Thanks! Hope you enjoyed it
Thanks!
And no - you can use a dice to generate the first 128/192/256 bits of randomness, but the final 4 / 6 / 8 bits which are appended to the end are generated based on the hash of the dice-based randomness you generated. Note that those 4/6/8 bits (i.e. the checksum) take it to 132 / 198 / 264 bits in total - always a multiple of 11. That's because each 11 bits of data encodes a word. So the final word in any valid mnemonic will be determined in part by the hash of the previous words.
I've tried to visualise this in the 'Fingerprinting entropy' section. It's definitely a tricky one!
Thanks Alex! That's great to hear. Your site's awesome btw, just spent a while digging through your charts :D
I'm thinking of doing a tutorial showing how to accept on-chain payments while preserving privacy, i.e. without exposing the same receiving address to everyone. Reckon that would be useful to people?
Blink wallet supports LNURLp, so yes. This solution should work with pretty much all modern wallets inc Zeus, Breez, etc. Full list of wallets supporting LNURLp available from @DarthCoin: https://darth-coin.github.io/wallets/lightning-wallets-comparison-en.html
