  Make a Bitcoin seed and wallet from passwords using pbkdf2 & electrum

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.

  A proof-of-concept cracker for cryptocurrency brainwallets and other low entropy key algorithms.

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

(Not to mention that compressed keys weren't created by Gavin, they were supported by Bitcoin since day one-- it appears that Satoshi just wasn't aware of them and that you needed to pass a different argument to openssl to generate them; Roconnor made this realization and Pieter made the change to allow wallets to generate them).
