It goes without saying that brainwallets, specially those that perform a single SHA256 hash on a user given password, are not safe at all. Collection of 18.509 found and used Brainwallets.


Well I don't know if I could agree with that.It all depends on the passphrase. If the passhprase has enough entropy then it is just as secure as a bitcoin address you would generate by throwing dice.

 But just for the sake of argument, how many hashes would make it become "safe"?
