Ah, yep, I can definitely get behind that. I had thought the plan was to have `ms321` which would have one *too many* characters, and that would be a problem.
Can this be closed now?
Between the two of those I like the first one, because it's more flexible and because it doesn't waste space on levels that aren't used, if they're not used. In...
I agree, and may do this in practice if I'm sending shares to people who are familiar with the scheme and its algebra. But using 2-of-2 has the following advantages:...
Hah! To fill in some details, and check my understanding... * `ms` turns into `PRRQDN` where the `P` comes from the initial monomial term in the checksum algorithm and the...
I think we can't craft such a string without knowing the exact length of the full string. (Basically, inserting this string would shift the HRP and leading 1 from being...
> One variation is to begin with `msg1...` where `` is a digit representing the threshold of the subshare and `` in the index of the subshare, and a checksum...
To be clear -- to do second-level sharing in this scheme, you will need to add (at most 15 characters to the start during the checksum worksheet (which we can...
The issue I see with that is that if I've got share `A` of a secret, and I want to further split that, then the prefix I want is `...SSSA`...
So, the 14-character prefix `4YNKJQYY96S3WS` has partial residue `QQQQQQQPRRQDN`, and ends in `S`, as desired. I can similarly get a 15-character prefix which ends in `SS`, a 16-character prefix which...
