Reminds me of product CD keys 😂
I don't hate it, but seed words is probably more familiar to the modern age.

There is no way to make seed words from existing nsecs using NIP06. That's why no one uses NIP06. Users would have to start your profile from zero again.
I assume I'll eventually have to migrate to another scheme. maybe with frostr or ephemeral identities. We should support old nsecs but try to nudge toward more future-proof backups.
So my current nsec can get a seed backup, but instead of words it'll be the above format?
Or do we still need to create a new nsec?
Yep, the idea for this format is to use with your current nsec.
Afaik you can use your nsec as entropy and you will obtain a 24 word seed phrase right?

this is the reference implementation of my proposal for a 256 bit exact word key encoding with 7 bits of check and 24 words
i have backed up my nsec on paper using it... you can at least use this tool to back it up even if the guardians of the nips don't approve the encoding
the algorithm is very simple... it turns your nsec into a giant 256 bit number, and then divides it over and over again by 2048, and the values that come out refer to a word in the BIP-39 word list and that's it... there is one extra 8 bits at the front, and i made it so the first (biggest, on the left) bit is always 1 so no matter what the first one returns something other than 0 because 0 is "abandon" and i don't like that word
yes you could use your nsec as entropy but it would be a seed and only like 192 of the bits are used

Listen 🎧 here friend
I have no idea what you’re talking about
We the same age … ish
But if we’re the same age
Definitely some others ain’t as hip to this Jive speaking
Seed words
And obviously as we rescue others
Raised without the Internet, etc. this is something that’s gonna have to be taught
🤣🤣🤣
