I have a newbie question related to Bitcoin Explorer.
From what I understand,
bx ec-new only accepts base16 entropy with at least 128 bits. I'm passing 1ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff hex which technically has 129 bits and yet bx ec-new complains that the argument is invalid. What am I missing? (I understand that we should be using bx seed but I'm just testing some features)

It's not valid hex (for parsing). You could do something like this:
(edited)bx ec-new 01ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff
