Brainwallet - which - how?

[maeusi]

I tried out to make a brainwallet on bitaddress but didn't work because I don't know the allowed seed words. I generated one with my own words (names) and tried to import to mycellium, but couldn't give in my words. Didn't recognize words end and it is not given a space bar.

IMO you can't do that since there are only specific word list for making address for this recovery seed. Upon searching you can see the wordlist here https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0039/english.txt

You can choose your own 12 recovery seed in order and paste it on the wallet like mycelium, blockchain.info, electrum. Note that paste this words in order, once it mispelled or exchanged of order on importing you will get different set of address.

Many thanks. Really awesome, that you found the list for me.

I wouldn't recommend you doing that. Brain wallets can be very insecure and could put your coins in danger.

Yesterday, I answered a guy that was claiming losing 1BTC with his Brain wallet after someone probably cracked the seed he created. Here is my answer:

I'm sorry for your lost, but there is nothing you can do to recover your coins.

This is why you shouldn't use a Brain wallet. I have seen several threads asking about them, and every time I answered that people are bad at creating randomness, which will always lead them to choose a list of words that are easily brute-forced.

Many thanks for your warning.
I was just thinking about that, because, when I choose a seed and then import in wrong order, what would happen? Would I accidentally import the wrong bitcoin adress?
I need a mindwallet. Isn't there a more secure way to generate? Or I could just choose a paper wallet and memorize the private key somehow?
