Add pending bip39 wordlists from bitcoin/bips #56

Closed iancoleman closed 3 years ago

iancoleman commented 3 years ago

I looked at all the open pull requests in bitcoin/bips for bip39 wordlists.

As said here https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/pull/863#issuecomment-559024471

"Unfortunately, this will get stuck in the same impasse that all other BIP39 wordlists are in, because BIP39's authors have abandoned the BIP"

So I figured they should have a place to live and potentially be included in iancoleman/bip39 tool, since I would like to have these languages but not until they are some place stable.

@p2w34 if this suits we can tag the people in those pending PRs here to maybe get this repo as the place for new wordlists.

My main motivation is to have somewhere stable to link to. Does this repo suit that purpose?

I've gone with a convention of language-N.txt where N is always 2 or more, so that any new official bip39 wordlists can be used without the suffix, and it's clear that no-suffix is different to language-1, ie there is never a list with N=1 since that may be confused with the no-suffix version (if it ever exists).

This, unfortunately, seems to be true. Hence the idea to create this repo.

The only stable list seems to be for sure the English list from official bip0039, and maybe few other lists that got merged into the master.

Go ahead, the idea for this repo is to serve the community. Although I'd like to emphasize this repo has a vision of how the wordlists should be created. Before the work on any given word list starts, the preliminary word list has to be created first. Any help with that would be appreciated. That is the reason I cannot accept any of the lists from the existing PRs in bip0039 (among those lists is also the one I created myself).

Regarding file naming conflicts that might pop up - wlip-0002 solves that.

I think the comment above should suffice as an answer - hence closing this PR.
