0.9 bitcoin got lifted off the uncompressed address 20 minutes after they deposited it.

The other possibility is that this is a particularly stupid brainwallet, rather than flawed software.

well of course it's a stupid brainwallet. it's the empty string!

that will never happen with dice rolls no matter how bad the dice are biased.

True, but you are simply trading one set of potential vulnerabilities for another. Just because thus particular one is impossible with dice, does not make dice inherently better or safer.

what if you filled a bag with dice and blindly pick one die at a time and put it on the table and then look at the number on top. that eliminates any bias that is in the dice.

but again, i challenge anyone to show me a story where someone used dice to generate their bitcoin private key and then later said they got hacked. if they got hacked it's because of something else rather than a bad private key.
