I'm 99.99% sure it's a scam. Whenever i click "Generate" button, it always create POST request. While the data itself is either encoded or encrypted, the data is different on each POST request.



Anyway, i'm leaving negative feedback to those users.

And in general, i expect they also use it to generate code which leads to buggy software.
@Charles-Tim Your links are broken or not visible on the forum.
Also note that it uses the name and logo of the OneKey hardware wallet in an attempt to lend credibility to the site:



There is no issues tab on the project's github for users to report possible bugs and vulnerabilities in the code.

Although the description at the bottom of the site states that the code is 100% open source, I'd not use it in any way to generate my mnemonic phrases or restore keys.

The code doesn't add any improvements in relation to iancoleman, it's simply a copy and paste, so i'm not the best person to say that the site is 100% reliable or malicious, but in any case, it's better not to use it in real use cases.

These days I was searching on Google out of curiosity for sites similar to iancoleman, most of them are copies of the same, that is, there are several out there and the chance of them being malicious is 99.9%

This is the most recommended
This is perhaps the most recommended setup to use iancoleman. But, in general, I wouldn't recommend anyone using iancoleman to generate seed phrases, because... JavaScript.

New ideas will be criticized and then admired.

This is the most recommended:

You can download the standalone version of the same tool from the GitHub repository https://github.com/iancoleman/bip39. To use it, download the bip39-standalone.html file from the releases and open it in a browser. You can also compile it from source using the command python compile.py.

Anyone that writes documentation using GPT entirely has no idea what they are doing. It is definitely a scam, don’t even have to visit the site.

Thanks. I guess as much. He even used ChatGPT for it. Although, I do not know but I was thinking the way I tag people these days is getting too much. The reason I decided to ask. Yet it is still a scam.

I saw a post yesterday or a day before which I ignored. I could not find it now. But I saw two posts which looks like it just now. It is in Chinese language and it is about seed phrase converter into necessary information like the private keys and others.

The person copied part of the code of https://iancoleman.io/bip39/ which I noticed from UI. I am guessing the person changed it to Chinese language and maybe included a backdoor that can reveal peoples seed phrase to him so that he can compromise the wallet and steal people's coins.

This are the two posts:
BIP32 Mnemonic Converter
Notes on using BIP32 mnemonics

I would like if anyone can let us know how legit the converter is. I do not think it is even open source.
