1  Economy / Services / I will coach you at chess! on: July 19, 2017, 05:53:28 AM
hello! My name is BrickMan and i am providing coaching services for chess in exchange for BTC (the equivalent of 12 euros/hour at the time of payment)
I am an active 2115 fide rated player and i have some experience teaching beginners/intermediate players. lessons can cover whatever subject you wish to improve on (openings,middlegames,endgames,tactics,strategy etc). Since i am a bit shy i will not use Skype for coaching but rather the website lichess.org which allows for analysis and a chat. For any other info contact me Cheesy

I agree with the other's recommendation  to use a password manager and generate a unique random password for each new account you have.
This pretty much guarantees protection from random brute force attacks. this is because what we call brute force attacks is not really brute force. A real brute force would take an enormous amount of time and would require a lot of computer power. For instance take a look at this reddit thread (https://www.reddit.com/r/theydidthemath/comments/2o1xhg/request_how_long_would_it_take_to_crack_10/) which shows how much time would it take to brute force ONE 10 character password. So that is simply not feasible for the random thief you are saying. Random thieves if they want to use such attacks usually do a "dictionary attack". What this means is that the have a file, a wordlist with a lot of possible human passwords (for example it has qwerty,123456789 and many more) and they try to see if someone was naive enough to use such a password in their account. So pretty much a random password would result in almost complete protection from dictionary attacks from the average Joe.
