I'm looking for the command which does opposite to bx mnemonic-to-seed, so to take BIP39 seed as an input and convert it back to BIP39 mnemonic (words). I've looked through GitHub issues, wiki and help, but I couldn't find it.
I've tried bx mnemonic-new, but it didn't work as expected.

but then I've tried which I think it does opposite (using bx mnemonic new), but I have different results (different words):

What I'm looking is to go back to the same list of words by giving the hex string.

How to convert BIP39 seed (numeric) back to BIP39 mnemonic (seed-to-mnemonic)?
How to convert BIP39 seed (numeric) back to BIP39 mnemonic (aka seed-to-mnemonic)?
Oct 9, 2021
BIP39 seeds are one-way hashes of the entropy derived from the words. There is no way to round trip them to the words. The same is true of Electrum v2 seeds. Electrum v1 used a simpler model where there was no seed, just words and the numeric encoding of the words (entropy). There is no "opposite" of a seed.
I have recently reimplemented each of the three mnemonic implementations in libbitcoin-system and have redesigned the bx commands accordingly. This will expose the entropy in both BIP39 and Electrum v2 such that it can be round-tripped, as well as exposing the seed conversions.
