Also I can't see how I would use this to seed a hardware wallet that
requires a BIP39 seed as mentioned in your abstract.

I think any method that doesn't use real entropy, but some fake source of
randomness, such as a book is asking to be hacked and so is not a
reasonable idea.

So, OP, in your scenario, you have 1 transaction in the mempool, A, then
you want to spend the change before confirmation, so you broadcast a new
transaction, B, which replaces A.

If you spent your change from transaction A, that would be safe. There'd be
no way you John could end up with 2 BTC from you then.

I don't see any modifications to the proposal that addresses the issue that
miners will always be free to choose their own priority that a few people
brought up before.
I understand you think it's in the miners best long-term interest to follow
these rules, but even if a miner agrees with you, if

That convention would be the alternative to BIP0039 I am referring to.

1. The same words are used for wallets of all kinds of coins, so it's not
obvious it's for bitcoin.
2. Anyone recognising the word "satoshi" as related to cryptocurrency in
general, would also recognise any mnemo
