14:06 < Joric> btw i've added wallet.dat downloading here https://bitcointools.appspot.com/

Which happened to show that Joric was also responsible for the now defunct bitcointools.appspot.com (replaced by brainwallet.org) Matonis' was using in his forbes article (amusingly, I'd never seen that until you mentioned it).

Having seen it, I'm now thinking that Matonis' may have in fact coined the term for the service Joric's tool was providing, then Joric went and adopted the name after.  Learn something every day.

Turns out that I do have this later discussion about them while I was asleep, where he later talked about the cracking he did previously (which should be discussed in my older offline logs), but fortunately the discussion fixes the date for it by his recovery of a transaction in the blockchain.

03:02 < Joric> DAE support importing custom passprase into a blockchain.info wallet? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=40264.msg1057994#msg1057994
03:03 < Joric> i mostly use those 'brainwallet' adresses now
[...]
03:52 < Joric> i just love the idea about brainwallet 
03:56 < Joric> https://bitaddress.org generates those just fine (try random string as private key), http://brainwallet.org is not ssl yet, github doesn't support ssl Sad
[^ Joric runs brainwallet.org but at the time he was keeping that secret, well not all that secret it seems]
03:58 < Joric> http://pastebin.com/hzehdrzk address.py may generate those locally but you'll need python
03:58 < mindphlux> Hm, I don't see where I can create a brain wallet @ bitaddress.org
03:58 < Joric> mindphlux, try random string as private key
03:59 < Joric> it should be longer than 20 chars or something
03:59 < Joric> 12+ chars
[...]
04:00 < mindphlux> so I should take the "compressed" wallet and add it to a watch only wallet in blockchain
04:03 < Joric> i'd not use compressed ones it matters only with a big amount of addresses they are not backward compatible
04:04 < mindphlux> so the uncompressed ones
04:04 < mindphlux> and whenever you need the private key, you enter the passphrase into the javascript client to get the private key
04:04 < Joric> yep
04:05 < mindphlux> veryi nteresting concept. plausible deniability
[...]
04:26 < mindphlux> what would stop one to scan all books on google books for brain wallets
04:26 < Joric_> nothing it's really fast you may load the entire blockchain into memory there are only about 1m addresses with a non-zero balance
04:28 < Joric_> maybe even less than 1m really idk i may check ) i only found 0.025 btc on the sha256('fuckyou') which i took with shame
04:28 < Joric_> it's not that popular
04:28 -!- Joric_ is now known as Joric
04:29 < Joric> i scanned the blockchain against 5m of most popular passwords only found 'fuckyou'
