Exactly This is surprising, I would have expected the probabilities to be much more lower
It just means that scanning whatever (secret) book, document, link, etc, you will find easily BIP39 seeds, even of 24 words So, it just means that you don't have to write your seed since you can recover it that way, given a secret source and specific algo with custom parameters, this could be used for plausible deniability also For now I still dislike BIP39 and alike (because I don't see very well why it's easier to write n words that you cannot choose rather than a 32B BIP32 hex seed, and I have seen many people completely lost with their wallets because of this), but I could change my mind, and despite of further improvements for this ratio, could what I am suggesting make sense?
