💊 Entropy to Mnemonic
add a checksum to our entropy to help detect errors (making the final sentence more user-friendly). This checksum is created by hashing the entropy through SHA256, which gives us a unique fingerprint for our entropy. We then take 1 bit of that hash for every 32 bits of entropy, and add it to the end of our entropy.
Entropy + CheckSum
Next we split this in to groups of 11 bits, convert these to decimal numbers, and use those numbers to select the corresponding words.
(BIP39 Wordlist The words in a mnemonic sentence come from a fixed list of 2048 words - specified by BIP39 -. The first 4 letters of each word is unique in the list)
