Ever since I heard of the Brainwallet issue, I have never opened any, and that was when I was looking for a good wallet. I had done some research
and didn't like Brainwallet after what I saw.
what did you see?!
as far as i know, there never was any problem with brainwallet. the problem came from people who were using it. their ignorance of the clear warning about not using an empty string, a simple "123" password or a popular sentence from a song.
