Re: [bitcoin-dev] Bech32 and P2SH²

P2SH^2 wasn't a serious proposal-- I just suggested it as a thought experiment. I don't think it offers much useful in the context of Bitcoin today. Particularly since weight calculations have made output space relatively more expensive and fees are at quite non-negligible rates interest in

Re: [bitcoin-dev] BIP 39: Add language identifier strings for wordlists

No that's not, some parts of the answer might be but this related, this just shows how people use wrongly BIP39 and subsequent BIPs (and globally other things), misleading them, while the advantage of using it is quite dubious compared to backing up a seed, unless you can convince me of the

See: https://github.com/Ayms/bitcoin-transactions/issues/3 OK, maybe it's my fault, I did not foresee this case, and now it's working for p2sh (non segwit) From my standpoint this just means that BIP39/44 stuff should be eradicated (not BIP141 but see what happened...), this is of no use,

Re: [bitcoin-dev] BIP 39: Add language identifier strings for wordlists

I don’t know about Electrum but many wallets validate the English words, which helps in catching typos. Hardware wallets without a full keyboard, like the Ledger Nano S, won’t even let you freely type characters; you have to select words from a list. So although the standard technically allows

I’m not a fan of language specific word lists within the current BIP-39 standard. Very few wallets support anything other than English, which can lead to vendor lock-in and long term loss of funds if a rare non-English wallet disappears. However, because people can memorize things better in

[bitcoin-dev] BIP 39: Add language identifier strings for wordlists

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. Strings properly vetted and
