They are both the same.

How did you produce it in Ian Coleman's site? When I enter the entropy that you mention it produces a different seed phrase... Perhaps I am doing something wrong, that's why I ask.

EDIT:

I have been using the "12 word seed length" from the dropdown. If I enter the "use raw entropy (3 words per 32 bits)", it produces a valid seed phrase.

Sorry for that, I thought it was the same, because I want a 12 word seed phrase...

Hello, I am not entirely sure if this is the right place to post it.

I have noticed an issue (inconsistency), in BIP39 mnemonic generation, between Ian Coleman's website and LearnMeABitcoin

I have tried to generate a mnemonic, by feeding these websites with my own entropy (in binary format). They produce different mnemonics.
In Ian Coleman's website I made sure to select a 12 word length mnemonic.

So, naturally, I wanted to try and find out what is wrong...

I generated the following entropy:
Code:
10010100101010110101111110001011000101000011110111100011101111000001011110010101101011010000011000011111111011110010000000111001

This entropy provided the following mnemonics:
Ian Coleman's website:
Code:
steel tiny neither hospital waste off essence cruise leaf antenna dawn bracket
LearnMeABitcoin:
Code:
net foot tissue chronic taste task furnace remember alcohol youth siege indoor

Unless I am missing something here, do you have any thoughts?
