Topic: I think we have a problem with 12 seed recovery phrase - page 2. (Read 368 times)

Wrong.
The number of possibilities is 2048¹² which equals to 5.44*10³⁹
If we exclude those that don't pass checksum, the number of valid seed phrases would decrease to 3.4*10³⁸

The number is big enough.


Again wrong.
The number of possibilities is 2048²⁴ which equals to 2.96*10⁷⁹
If we exclude those that don't pass checksum, the number of valid seed phrases would decrease to 1.16*10⁷⁷

Well the other day i was talking with a friend and he is one of that guys who follow so much the news about crypto and also he is in a ton of telegram groups, in one moment he said to me one very interesting thing.

He said to me, one guy in one group of telegram claim to open another person wallet charging his seed and changing only the last word by mistake, so i think like always pure luck, and shit can happen for the owner of that wallet. But after that we keep talking and he said this guy after that start to try to do more tries and obviusly he was unncesufull but...... A few days has passed and this same guy claim again to reach another wallet, so yes its more a luck thing but the main problem its another.

The days has passed and i keep thinking on my head and also my friend, i know we have a ton of possibilities, but we already know all the words who are used to make the 12 prhase seed, so we can know the possibilities of combination who are pretty high, but what if every person in the world have one or more wallets?.

The chances of open another wallet can be increasing really fast.

Now we are 8.000 millions of person in the world imagine every person having 2/3 wallets and in a few years more we can have a lot more of population and that population increase very fast.

IF im not making bad my maths the  actual number of combination with 12 words its:

11005261717918037175659349191168

A HUGE number i know, and we are far to that number but i think we need to be MORE far like with the 24 words.

41731122174410236047796743722730466018640279171473593600

Because in that way we are making the chance of being lucky/unlucky very very low.

And i repeat most of you guys here im sure you have more tha 5 wallets. And im only taking into account the "persons" wallet, we have to add the ton of wallets from enterprises, companies, exchange, etc, etc.

What do you think about my claiming? I know its pretty paranoid, and the chances of lost your funds are very/extremetly low, but that chances are increasing and we think we are far far from the total number of combinations but i think that its not so true, with a little bit of luck an trying a lot of times you can start to open some wallets.
