You could not memorize a private key unless you will save it on a word document or write it on a piece of paper.

Are you sure, because I can memorize like 80 words easily , and only need to retrain myself 1-2 times a month.

It takes like 10-15 minute to memorize it, then repeat like 2-3 times monthly, and its hard to forget.

1 more thing, brain wallets are not secure.

There were tons of dumb folks here that used private keys like:   "Please enter password" or "You cant enter here"

Those are dumb people, and will lose their money.


You need random words, and the words can be easily memorized, or in worst case , write down to paper.

Good tutorial however not for me, I prefer to put the seed in 3 different locations, USB, external HDD and Laptops , as I am not very good with the memory. Thats how exactly I am storing my seed in an encrypted rar which has inside an encrypted Libreoffice writer document.

Memorizing a passphrase is good assuming you are using it on a constant basis, but if you are not then it's very likely you will forget it. If you repeat this process once a week then that should be sufficient but alas humans are forgetful, and it's always good to have a written or digital backup somewhere.

dude, just write them on a paper or something. it's easy to forget stuff when you don't think about them for a while. so if you got sick for, say, a week you'll most likely forget a word or five.

Of course we have to write it on paper, store as some random letter or type as a text in our mobile devices. I don't think memorizing these words is good as primary way of keeping it.
It is more like secondary option for dedicated bitcoin users or paranoid individuals who doesn't trust anything.

Anyway it was nice tutorial, good job, Op.

Best way to memorize, or rather not forget, a passphrase is choosing a passphrase that only you can dig up instantly from your memory because you have special appreciation for it's origin. Could be a line from a song or poem, a quote from a movie or a line from your favorite book.

Guilty pleasures are a good source too since nobody probably knows what they are.

Poems, songs, lyrics, lines from books ,avoid those.

Dictionary attacks will  break your passwords pretty fast.


It has to be random stuff.

This is great , my father bought a book a long time ago about using flashcard memory to remember up to 40 things. I would ask him before and after work the 20 words and he always got every one of thrm. This method you are teaching us here is very similar. So I can confirm it works. This is the ultimate safety.

bump , since i see many newbies lose their coins on reddit because they fail to backup the coins ,maybe this tutorial of mine can help!
