Custom wordlists

Open iancoleman opened this issue 4 years ago • 1 comments

It seems many wordlists are not being accepted into the bip39 standard.

See https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/pull/863#issuecomment-559024471

An option, albeit quite dangerous to end users, would be to allow custom wordlists.

This to me would include two new features

  • a list of links to unofficial wordlists. This would be a link to a copy/paste version of the list, and a second link explaining the reasoning behind the wordchoices (eg a conversation in a github issue or PR).
  • a textarea to load a custom wordlist. This means users can load any list of 2048 words, which is extremely dangerous, and it relies on copy paste, which also seems dangerous.

I'll leave this issue here to funnel discussion when wordlists comes up. I think this potential feature is too easy for users to create mistakes, but I'm open to making this tool easier for other languages.
