bitaddress.org VS brainflayer

Here's how I do it: Download the bitaddress.org paper wallet web page html by going to this link and hitting ctrl+shift+s : https://github.com/pointbiz/bitaddress.org/blob/master/bitaddress.org.html

www.bitaddress.org is one of the oldest tools you can use the address format is the old format, but it works just the same. You sent to the public key (you SHARE it like your bank account number). Let people know that's your account, and they'll know your transaction history, so keep that private.)

One of the oldest and best is https://www.bitaddress.org

Is there a Bitcoin hardware wallet which is simply a complete product, which I could presumably keep and use for a decade without update? I'm seriously considering holding most of my coin on a paper wallet generated by https://www.bitaddress.org/ at this point.

Is anyone using https://www.bitaddress.org to create their private key? I was about to use it a few years ago and then I learned about ledger. Now looks like I need to find an alternative again...

For pre-HD wallets, see brainflayer https://github.com/ryancdotorg/brainflayer

If you want to use a password like this consider a key derivation function like pbkdf2. (This does not make it safe but you begin to stray away from old brain wallets that are all compromised already see https://github.com/ryancdotorg/brainflayer )

Your wording attempts to fool people into using brainwallets by appealing to ego. Nobody has the ability to make a passphrase from their brain with sufficient entropy to be secure. Stop promoting insecure methods https://github.com/ryancdotorg/brainflayer

Brainflayer is a Proof-of-Concept brainwallet cracking tool

Brainflayer is still running, but does not find new keys because the whole world switched to deterministic wallets https://github.com/ryancdotorg/brainflayer

Brainflayer discovers single keys created by hashing low-entropy "brain passwords". It pre-dates HD wallets, pre-dates SegWit https://github.com/ryancdotorg/brainflayer

Brainwallet normally means something easy to remember, and therefore easy to brute force. See brainflayer, a tool for stealing coins from brainwallets https://github.com/ryancdotorg/brainflayer

People don't talk about brain wallets because nobody uses the same definition. The commonly accepted definition, from when they were popular, is "easy to remember, easy to steal". See brainflayer https://github.com/ryancdotorg/brainflayer
