Hi all,
just new to the list and curious to know if next proposal (or similar)
for reducing mining-power consumption has already been discussed.
The objective is to reduce the power consumption required while keeping

Preface: As a longstanding policy, whenever I buy a new hard disk or
decommission an old one, I immediately `dd` it from start to end with a
pseudorandom byte stream. The result is indistinguishable from my disk
encryption setup, which leaves no apparent on-disk headers. I don’t do

While a clunky way to do it, you can use the `-signer` option to tell

This is very sad.
The number one problem in Japan with BIP39 seeds is with English words.
I have seen a 60 year old Japanese man writing down his phrase (because
he kept on failing recovery), and watched him write down "aneter" for

I’m not a fan of language specific word lists within the current BIP-39

can lead to vendor lock-in and long term loss of funds if a rare
non-English wallet disappears.
I propose and request as an enhancement that the BIP 39 wordlist set
should specify canonical native language strings to identify each
wordlist, as well as short ASCII language codes. At present, the
languages are identified only by their names in English.
