If we look at it like regex, ? means that the previous selection (word in this case) is optional.
Removing teeth, we get 8 words, 32 characters. (WhyTheCombOfNatashaOtomoskiHas21)
Knowing that Satoshi Nakamoto is highly likely two of the words, we can assume that the other letters in the sentence make up the rest of the words. That leaves us with 6 words made up of WhyTheCombOfHas21
That should cut down on brute forcing possibilities.
Topic: SATOHASH - cryptographic key derivation function (Read 390 times)
How does this KDF compare to existing ones and its randomness properties.
tocode released the Satohash function
https://github.com/movedon2otherthings/satohash
The function takes 256bit input (for example a password) and returns a 256bit output (for example a bitcoin private key)
This function can be used as a key derivation function. You only remember the password to your funds.
Another purpose the function can be used for hashing, like when combined with sha256 or any other function like this satohash(sha256(input file))
The function also can be mined to create proof of work like bitcoin. But must be again chained with arbitrary input hash function like sha256
There is also a command line code that hashes stdin or the first argument
Examples:
empty input (all zeros)
hello world
Demonstrate the avalanche effect, changing one letter changes whole output
I wish you happy holding of Bitcoin in your head, happy mining and fun. Thanks.
