1  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / BIG QUESTION : BIP 0039 on: September 13, 2020, 04:32:03 AM
When I create a Bitcoin wallet, it provides 12 words.

such as : bounce error alert step hint way initial drastic impose nephew camera town

one phrase has value between <1 - 2048(2^11)>

the total bitcoin address is 2^160.  

12 phrase can make 2^11 * 12 phrase = 2^132

1.
Why is the total count different between total bitcoin address(2^160) and 12 phrase(2^132)Huh?  

2.
BIP 39 : abandon > 1
Bitcoin Address 'abandon(1) abandon(1) abandon(1) abandon(1) abandon(1) abandon(1) abandon(1) abandon(1) abandon(1) abandon(1)'
I thought I could restore the wallet with these 12 words. but it doesn't connect to a wallet.
