Topic: Create a bip39 seed manually as it says Antonopoulos in "Mastering Bitcoin" (Read 286 times)

I imagined something like that.
Thanks 

You'll notice the numbers are out by "1"...

It's because in binary, the index numbers that are possible for an 11 bit sequence are actually 0-2047 (00000000000 to 11111111111)... but in the wordlist shown on github... the "index" numbers are displayed as 1-2048... simply because most people count from 1.

So... to get from your calculated decimal value to the "correct" value in the github wordlist... you will need to add 1.

00100000010 -> 258 -> +1 -> github index: 259 -> cake

Likewise, when going from the github wordlist index... back to binary, you need to subtract 1... then convert that decimal number to binary...

cake -> github index: 259 -> -1 -> 258 -> 00100000010

Hi

I don´t want any utility or program computer. If that were the case, I would not need it either, since I have both Trezor and Ledger and also this handy link:
https://iancoleman.io/bip39/


I did not know this page but basically it's the same information that I contribute in the image


Anyway, thanks to both of you  


What I want is to know the doubts that are generated when applying these steps

EXAMPLE:

Table 4-7: 256-bit entropy mnemonic code and resulting seed
Entropy input (256 bits):  2041546864449caff939d32d574753fe684d3c947c3346713dd8423e74abcf8c
Mnemonic (24 words): cake apple borrow silk endorse fitness top denial coil riot stay wolf luggage oxygen faint major edit measure invite love trap field dilemma oblige
Seed (512 bits): 3972e432e99040f75ebe13a660110c3e29d131a2c808c7ee5f1631d0a977fcf473bee22fce540af 281bf7cdeade0dd2c1c795bd02f1e4049e205a0158906c343

ENT = 256 bits
CS = 8 bits
ENT + CS = 264 bits
MS = 24 bits



Step 1: Create a random sequence (entropy) of 128 to 256 bits.

Random secuence or entropy input (256 bits)

binary format (I can get it fliping a coin)
0010000001000001010101000110100001100100010001001001110010101111111110010011100 1110100110010110101010111010001110101001111111110011010000100110100111100100101 0001111100001100110100011001110001001111011101100001000010001111100111010010101 0111100111110001100
(in this case I have used  the example's value and I have converted it to binary)

Same entropy input (256 bits) hexadecimal format:
2041546864449caff939d32d574753fe684d3c947c3346713dd8423e74abcf8c



Step 2: Create a checksum of the random sequence by taking the first few bits of its SHA256 hash

Doubt: I don't know how to get the cheksum

SHA256 of what? I must apply SHA256 to entropy input in binary format or hexadecimal format? If hexadecimal, in uppercase or lowercase? The results are different
If the case, convert the result, whatever it is, to binary format to obtain the first 8 digits in 0 and 1?
I don't know how to get it, but as the last word is oblige so we know that the result is: 11000001



Step 3: Add the checksum to the end of the random sequence.

random sequence  +  checksum
0010000001000001010101000110100001100100010001001001110010101111111110010011100 1110100110010110101010111010001110101001111111110011010000100110100111100100101 0001111100001100110100011001110001001111011101100001000010001111100111010010101 0111100111110001100    +    11000001


Step 4: Divide the sequence into sections of 11 bits, using those to index a dictionary of 2048 predefined words.

binary        decimal      seed           nº in wordlist
              (0,1,2,...)                 (1,2.3,...)

00100000010   258          cake           259

Thanks very much  
    

What steps have you run and where isn’t it matching is probably a good place to start.

The others don’t seem to have noticed you referenced the book and sent an image through of it.

You can try with the easyseed(1) utility that nullius created. Maybe that can help you further.

Hi guys  ,

I am trying to create a bip39 Mnemonic Code Words (seed) manually as explained by Antonolopulos in his book "Mastering Bitcoin" but I do not get the same results in the examples given.

Could someone from the forum explain it with more detailed steps?

Thank you
