Wen codex32? #129

Open seedhammer opened 7 months ago

seedhammer commented 7 months ago

We're planning a product for generating seeds by manual entropy, and for that purpose the small 32 character alphabet of codex32 is a much better fit than the 2048 alphabet of BIP39, on top of the other advantages of codex32.

To kick off codex32 adoption, the Jade seems like the ideal trailblazer: both it and codex32 are from Blockstream. So, as the issue title asks, is codex32 planned for Jade? If not, is there anything we can do to help?

I'm writing an example implementation for electronic codex32 share set generation for my project github.com/benwestgate/bails that will help. I also have written a CodexQR specification that allows encoding codex32 shares in 21x21 QR codes like CompactSeedQR.

I'm not sure why Jade doesn't have a codex32 PR yet, we finished the codex32 import document a year ago. They probably want both creation and import specified before doing it.
