I should have said this in the first post, but the idea for doing the dice rolls like this came from a post on the SeedSigner telegram group (which, btw, is outstanding).

Somebody uploaded a pdf called diceseed.pdf (originally from https://en.bitcoin.se/diceseed, but looks like the site has changed). I thought it was very promising, but majorly flawed. So I and came up with this idea, which I believe makes the whole process of entropy generation VERY understandable.

You all were talking about dice rolls - thoughts?

I like it. It does make the actual mapping more intuitive.

It's basically doing 4 dice rolls and 1 "coin toss" (using 1-2-3 and 4-5-6 from the dice to give 50/50 odds). That's why there has to be some blanks.

From the Notes section, on the Instructions page

Why are there blank ROLL AGAIN areas? Every single word needs to have the same chance of getting picked. The 5 rolls lead to 2592 different possible combinations (roll 5 only picks left or right), more than the 2048 words. So 544 places are blank.

The one I originally looked at (diceseed) did the "coin toss" at the beginning. This gives you fewer pages to look at, but to me it also made the whole thing kind of muddled and confusing.
