1:256 for 24 words
1:16 for 12 words
Quite interesting. Not familiar with prior art here, but would be
interested in what your results are showing if you’re willing to share?

I think a third party would be pointless in general, but then I am strongly

I believe it would depend upon the entropy used for the seed, as that would
affect how many bits the checksum represents.

So for a 24 word / 256 bit mnemonic the checksum is 8 bits, thus there are
8 valid

Has anybody already looked at this: given N randomly chosen words
belonging to a BIP39 2048 words dictionary, what is the probability to
get a "valid" BIP39 seed (ie with the right checksum)?
The result looks (very) surprising to me and might have some use cases,
just would like to know if this
