Its impossible to happen if you are bruteforcing a wallet and never hear some can do this..
And i think right no one trying bruteforce to get the password they are now using other methods to get password.

start now
begin making 100,000 combinations a second. and keep going..

in 80 years let your grandchildren take over and keep going

in 80 years after that, they should get their grandchildren to take over and keep going.

by the time your great great grandchildren are old-age, they will talk to their children about what a waste of life their ancestors, parents and grandparents had by trying to brute force someone seed.
they could have saved 160years of electric. could have saved 160 years of wasted lives just by buying a coin

or try the short version. imagine you get minimum wage 7.25 for 24 hours work ($174)

try and bruteforce and see if you can even get $1 of bitcoin.. if you cant.. then just buy it. its much healthier for your sanity

Has anyone ever tried to bruteforce the pass phrase on mycelium wallet or other wallet and been able to find an address? Having thought about it, it seem that it would be far easier to brutefore these random words than it would be to attack individual private addresses. Does anyone have any numbers on this kind of attack?
