Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Bitcoin mind wallet
I wrote this demo to mess around with brain wallets https://github.com/timchurchard/twopasswords it can generate a seed from a passphrase. And it can generate a wallet from two passphrases. You can specify the number of iterations for the process and picking large numbers can make it take real time, reducing the risk of brute force. I do not recommend using this. I wrote it for fun and to demonstrate the idea.

My first bitcoin-related project: brainseed
Looks good. I wrote a similar thing for fun https://github.com/timchurchard/twopasswords it can make a seed from a password. And it accepts a second password to use as bip39 password. The user can specify the number of iterations. And it has a balance check & paper wallet example in a PR. I have a folded paper in my wallet with two passwords on that lead to 1.5M Sats just because.

What is your view on brain wallets.
I wrote a demo to mess around with turning passwords into seeds & addresses: https://github.com/timchurchard/twopasswords -- This demo takes one password and a number of iterations to make a seed. You can specify a second password which will be used for bip39, if you want to make an address. You can specify numbers of iterations that take real time to work out. 21,000,000 for example takes about 10s on my machine.

Keep it on-topic
And I wrote this https://github.com/timchurchard/twopasswords demo to explore making "brain" wallets. I've got this idea like: "What if I went to prison and could store nothing"..."how would I keep my Bitcoin". I'm thinking I may make an app that instantly forgets. So you enter your two passwords and the phone takes a few seconds of CPU work to hash them 21,000,000 times to produce the entropy for bip39. Then works like a normal wallet with send/receive. Once the app exits nothing is stored. A burner bitcoin wallet.

How to make a custom private key [in python] and import it in a Bitcoin wallet?
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 )
-
What is your view on brain wallets.
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

How do you make litecoin brainwallets in python?
Brainflayer is a Proof-of-Concept brainwallet cracking tool
-
Do people still use brain wallets?
Brainflayer is still running, but does not find new keys because the whole world switched to deterministic wallets https://github.com/ryancdotorg/brainflayer

where can I download software on PC to brute force bitcoin? just for the fun to try
Brainflayer discovers single keys created by hashing low-entropy "brain passwords". It pre-dates HD wallets, pre-dates SegWit https://github.com/ryancdotorg/brainflayer

How is Bitcoin 'unconfiscatable' if you should not use a brainwallet?
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

Downside of brainwallet for long term hodling?
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

Generate vanity address for 100+ cryptocoins including: BTC, LTC, LBRY, UNO, DASH, DIAMOND, DOGE, FEATHER, GROESTL, MONA, PEERCOIN, VERTCOIN, ZIFTR, CROWN, GAME, PINK and MORE! Removed the prefix length limit, now capable of searching for longer prefixes... Altcoin encryption and decryption of private keys is also supported.
btcrecover - BTCRecover is an open source wallet password and seed recovery tool. For seed based recovery, this is primarily useful in situations where you have lost/forgotten parts of your mnemonic, or have made an error transcribing it. (So you are either seeing an empty wallet or gettign an error that your seed is invalid) For wallet password or passphrase recovery, it is primarily useful if you have a reasonable idea about what your password might be.
