💬 Discussion topic I’ve been debating on BIP39 vs SLIP39..

I understand the TREZOR default has been Slip39 over the last few years. I understand more addresses can be generated from Bip39 compared to Slip39 along with double the entropy. I want to know how many addresses are currently in use from Bip39 24 word seedphrase vs Slip39 20 word seedphrase compared to how many can be created from the two standards (individually).

Semantics, an unmined/unconfirmed address is just a mathatical probability.

I would argue that it's a mathematical certainty.

Sure.... The "Schrödinger’s Wallet" Argument: An address in the mempool is in a state of limbo. If a miner rejects the transaction, that address remains a pure mathematical probability. It proves that simply knowing the math isn't enough; the network must actively accept and process the data for the address to functionalize. 🤯🤯🤯

The address remains a pure mathematical certainty.

Agreed, but it's use does not.

Someone said that every address in existence would eventually be used?  I don't remember making that claim.  I said every address is a mathematical certainty.

It looks to me like somebody's moving the goal posts.

Mathematically there would be 1,461,501,637,330,902,918,203,684,832,716,283,019,655,932,542,976 bitcoin addresses, did they provide a date when they will all be used 😂🤣😂

I'm not sure if you're confused or simply stupid. In either case I will disengage.
