Title: Status of BIP39 Mnemonic code for deterministic keys
Post by: jl2012 on September 06, 2013, 05:25:56 AM
It seems there is not much discussion on BIP39 recently. Is there any progress? I wonder if we could extend it to non-English language to lower the barrier for more people.

I second this inquiry. I'm currently on the fence here on whether I should go for this method in a HW wallet prototype I'm working on.

I think the major task is to make a good word list. Coding is simple.

In my opinion, before going further, we must request the opinion of security experts.

I am not an expert, but introducing a new relation in the set of the DSA equations is just a weakening of the security.

There is nothing related to DSA. just an alternative way to present binary data
