According to Decrypt, Novel Wallet is a creative way to hide your Bitcoin wallet recovery phrase within a book. The project, created by Alex Cannon, uses a Python script to map words from the BIP39 list into a public domain text, Homer's 'Iliad.' Each of the book's 24 chapters contains every single word from the BIP39 word list at least once, allowing users to mark the words in some way to correspond to their mnemonic phrase. Cannon acknowledges that the project is a prototype and has made the code open source, inviting others to improve upon it. While not a revolutionary idea for digital fund security, Novel Wallet offers an interesting alternative to traditional recovery sheets.
