Do you think a 24-word list is a way better to store/transmit your private key than our current nsec1... code?
Pros:
1. It's easier to copy a word list from a phone to a computer by hand.
2. Currently understood as a "private"/"don't let other people see it" thing
Cons:
1. Confusion with other word lists?
2. Too long?
12 BIP-39 words is all you need. 24 words doesn't add any extra security.

You can't represent an nsec directly (32 bytes) without 24 words.
Sufficiently secure workaround is to take the sha256sum of the 12 word entropy.
I think that's how it's done in BIP39.
