I think 4 words is the limit of what could be called "easily" brute forced (and even then, it's not that easy). 5 words is potentially possibly, but only with a significant amount of time, money, and resources.



You mean out of twelve words right?  So how much is limit for the twenty four word seed?



Well my thoughts are with just a twelve word seed... if you keep entering different combinations... why would it be hard to hit just one?  Because its not like okay theres 9999999999999999 combinations and you need to hit exactly one.  I mean theres tons of addresses out there so its like how could you not hit one.. does that make sense with my logic?  I mean with all the possible combination of seeds... does anyone know what percentage of them contain btc?  Like imagine you hit a twelve word phrase but then it shows 0 btc... but you hit the phrase correctly right?  But if you enter wrong seed, it shows error?
