Same.
And good point about confusion. But because of the randomness, I think there could be a function that hashes and shows you like four words to confirm. It could also be a different word list.
It is just such a source of friction for new users and it seems both really technical and unnecessary. I mean, you KNOW that can't happen if we get to large institutional custodial transfers.
Seedsigner, and some other address tools use a 6 or 8 character hex fingerprint for the seeds. Maybe a fingerprint could be created for an address.
