crypto public address -> mnemonic phrase

  • exploring possibilities to derive mnemonic phrases from 40bit public addresses
  • optimal solution would be 3-4 color-coded adjective/nouns:
    jumping.cardinals excited.rangers wild.safaris

approach:

  • bitcoin bip-0039 wordlist * 10 colors * 900 adjectives = wordlist of 17mil = 7x color/adjective/noun combinations
  • adoption would require industry standard to be formed
  • systematic determination seems very CPU expensive
  • checksum still needed

example

use-cases:

  • payments to parties where proximity to QR codes is not possible (e.g. voice calls)
  • for the unbanked that are less able to afford ENS
  • etherscan, etc would be much easier to read
