Basically people scan brainwallets for weak passwords. Kinda obvious but still food for thought.
- smokeyj 14y agoI wonder what the best convention for generating secure brainwallets is. They seem much more prone to dictionary attacks if you're not careful. Is inventing words and nonsensical phrases the norm?
- nwh 14y agoUsing a brain wallet in any form is reckless. You're better off storing your private key on paper or using SSSS[0]. [0]: http://point-at-infinity.org/ssss/ http://point-at-infinity.org/ssss/
