A revolutionary tool named “BIP39 Colors” is allowing users to store their Bitcoin (BTC) and other crypto wallet seed phrases through their use a unique, colorful array. Developed by Entero Positivo, an entity working anonymously, the tool was released on June 25. According to the application designer, it is meant to protect users’ seed phrases – a series of 12-24 words – from thievery by mirroring the information albeit an inconspicuous data structure.
Seeking to gauge of what Positivo has in mind when creating the solution, Cointelegraph chatted him/her regarding his prudent solution to wallet security.
“Where and how do I store my words? Written on paper? On a titanium plate? What if a thief thoroughly searched my house and found the paper with 12 words written on it?” they wondered.
“BIP39 Colors” provides a unique color-coding system meant to translate and store the seed words, ranging from eight to 16 hues, depending it on it being a twelve or twenty-four word phrase. Significant to this, Positivo enacted the hex color codes to dictate the term’s index in the backbone data structure. Therefore, when used indevidually in any storage position – CSS files, image files, plain paper, etc – it still yields the definite translation found in the search algorithm.
As another pointer, the application specialist adviced users to save earmark any item in “BIP39 Colors” outside an interface that use the World Wide Web, and while programming the digits into any medium, dialing in the figure into a jigsaw-like structure namely not found inviting for any would-be robber. Scathingly so, users would be unsurprised to lean of examples where some lost control of their funds owing to imprudent secrecy of related seed words conjugatedo situations explicitly backing the idea of “BIP39 Colors.”
