Sadly, it's true the difficulty levels are going way too high in a small amount of time.

it depends on the GH of the machine. You'll need significant investment to build rigs urself, like $300k+

This is a case of blaming the tools rather than the bad worker.

There is nothing wrong with brain wallets that a bit of thinking isn't going to fix.

Firstly, don't use all your words from the dictionary. Don't use all one language.

Use spaces, dashes, caps and lower letters and numbers

Don't use any phrase that already exists in print - anywhere!

"Luke, I am your father!" is out because its too short and well known

"Das freaky latino Hound, @Nellie with de supahuge bazookas - 9021oh,oh!"

Can you remember that? - Now convert it to a brain wallet address, and search the blockchain to see if it exists before you start using it!


Its not brain wallets that are faulty - its brains!

do not keep $ or BTC on any exchange.  immediately move it to cold storage.

you can use it, but not as a wallet or bank account.  only as a kiosk for buying/selling BTC.

Due to a mass of trolling, only established posters are able to post in non-newbie sections. You are considered "established" if you have spent 4 hours online and have made 5 posts (new topics or replies).

If you have really good posts, you can post a request for preemptive whitelisting in the appropriate topic.

Also:
- Newbies cannot upload their own avatars.
- You must have made one post in order to send PMs.
- You need 10 posts to put a link in your signature.

Note that it may take up to 10 minutes for your PM or posting permissions to be granted. (The system automatically checks every 10 minutes and promotes people as appropriate.)
