a custom linux OS that can truly maintain the air-gap with the ability to verify everything from source code to the end product in hand.
Please see this diagram - https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Ec40sGxUMAA8ycM?format=png&name=large and I recommend you to read the above reply I posted as well. This is the first time I am presenting the project to the community in a lose manner, where obviously the entire vision isn't put out well enough for easy comprehension. So, I will also get to refine the vision and story, the more I talk about it.
And lastly, I hope the community encourages the open source spirit of wanting to verify everything and hacking away to deploy their principles or give voice to their opinions. Criticise it to its last bit, but do participate
