Implement legacy Electrum mnemonic support #2

Closed harningt closed 10 years ago

harningt commented 10 years ago

The legacy mnemonic system for Electrum used a bidirectional mechanism by which you could go from a seed value to a word list and back.

This requires no additional data to go from entropy to mnemonic to seed.

The dictionary and algorithm are from the Electrum client.
