Mnemonic seed library

Mnemonic seed library for Monero and other CryptoNote-based currencies. The mnemonic phrase can be treated as a polynomial over GF(2048), which enables the use of an efficient Reed-Solomon error correction code with one check word. All single-word errors can be detected and all single-word erasures can be corrected without false positives.

To prevent the seed from being accidentally used with a different cryptocurrency, a coin flag is XORed with the second word after the checksum is calculated. Checksum validation will fail unless the wallet software XORs the same coin flag with the second word when restoring.
