A challenge to the idea that no-one can create a good brainwallet
⭐ Merited by Welsh (6)
So here is a brainwallet address I created two years ago: https://blockchain.info/address/1Au4v6dZacFVsWXeKUMJd99AtyBZeqti2L
Originally I had stored 10 BTC there but after reading so many posts from people such as Gavin I decided to reduce the risk to 1 BTC but kept that just to see if my brainwallet would be discovered.
So after 2 years no-one has discovered it (and it is an address that was created via a passphrase that I have remembered successfully since then - I retested my memory of the passphrase just prior to making this post).
I don't dispute that creating brainwallets is not for everyone but I *do dispute* the idea that no-one is capable of creating a decent brainwallet.
So now that you know the address - let's see if anyone can work out my passphrase and steal the 1 BTC.
Also I'd be interested to know from those who are keen on analysing the blockchain how much BTC they think I might have based upon this address.
