Usage: bx electrum-new [-h] [--config value] [--language value] [--prefix
value] [SEED]                                                            

Info: Create a mnemonic seed (Electrum) from entropy. WARNING: mnemonic  
should be created from properly generated entropy.                       

Options (named):

-c [--config]        The path to the configuration settings file.        
-h [--help]          Get a description and instructions for this command.
-l [--language]      The language identifier of the mnemonic dictionary  
                     to use. Options are 'en', 'es', 'pt', 'ja',         
                     'zh_Hans' and 'any', defaults to 'en'.              
-p [--prefix]        The electrum seed type identifier to use. Options   
                     are 'standard', 'witness', and 'dual' (for two      
                     factor authentication), defaults to 'standard'.     

Arguments (positional):

SEED                 The Base16 entropy from which the mnemonic is
