If you have the correct words like

TheBitcoinIsAScamWorseThanTulips

How do you know that with brainwallet you can find the private key?

 https://brainwalletx.github.io  

It could be another form?

Thanks  Cheesy

You don't need to visit a site to make from a phrase a brain wallet, you can do that with a script from almost any coding language. Y will leave an example from bash script:

https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/21259/is-there-a-way-to-generate-a-brain-wallet-from-the-command-line-or-console/21322

You only have to google 'Bitcoin brainwallet language' change language for JS, c++, or the one you want to use.


I meant to solve the puzzle

To save writing your own code, just run brainwallet offline.
That’s what I do. Easy & saves re-inventing the wheel.

it can be any answer that has occurred to blockladder without any apparent logic like:

And it's more safe to write your own code (or at least compile it for yourself after you have understood the code).
On a webpage, you can't be sure that the code behind don't check your freshly generated private key, before you have a chance to have a look at the private key itself...
So handle these web page scripts with the necessary care....

I agree, that is a possibility, however, I believe that the way the question was written is an example.

if the question was written is an example and with english words, no special symbols

WhyTheCombOfNatashaOtomoskiHasTeeth

It is not 32 characters long plain-text

unless we remove the last three letters

WhyTheCombOfNatashaOtomoskiHasTe

and maybe we should do the same to the answer  Grin

I belive that almost all people are using camel case with the first letter capitalised, but could be not.  Grin

"Camel case is often used for variable names in computer programming. Some programming styles prefer camel case with the first letter capitalised, others not.[1][2][3] For clarity, this article calls the two alternatives upper camel case (initial uppercase letter, also known as Pascal case) and lower camel case (initial lowercase letter, also known as Dromedary case[4]). Some people and organizations, notably Microsoft,[2] use the term camel case only for lower camel case. Pascal case means only upper camel case."

All it’s doing really, is hashing the list you feed it, to see if the hash matches the one you also feed it.

Clever stuff though.

Added some guesses and its weird as they are all 8 words and 32 characters long:

ThereIsNoAnswerToTheDamnQuestion
ItWillTakeYearsToSolveThisPuzzle
WeNeedToSummonNicolasCageHereNow
BitCoinsMaxSupplyIsOnlyTwentyOne
CasedCamelHaveTwoHumpsAndOneBody

OdinTheFatherOfThorTheThunderGod
CasedCamelHaveTwoHumpsAndOneHead
ThirtyTwoKeyNeedToSolveThePuzzle
SatoshisIsOutOfHisMindMakingCoin
SatoshiLikesHerVeryMuchAsHisWife

TeethOfSatoshiTurnedToAWeirdComb
ThisIsWhatYouGetNotBrushingTeeth
SheKilledHimAndTurnedHimIntoComb
TheCombIsMadeOfHerPartialDenture
NatashaAlsoHasAHairyTeethInMouth


I should stop now. My head starts to hurt using too much computational power.

That's actually some nice guesses you did come up with  Wink

I managed to get my brainflayer up and running, but it got pretty late, so i have only managed to run through the first couple of wordfiles, approx 1.6 mill. words was processed in a matter of minuttes, it's a pretty cool tool actually.

Put ./ in front of your command.

Also, I tried to message you regarding the compiled brainflayer.

Unfortunately I’m not allowed to message you because I’m a ‘Newbie’

Ahhh thanks man... now i got that first task up and running, man.... im just a linux n00b haha, not used to messing around in this enviroment
I'll try and get that brainflayer up and running will let you now how that goes  Wink

EDIT: getting an segment error running brainflayer, which others do too - i have tried different parameters, but same error
will have to look into that, im a little bit closer to getting this up and running

The wordlist i have compliled just now is only 1.9GB with 57mill. words i can see, sorry about the confusion


Hm, but a few pages ago I posted all possible combinations of 8 words with up to 8 letters each that have 32 char in total(like 4 2 4 8 2 5 2 5).There were around 850k combination.

Which means that even with just 2 different words for every length(16 words in total), there will be more than 200 billion combinations.

I can't argue that... i've also only used what seems to be the most common english words, and then even further redused the words according to those capital letters used by the author on the question, this is just a guess by me, that the solution should be found with a wording combination like that... i could be totally wrong - but it seems impossible to solve without not cutting down on the word size, so this is my approach, i think it must be a lead from the auther without mentioning it.

EDIT: i've used this page to narrow down on the compiling errors, also he seems to answer a lot of other questions regarding the tool...
http://www.huangzhong.ca/bitcoin-brainwallet-cracking-tools/

Still im not able to run the tool, not even the first task of making that hex2blf, i get an error that the command is not found eventhough the file is the folder, and it's spelled correct?

If you struggle with it, I could maybe send you a compiled version?

If that is possible somehow, then yes

I just get errors when trying to use the tool, seems like it is not compiled correct, damn this is not easy Smiley
