Creating Ethereum, Bitcoin and other accounts is complex and fraught
with potential for loss of funds.

A BIP-39 seed recovery phrase helps, but a *single* lapse in security
dooms the account (and all derived accounts, in fact).  If someone finds
your recovery phrase (or you lose it), the accounts derived from that
seed are /gone/.

The SLIP-39 standard allows you to split the seed between 1, 2, or more
groups of several mnemonic recovery phrases.  This is better, but
creating such accounts is difficult; presently, only the Trezor supports
these, and they can only be created "manually".  Writing down 5 or more
sets of 20 words is difficult, error-prone and time consuming.

The [python-slip39] project (and the [SLIP-39 macOS App]) exists to
assist in the safe creation and documentation of [Ethereum HD Wallet]
seeds and derived accounts, with various SLIP-39 sharing parameters.  It
generates the new random wallet seed, and generates the expected
standard Ethereum account(s) (at [derivation path] `m/44'/60'/0'/0/0' by
default) and Bitcoin accounts (at Bech32 derivation path
`m/84'/0'/0'/0/0' by default), with wallet address and QR code
(compatible with Trezor derivations).  It produces the required SLIP-39
phrases, and outputs a single PDF containing all the required printable
cards to document the seed (and the specified derived accounts).

Output of BIP-38 or JSON encrypted Paper Wallets is supported, for
import into standard software cryptocurrency wallets.

On an secure (ideally air-gapped) computer, new seeds can safely be
generated and the PDF saved to a USB drive for printing (or directly
printed without the file being saved to disk.).  Presently, `slip39' can
output example ETH, BTC, LTC and DOGE addresses derived from the seed,
to illustrate what accounts are associated with the backed-up seed.
Recovery of the seed to a Trezor is simple, by entering the mnemonics
right on the device.

1 Security with Availability
════════════════════════════

  For both BIP-39 and SLIP-39, a 128-bit random "seed" is the source of
  an unlimited sequence of Ethereum and Bitcoin HD (Heirarchical
  Deterministic) derived Wallet accounts.  Anyone who can obtain this
  seed gains control of all Ethereum, Bitcoin (and other) accounts
  derived from it, so it must be securely stored.

  Losing this seed means that all of the HD Wallet accounts are
  permanently lost.  It must be /both/ backed up securely, /and/ be
  readily accessible.

  Therefore, we must:

  • Ensure that nobody untrustworthy can recover the seed, but
  • Store the seed in many places, probably with several (some perhaps
    untrustworthy) people.

  How can we address these conflicting requirements?


1.1 Shamir's Secret Sharing System (SSSS)
─────────────────────────────────────────

  [Satoshi Lab's (Trezor) SLIP-39] uses SSSS to distribute the ability
  to recover the key to 1 or more "groups".  Collecting the mnemonics
  from the required number of groups allows recovery of the seed.  For
  BIP-39, the number of groups is always 1, and the number of mnemonics
  required for that group is always 1.

  For SLIP-39, a "group_threshold" of how many groups must bet
  successfully collected to recover the key.  Then key is (conceptually)
  split between 1 or more groups (not really; each group's data alone
  gives away no information about the key).

  For example, you might have First, Second, Fam and Frens groups, and
  decide that any 2 groups can be combined to recover the key.  Each
  group has members with varying levels of trust and persistence, so
  have different number of Members, and differing numbers Required to
  recover that group's data:

  ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
   Group   Required     Members  Description                           
  ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
   First          1  /  1        Stored at home                        
   Second         1  /  1        Stored in office safe                 
   Fam            2  /  4        Distributed to family members         
   Frens          3  /  6        Distributed to friends and associates 
  ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
  The account owner might store their First and Second group data in
  their home and office safes.  These are 1/1 groups (1 required, and
  only 1 member, so each of these are3 1-card groups.)

  If the account needs to be recovered, collecting the First and Second
  cards from the home and office safe is sufficient to recover the seed,
  and re-generate the HD Wallet accounts.

  Only 2 Fam member's cards must be collected to recover the Fam group's
  data.  So, if the HD Wallet owner loses their home and First group
  card in a fire, they could get the Second group card from the office
  safe, and 2 cards from Fam group members, and recover the wallet.

  If catastrophe strikes and the owner dies, and the heirs don't have
  access to either the First (at home) or Second (at the office), they
  can collect 2 Fam cards and 3 Frens cards (at the funeral, for
  example), completing the Fam and Frens groups' data, and recover the
  HD Wallet account.  Since Frens are less likely to persist long term
  (and are also less likely to know each-other), we'll require a lower
  proportion of them to be collected.

2 SLIP-39 Account Creation, Recovery and Address Generation
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════

  Generating a new SLIP-39 encoded seed is easy, with results available
  as PDF and text.  Any number of accounts can be generated from this
  seed, and it can be recovered by collecting the desired groups of
  recover card phrases.  The default recovery groups are as described
  above.


2.1 Creating New SLIP-39 Recoverable Seeds
──────────────────────────────────────────

  This is what the first page of the output SLIP-39 mnemonic cards PDF
  looks like:

  <./images/slip39-cards.png>

  Run the following to obtain a PDF file containing index cards with the
  default SLIP-39 groups for a new account seed named "Personal"; insert
  a USB drive to collect the output, and run:

  ┌────
  │    $ python3 -m pip install slip39        # Install slip39 in Python3
  │    $ cd /Volumes/USBDRIVE/                # Change current directory to USB
  │    $ python3 -m slip39 Personal           # Or just run "slip39 Personal"
  │    2021-12-25 11:10:38 slip39           ETH m/44'/60'/0'/0/0    : 0xb44A2011A99596671d5952CdC22816089f142FB3
  │    2021-12-25 11:10:38 slip39           Wrote SLIP-39-encoded wallet for 'Personal' to:\
  │      Personal-2021-12-22+15.45.36-0xb44A2011A99596671d5952CdC22816089f142FB3.pdf
  └────
  The resultant PDF will be output into the designated file.

  This PDF file can be printed on 3x5 index cards, or on regular paper
  or card stock and the cards can be cut out (`--card credit' ,
  `business', `half' (page) and `third' (page) are also available, as
  well as custom `"(<h>,<w>),<margin>"').

  To get the data printed on the terminal as in this example (so you
  could write it down on cards instead), add a `-v' (to see it logged in
  a tabular format), or `--text' to have it printed to stdout in full
  lines (ie. for pipelining to other programs).


2.1.1 Paper Wallets
╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌

  The Trezor hardware wallet natively supports the input of SLIP-39
  Mnemonics.  However, most software wallets do not (yet) support
  SLIP-39.  So, how do we load the Crypto wallets produced from our Seed
  into software wallets such as the Metamask plugin or the Brave
  browser, for example?

  The `slip39.gui' (and the macOS SLIP-39.App) support output of
  standard BIP-38 encrypted wallets for Bitcoin-like cryptocurrencies
  such as BTC, LTC and DOGE.  It also outputs encrypted Ethereum JSON
  wallets for ETH.  Here is how to produce them (from a test secret
  Seed; exclude `--secret ffff...' for yours!):

  ┌────
  │     $ slip39 -c ETH -c BTC -c DOGE -c LTC --secret ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff \
  │         --wallet password --wallet-hint 'bad:pass...'
  └────
  And what they look like:

  <./images/slip39-wallets.png>


2.2 The macOS `SLIP-39.app' GUI App
───────────────────────────────────

  If you prefer a graphical user-interface, try the macOS SLIP-39.App.
  You can run it directly if you install Python 3.9+ from
  [python.org/downloads] or using homebrew `brew install
  python-tk@3.10'.  Then, start the GUI in a variety of ways:

  ┌────
  │    slip39-gui
  │    python3 -m slip39.gui
  └────
  Alternatively, download and install the macOS GUI App .zip, .pkg or
  .dmg installer from [github.com/pjkundert/python-slip-39/releases].

2.3 The Python `slip39' CLI
───────────────────────────

  From the command line, you can create SLIP-39 seed Mnemonic card PDFs.

2.4 Recovery & Re-Creation
──────────────────────────

  Later, if you need to recover the wallet seed, keep entering SLIP-39
  mnemonics into `slip39-recovery' until the secret is recovered
  (invalid/duplicate mnemonics will be ignored):

  ┌────
  │   $ python3 -m slip39.recovery   # (or just "slip39-recovery")
  │   Enter 1st SLIP-39 mnemonic: ab c
  │   Enter 2nd SLIP-39 mnemonic: veteran guilt acrobat romp burden campus purple webcam uncover ...
  │   Enter 3rd SLIP-39 mnemonic: veteran guilt acrobat romp burden campus purple webcam uncover ...
  │   Enter 4th SLIP-39 mnemonic: veteran guilt beard romp dragon island merit burden aluminum worthy ...
  │   2021-12-25 11:03:33 slip39.recovery  Recovered SLIP-39 secret; Use:  python3 -m slip39 --secret ...
  │   383597fd63547e7c9525575decd413f7
  └────
  Finally, re-create the wallet seed, perhaps including an encrypted
  JSON wallet file for import of some accounts into a software wallet:

  ┌────
  │   slip39 --secret 383597fd63547e7c9525575decd413f7 --json password 2>&1

  │ 
  │ BIP-39 wallets can be backed up as SLIP-39 wallets, but only at the cost of 59-word SLIP-39
  │ mnemonics.  This is because the *output* 512-bit BIP-39 seed must be stored in SLIP-39 -- not the
  │ *input* 128-, 160-, 192-, 224-, or 256-bit entropy used to create the original BIP-39 mnemonic
  │ phrase.

2.4.2 Pipelining `slip39.recovery | slip39 --secret -'
╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌

  The tools can be used in a pipeline to avoid printing the secret.
  Here we generate some mnemonics, sorting them in reverse order so we
  need more than just the first couple to recover.  Observe the Ethereum
  wallet address generated.

  Then, we recover the master secret seed in hex with `slip39-recovery',
  and finally send it to `slip39 --secret -' to re-generate the same
  wallet as we originally created.

2.5 Generation of Addresses
───────────────────────────

  For systems that require a stream of groups of wallet Addresses
  (eg. for preparing invoices for clients, with a choice of
  cryptocurrency payment options), `slip-generator' can produce a stream
  of groups of addresses.

  │   --receive             Receive a stream of slip.generator output
  │   --corrupt CORRUPT     Corrupt a percentage of output symbols
  │ 
  │ Once you have a secret seed (eg. from slip39.recovery), you can generate a sequence
  │ of HD wallet addresses from it.  Emits rows in the form:
  │ 
  │     <enumeration> [<address group(s)>]
  │ 
  │ If the output is to be transmitted by an insecure channel (eg. a serial port), which may insert
  │ errors or allow leakage, it is recommended that the records be encrypted with a cryptographic
  │ function that includes a message authentication code.  We use ChaCha20Poly1305 with a password and a
  │ random nonce generated at program start time.  This nonce is incremented for each record output.
  │ 
  │ Since the receiver requires the nonce to decrypt, and we do not want to separately transmit the
  │ nonce and supply it to the receiver, the first record emitted when --encrypt is specified is the
  │ random nonce, encrypted with the password, itself with a known nonce of all 0 bytes.  The plaintext
  │ data is random, while the nonce is not, but since this construction is only used once, it should be
  │ satisfactory.  This first nonce record is transmitted with an enumeration prefix of "nonce".

  Addresses can be produced in plaintext or encrypted, and output to
  stdout or to a serial port.

  To produce accounts from a BIP-39 or SLIP-39 seed, recover it using
  slip39-recovery.

  Here's an example of recovering a test BIP-39 seed; note that it
  yields the well-known ETH `0xfc20...1B5E' and BTC `bc1qk0...gnn2'
  accounts associated with this test Mnemonic:

2.6.4 `slip39.recover'
╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌

  Takes a number of SLIP-39 mnemonics, and if sufficient
  `group_threshold' groups' mnemonics are present (and the options
  `passphrase' is supplied), the `master_secret' is recovered.  This can
  be used with `slip39.accounts' to directly obtain any `Account' data.

  Note that the passphrase is *not* checked; entering a different
  passphrase for the same set of mnemonics will recover a *different*
  wallet!  This is by design; it allows the holder of the SLIP-39
  mnemonic phrases to recover a "decoy" wallet by supplying a specific
  passphrase, while protecting the "primary" wallet.

  Therefore, it is *essential* to remember any non-default (empty)
  passphrase used, separately and securely.  Take great care in deciding
  if you wish to use a passphrase with your SLIP-39 wallet!

3 Conversion from BIP-39 to SLIP-39
═══════════════════════════════════

  If we already have a BIP-39 wallet, it would certainly be nice to be
  able to create nice, safe SLIP-39 mnemonics for it, and discard the
  unsafe BIP-39 mnemonics we have lying around, just waiting to be
  accidentally discovered and the account compromised!


3.1 BIP-39 vs. SLIP-39 Incompatibility
──────────────────────────────────────

  Unfortunately, it is *not possible* to cleanly convert a BIP-39
  derived wallet into a SLIP-39 wallet.  Both of these techniques
  preserve "entropy" (random) bits, but these bits are used
  *differently* – and incompatibly – to derive the resultant Ethereum
  wallets.

  The best we can do is to preserve the 512-bit *output* of the BIP-39
  mnemonic phrase as a set of 512-bit SLIP-39 mnemonics.


3.1.1 BIP-39 Entropy to Mnemonic
╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌

  BIP-39 uses a single set of 12, 15, 18, 21 or 24 BIP-39 words to
  carefully preserve a specific 128 to 256 bits of initial entropy.
  Here's a 128-bit (12-word) example using some fixed "entropy"
  `0xFFFF..FFFF':

  ┌────
  │     from mnemonic import Mnemonic
  │     bip39_english       = Mnemonic("english")
  │     entropy             = b'\xFF' * 16
  │     entropy_mnemonic    = bip39_english.to_mnemonic( entropy )
  │     [
  │      [ entropy_mnemonic ]
  │     ]
  └────

  ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
                                                   0 
  ───────────────────────────────────────────────────
   zoo zoo zoo zoo zoo zoo zoo zoo zoo zoo zoo wrong 
  ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

  Each word is one of a corpus of 2048 words; therefore, each word
      encodes 11 bits (2048 `= 2**11) of entropy.  So, we provided 128
      bits, but 12*11 =' 132.  So where does the extra 4 bits of data
      come from?

  It comes from the first few bits of a SHA256 hash of the entropy,
  which is added to the end of the supplied 128 bits, to reach the
  required 132 bits: 132 / 11 == 12 words.

  This last 4 bits (up to 8 bits, for a 256-bit 24-word BIP-39) is
  checked, when validating the BIP-39 mnemonic.  Therefore, making up a
  random BIP-39 mnemonic will succeed only 1 / 16 times on average, due
  to an incorrect checksum 4-bit (16 == 2**4) .  Lets check:

  ┌────
  │     def random_words( n, count=100 ):
  │         for _ in range( count ):
  │             yield ' '.join( random.choice( bip39_english.wordlist ) for _ in range( n ))
  │ 
  │     successes           = sum(
  │         bip39_english.check( m )
  │         for i,m in enumerate( random_words( 12, 10000 ))) / 100
  │ 
  │     [[ f"Valid random 12-word mnemonics:" ]] + [
  │      [ f"{successes}%" ]] + [
  │      [ f"~ 1/{100/successes:.3}" ]]
  └────

  ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
                                 0 
  ─────────────────────────────────
   Valid random 12-word mnemonics: 
                             6.08% 
                          ~ 1/16.4 
  ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

  Sure enough, about 1/16 random 12-word phrases are valid BIP-39
  mnemonics.  OK, we've got the contents of the BIP-39 phrase dialed in.
  How is it used to generate accounts?


3.1.2 BIP-39 Mnemonic to Seed
╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌

  Unfortunately, we do *not* use the carefully preserved 128-bit entropy
  to generate the wallet!  Nope, it is stretched to a 512-bit seed using
  PBKDF2 HMAC SHA512.  The normalized *text* (/not the entropy bytes/)
  of the 12-word mnemonic is then used (with a salt of "mnemonic" plus
  an optional passphrase, "" by default), to obtain the seed:

  ┌────
  │     seed                = bip39_english.to_seed( entropy_mnemonic )
  │     seedhex             = codecs.encode( seed, 'hex_codec' ).decode( 'ascii' )
  │     [
  │      [ f"{len(seed)*8}-bit seed:" ]] + [
  │      [ f"{seedhex[b*32:b*32+32]}" ]
  │      for b in range( len( seedhex ) // 32 )
  │     ]

  ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━


3.1.3 BIP-39 Seed to Address
╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌

  Finally, this 512-bit seed is used to derive HD wallet(s).  The HD
  Wallet key derivation process consumes whatever seed entropy is
  provided (512 bits in the case of BIP-39), and uses HMAC SHA512 with a
  prefix of b"Bitcoin seed" to stretch the supplied seed entropy to 64
  bytes (512 bits).  Then, the HD Wallet *path* segments are iterated
  through, permuting the first 32 bytes of this material as the key with
  the second 32 bytes of material as the chain node, until finally the
  32-byte (256-bit) Ethereum account private key is produced.  We then
  use this private key to compute the rest of the Ethereum account
  details, such as its public address.

  ┌────
  │     path                = "m/44'/60'/0'/0/0"
  │     eth_hd		= slip39.account( seed, 'ETH', path )
  │     [
  │      [ f"{len(eth_hd.key)*4}-bit derived key at path {path!r}:" ]] + [
  │      [ f"{eth_hd.key}" ]] + [
  │      [ "... yields ..." ]] + [
  │      [ f"Ethereum address: {eth_hd.address}" ]
  │     ]
  └────

  ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
   0                                                                
  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
   256-bit derived key at path "m/44'/60'/0'/0/0":                  
   7af65ba4dd53f23495dcb04995e96f47c243217fc279f10795871b725cd009ae 
   … yields …                                                       
   Ethereum address: 0xfc2077CA7F403cBECA41B1B0F62D91B5EA631B5E     
  ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

  Thus, we see that while the 12-word BIP-39 mnemonic careful preserves
  the original 128-bit entropy, this data is not directly used to derive
  the wallet private key and address.  Also, since an irreversible hash
  is used to derive the seed from the mnemonic, we can't reverse the
  process on the seed to arrive back at the BIP-39 mnemonic phrase.


3.1.4 SLIP-39 Entropy to Mnemonic
╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌

  Just like BIP-39 carefully preserves the original 128-bit entropy
  bytes in a single 12-word mnemonic phrase, SLIP-39 preserves the
  original 128-bit entropy in a /set/ of 30-word mnemonic phrases.

  ┌────
  │     name,thrs,grps,acct = slip39.create(
  │         "Test", 2, { "Mine": (1,1), "Fam": (2,3) }, entropy )
  │     [
  │      [ f"{g_name}({g_of}/{len(g_mnems)}) #{g_n+1}:" if l_n == 0 else "" ] + words
  │      for g_name,(g_of,g_mnems) in grps.items()
  │      for g_n,mnem in enumerate( g_mnems )
  │      for l_n,(line,words) in enumerate(slip39.organize_mnemonic(
  │              mnem, rows=7, cols=3, label=f"{g_name}({g_of}/{len(g_mnems)}) #{g_n+1}:" ))
  │     ]

3.1.5 SLIP-39 Mnemonic to Seed
╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌

  Lets prove that we can actually recover the *original* entropy from
  the SLIP-39 recovery mnemonics; in this case, we've specified a
  SLIP-39 group_threshold of 2 groups, so we'll use 1 mnemonic from
  Mine, and 2 from Fam:

  ┌────
  │     _,mnem_mine         = grps['Mine']
  │     _,mnem_fam          = grps['Fam']
  │     recseed             = slip39.recover( mnem_mine + mnem_fam[:2] )
  │     recseedhex          = codecs.encode( recseed, 'hex_codec' ).decode( 'ascii' )
  │     [
  │      [ f"{len(recseed)*8}-bit seed:" ]
  │     ] + [
  │      [ f"{recseedhex[b*32:b*32+32]}" ]
  │         for b in range( len( recseedhex ) // 32 )
  │     ]

  ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━


3.1.6 SLIP-39 Seed to Address
╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌

  And we'll use the same style of code as for the BIP-39 example above,
  to derive the Ethereum address *directly* from this recovered 128-bit
  seed:

  ┌────
  │     receth		= slip39.account( recseed, 'ETH', path )
  │     [
  │      [ f"{len(receth.key)*4}-bit derived key at path {path!r}:" ]] + [
  │      [ f"{receth.key}" ]] + [
  │      [ "... yields ..." ]] + [
  │      [ f"Ethereum address: {receth.address}" ]
  │     ]
  └────

  ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
   0

   Ethereum address: 0x824b174803e688dE39aF5B3D7Cd39bE6515A19a1     
  ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

  And we see that we obtain the same Ethereum address `0x824b..1a2b' as
  we originally got from `slip39.create' above.  However, this is *not*
  the Ethereum wallet address obtained from BIP-39 with exactly the same
  `0xFFFF...FF' entropy, which was `0xfc20..1B5E'.  This is due to the
  fact that BIP-39 does not use the recovered entropy to produce the
  seed like SLIP-39 does, but applies additional one-way hashing of the
  mnemonic to produce the seed.


3.2 BIP-39 vs SLIP-39 Key Derivation Summary
────────────────────────────────────────────

  At no time in BIP-39 account derivation is the original 128-bit
  mnemonic entropy used directly in the derivation of the wallet key.
  This differs from SLIP-39, which directly uses the 128-bit mnemonic
  entropy recovered from the SLIP-39 Shamir's Secret Sharing System
  recovery process to generate each HD Wallet account's private key.

  Furthermore, there is no point in the BIP-39 entropy to account
  generation where we *could* introduce a known 128-bit seed and produce
  a known Ethereum wallet from it, other than as the very beginning.


3.2.1 BIP-39 Backup via SLIP-39
╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌

  There is one approach which can preserve an original BIP-39 wallet
  address, using SLIP-39 mnemonics.

  It is clumsy, as it preserves the BIP-39 *output* 512-bit stretched
  seed, and the resultant 59-word SLIP-39 mnemonics cannot be used (at
  present) with the Trezor hardware wallet.  They can, however, be used
  to recover the HD wallet private keys without access to the original
  BIP-39 mnemonic phrase – you could generate and distribute a set of
  more secure SLIP-39 mnemonic phrases, instead of trying to secure the
  original BIP-39 mnemonic.

  We'll use `slip39.recovery --bip39 ...' to recover the 512-bit
  stretched seed from BIP-39:

  ┌────
  │    ( python3 -m slip39.recovery --bip39 \
  │        --mnemonic "zoo zoo zoo zoo zoo zoo zoo zoo zoo zoo zoo wrong" 
  │    ) 2>&1
  └────
  ┌────
  │ 2022-03-04 09:44:44 slip39.recovery  Recovered 512-bit BIP-39 secret from english mnemonic

  └────

  Then we can generate a 59-word SLIP-39 mnemonic set from the 512-bit
  secret:

  ┌────
  │    ( python3 -m slip39.recovery --bip39 \
  │        --mnemonic "zoo zoo zoo zoo zoo zoo zoo zoo zoo zoo zoo wrong" \

  This `0xfc20..1B5E' address is the same Ethereum address as is
  recovered on a Trezor using this BIP-39 mnemonic phrase.


4 Building & Installing
═══════════════════════

  The `python-slip39' project is tested under both homebrew:
  ┌────
  │ $ brew install python-tk@3.9
  └────

  and using [the official python.org/downloads installer].

  Either of these methods will get you a `python3' executable running
  version 3.9+, usable for running the `slip39' module, and the
  `slip39.gui' GUI.


[the official python.org/downloads installer]
<https://www.python.org/downloads/>

4.1 The `slip39' Module
───────────────────────

  To build the wheel and install `slip39' manually:
  ┌────
  │ $ git clone git@github.com:pjkundert/python-slip39.git
  │ $ make -C python-slip39 install
  └────


  To install from Pypi, including the optional requirements to run the
  PySimpleGUI/tkinter GUI, support serial I/O, and to support creating
  encrypted Ethereum JSON wallets:
  ┌────
  │ $ python3 -m pip install slip39[gui,serial,json]
  └────


4.2 The `slip39' GUI
────────────────────

  To install from Pypi, including the optional requirements to run the
  PySimpleGUI/tkinter GUI:
  ┌────
  │ $ python3 -m pip install slip39[gui]
  └────


  Then, there are several ways to run the GUI:
  ┌────
  │ $ python3 -m slip39.gui     # Execute the python slip39.gui module main method
  │ $ slip39-gui                # Run the main function provided by the slip39.gui module
  └────


4.2.1 The macOS `SLIP-39.app' GUI
╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌

  You can build the native macOS `SLIP-39.app' App.

  This requires the official [python.org/downloads] installer; the
  homebrew python-tk@3.9 will not work for building the native app using
  either `PyInstaller'. (The `py2app' approach doesn't work in either
  version of Python).

  ┌────
  │ $ git clone git@github.com:pjkundert/python-slip39.git
  │ $ make -C python-slip39 app
  └────

4.2.2 The Windows 10 `SLIP-39' GUI
╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌

  Install Python from <https://python.org/downloads>, and the [Microsoft
  C++ Build Tools] via the Visual Studio Installer (required for
  installing some `slip39' package dependencies).

  To run the GUI, just install `slip39' package from Pypi using pip,
  including the `gui' and `wallet' options.  Building the Windows
  `SLIP-39' executable GUI application requires the `dev' option.
  ┌────
  │ PS C:\Users\IEUser> pip install slip39[gui,wallet,dev]
  └────


  To work with the [python-slip39 Git repo on Github], you'll also need
  to install [Git from git-scm.com]. Once installed, run "Git bash", and
  ┌────
  │ $ ssh-keygen.exe -t ed25519
  └────

  to create an `id_ed25519.pub' SSH identity, and import it into your
  Git Settings SSH keys.  Then,
  ┌────
  │ $ mkdir src
  │ $ cd src
  │ $ git clone git@github.com:pjkundert/python-slip39.git
  └────

5 Dependencies
══════════════

  Internally, python-slip39 project uses Trezor's
  [python-shamir-mnemonic] to encode the seed data to SLIP-39 phrases,
  [python-hdwallet] to convert seeds to ETH, BTC, LTC and DOGE wallets,
  and the Ethereum project's [eth-account] to produce encrypted JSON
  wallets for specified Ethereum accounts.
