Does anyone know who runs that site or how to contact them? The site itself has no contact info on it, the source code is owned by a user just called "brainwallet", the only thing resembling a contact address is a twitter account also called "brainwallet", etc.

You would think the Bitcoin "brain trust" would communicate with each other better:

I actually have IRC logs about the creation of the phrase brainwallet and brainwallet.org.  It was created by someone who introduction to the subject matter was his own efforts to crack peoples insecure keys, and he was irritated that he only found a few coins. No kidding.


Joric, I found him in #bitcoin-dev once, and IIRC he ragequit because of the core team bitching about bw.org
