Hm, I know about the other bit-length's existence, but as you say yourself: they usually aren't used, which is why I chose to leave them out.
Hm, clear, but it's not wrong to leave it in, correct?
Many thanks! 🤠

I skimmed it and it looks good. Here's my short thought,
In practice, most wallet software generate either 128-bit or 256-bit data. But actually you also could use 160, 192 or 224-bit data.
While it's true salting usually used to mitigate precompute attack, IMO there's no need to mention it since,
1. Generating all valid mnemonic words in advance is impossible.
2. Using CSPRNG prevent attacker performing precompute on specific range or values.
and subsequently processes the collected data into a sequence of either 128- or 256-bit segments, comprising entropy.

Salting indicates the addition of salt, or random data such as a passphrase, before iterating the hash function, thereby mitigating precomputed attacks and ensuring uniqueness in hash values.

[Personal] should indicate pretty well who it's aimed for, and why can't you guys simply be supportive for once? It's the technical section, ain't it? Every time all you guys do is throw around with some bips, who, and I've looked at them, are many times more confusing (using key words the average Joe knows jack-shit about) than the document above. No wonder everyone I talk to thinks that you guys are a special kind of idiots.
Edit: confused it with bip 32, to which the above adhered. Bip 39, on the other hand, ONLY specifies the words and what they have to adhere to, so how's that any more helpful than the above?!
I'm done here, you guys seem to enjoy the occasional ordinals-rant along with some cringe (worthless) experiments.

Nonetheless, I'm curious as to what can be tweaked more, please be precise!
who are you trying to write this document for? Section 4 (Mnemonic-to-Seed Conversion) no one is going to really understand how it works just based off of what you have there. They might get an idea of what's going on but that's about it. And I'm not even sure of the need for the previous sections since Bip39 explains it in about the same exact way you did but with a few more details thrown in.

I've finalized my summary about HD-wallet's master seed generation, and would like to hear some input regarding it's contents! I'll most likely continue refinement of the content in the future, but for now, I'd simply like to have the summary reviewed on both chronological- and factual correctness. 🤠
I've spent multiple weeks on reading, gathering, writing and refining the summary, and have reached out to Greg Walker (Learnmeabitcoin.com) to ask if he'd be willing to give my summary an initial review, which he did!
