BIP-39 versus SLIP-39 Seed Source - Does not generate different headers in the Shamir cards?

Open NorthStarSurfer9845 opened this issue 3 months ago • 0 comments

In the tool I can choose "Seed Source", e.g., BIP-39 or SLIP-39.

Obviously, the tool generates different Shamir cards with different word lists. In the BIP-39 case from the BIP-39 word list (2048) in the SLIP-39 case from the DIFFERENT SLIP-39 list (1024 words).

HOWEVER, the header of the cards is always "SLIP39", INDEPENDENT whether I choose BIP-39 or SLIP-39.

So later I will not know any more what was the right setting to recover?

p.s.: I am new in the field so sorry if I did not fully get it.
