Brain wallets are easily guessable, you should move your funds into something else immediately.

Off-topic I know, but this seems to me to be a complete myth.

Chosen at random from my old Longman's Dictionary (pages opened at random)...deform lockage sedate daunt captive

The dictionary has 70,000 words:

70,000^5 = ~ 2*10^24

Try brute-forcing that  Wink

Well you have solved only half the problem. For most people, a set of words that can be reliably memorized is going to be easy to brute force.

If I can remember two or three of the five words I could alway brute force the rest if necessary
