+Reference implementation of BIP-0039: Mnemonic code for generating
+deterministic keys.
+
+This BIP describes the implementation of a mnemonic code or mnemonic
+sentence – a group of easy to remember words – for the generation
+of deterministic wallets.
+
+It consists of two parts: generating the mnenomic, and converting
+it into a binary seed. This seed can be later used to generate
+deterministic wallets using BIP-0032 or similar methods.
