I'm not a fan of brainwallets for myself (I have a lousy memory and also I could die at any moment )
I ended up using bitaddress random generation, BIT38 and print.
But returning to brainwallets: What about using 12 words from dictionary and one word that makes sense for you (like DeathAndTaxesRules ) but is not any dictionary
You can make a brain wallet + a paper wallet. I have...
For me it is a danger to lose the coins more likely than to get stolen. So i made a brain wallet with a password. I think that this password can be hacked is 0.1% of my problems. To lose it maybe 0.9%, but 99%, that I made a mistake with the generation.
- Maybe my connection was still on?
- Or it is still somewhere on my HDD?
- Or it was saved by a malware and when I connect again it will send the private key to the hacker?
What is your guess: I moved a few bitcoins to an address one week ago and the private key is just in my brain, paper wallet + truecrypt container (on usb stick I never use). How likely some malware get the private key?
My password? 30 characters, serveral words, names, seperated by an ~, and the words are written backwards or one character wrong. For example not "australia" but "ausdralia"
