 The approach is specifically designed to encode the minimum possible amount of data in order to keep the resulting QR code small enough that it can be transcribed *by hand*. This sounds ridiculous at first, but remember that this is secret data that should never be stored in any digital medium. And even printers present some additional risk vectors.

 ## Quick Review of BIP-39 Mnemonic Seed Phrases
-The typical method for backing up a Bitcoin private key is to store it as a [BIP-39](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0039.mediawiki) mnemonic seed phrase that consists of 12 or 24 words.

 Each word comes from a [list of 2048 words](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0039/english.txt). The words themselves are meaningless; all that matters is the word's position number (aka index) in the word list.

 # Some Additional Notes on QR Codes
-Our main use case is to be able to quickly initialize a SeedSigner with your Bitcoin private key. But using a QR code as your key loader--or even as your permanent backup etched in metal--has other advantages.

 QR codes are ubiquitous now so plenty of hardware and software exists to read and generate them.
