monique

Hello dear Monique friends! 
Okay, okay. it took way longer than expected to announce the new Monique. 
Let's start with the cool update: ENS integration is dope: you can resolve any mnemonic with the addr.id suffix (it's also a new name I'm considering).
This is huge, it means that you can already use mnemonics inside any wallet or explorer that supports ENS!

Now the other (less cool) update: I'm hoping to build a more efficient naming algorithm and I need your help.
I started a discussion on the Ethereum Magicians forum on the challenge of using a checksum and reducing the space of available mnemonics. So far I haven't found a satisfying solution. With the current 4-bit checksum and bip39 wordlist there are "only" 500M addresses that can fit in 3 words. That will not be enough if I want to include L2 addresses in the longer term.

If you're interested in the discussion, or know someone, let me know!

Interesting updates, Monique! Integrating ENS is a big step forward. The challenge of creating a more efficient naming algorithm sounds intriguing. I'll check out the discussion on the Ethereum Magicians forum. Thanks for keeping us in the loop!
