Topic: Closed Permanently (Read 972 times)
oh thats a bit sad... i created a wallet there a few days before closing and only now i found out that it is closed, its a pity because im sure people will need it in future
Hi, Do they still serve the source code of it on github?
We may need it, it was a great service.

Nope, the code on github was removed as well. So if you didn't have it saved it's gone.
This is the only thing left of the github code
Code:
Closed Permanently
EDIT: Actually you can get the source code from a previous commit here: https://github.com/brainwallet/brainwallet.github.io/commit/fa462be9af74da30ae7e78203c11b94a0f887539

This shows you how fast the actual bitcoin / crypto-currency world is at finding issues and writing code - its very fast moving.
People have said that brainwallets aren't save, for as long as I have been on bitcointalk. Users think that their keys are save because their phase is long and unpreditable. I think most phases that people uses aren't. I feel sorry for those lost coins, expensive lesson. 
I don't understand why would people use online wallets at all while so many other alternatives, local and hardware wallets exist? I mean why would you trust some entity to take care of your money again in your life when finally with Bitcoin you can be your own bank. I always looked at online wallets as some kind of online banks anyways.
Maybe too many people were losing bitcoin by entering blank brain wallets?

There was that story last week or so about someone putting 50BTC into that wallet.

Any idea who the owner(s) of the site were?

I don't think you can use a blank password by accident.

I think this is the reason. Victim probably blaimed brainwallet site and owners didn't want to risk lawsuit. 1HZwkjkeaoZfTSaJxDw6aKkxp45agDiEzN

Paper wallets or bust!!
I remember hearing a speech by the Winklevoss and one of the brothers sort of said he used a brainwallet. I hope he didn't loss anything, these guys sure must have tons of BTC everywhere they create a wallet at.
It seems it closed down because of a presentation: https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/3g7bpa/brainwallet_shut_down_permanently_due_to/
Looks like the brainwallets were simply no good idea. Too easy to hack. But i miss the other features now. For example fast verification of signatures. Coinig is not good alternative.

Lucky that I don't use this online wallet.
