MultiBit here. At least Trezor and bitcoinj (Multibit) seems to be going in this way, which is 100% of clients which expressed interest in bip39 :-). slush We'll be using the BIP39 implementation present in Bitcoinj as slush says. Proper Unicode handling is a serious issue however. You don't

We should just perform Unicode canonicalization before any text hits the crypto code. There are algorithms that automatically resolve such issues. Although with an English wordlist it would seem to make no difference anyway. On Tue, Jan 21, 2014 at 10:01 AM, Gary Rowe g.r...@froot.co.uk wrote:

Hi all, during recent months we've reconsidered all comments which we received from the community about our BIP39 proposal and we tried to meet all requirements for such standard. Specifically the proposal now doesn't require any specific wordlist, so every client can use its very own list of

I remember the wordlist choice getting bikeshedded to death a month ago. I would just include the wordlist as part of the standard (as a recommendation) so that fully compliant implementations can correct a user's typos regardless of the original generator. Those who don't like it will have to

Because the mnemonic is an encoding of a 128-bit random number using its hash as a private key (or derived part of one) is not a problem, its just an alternate alphabet encoding of the random private key. Not being able to generically understand the checksum. Seems tricky to solve other than say
