I love BIP 93, with its ability to store any secrets with super-high redundancy and natively handle multiple shares by hand.
But I also love BIP 39 for the simplicity of 12 words, and the universality of the standard.
I want a word scheme for BIP 93. It would be 20-23 words(depending on what scheme is used), but highly redundant. You could recover with 3 or 4 unknown words.
Ideally the word list would avoid near-miss words, and be distinct from BIP-39 enough that it would likely be distinguishable, rather than relying on the strange number of words.
Should this exist?
