We're experimenting with short videos explaining Bitcoin technical topics!
Our first one covers how to generate a Mnemonic phrase.
Check it out & let us know what you think! Should we make more? 👀
Note: This video doesn’t have a voice-over yet—we’re testing the format first!

You add one bit of checksum for every 32 bits of entropy.
This way the sum of bits will always be a multiple of 11:
  • with an entropy of 128 bits (4 x 32) you add 4 bits of entropy = 132 bits (12 x 11)
  • with an entropy of 160 bits (5 x 32) you add 5 bits of entropy = 165 bits (15 x 11)
  • with an entropy of 192 bits (6 x 32) you add 6 bits of entropy = 198 bits (18 x 11)
  • with an entropy of 224 bits (7 x 32) you add 7 bits of entropy = 231 bits (21 x 11)
  • with an entropy of 256 bits (8 x 32) you add 8 bits of entropy = 264 bits (24 x 11)

YES!
This was beautiful... esp how those strings of 1s and 0s turn into word.

I think it is better without a voice over, very easy to understand! Great video :)

Very interesting.
I'm not a native English speaker, for me the video was a little bit too fast.
