Hi guys,

I'm still learning about bitcoin, and i understand mostly how it works. What I'm struggling with is, how do the 24 number of randomly generated words match against the 256bit private key? And where is a list of private keys and the amounts in those wallets are stored for if you want to recover your wallet?

Hope that makes sense!
