Yesterday I came across this.
Somebody is offering 6BTC for cracking a brainwallet address.
3 words from the Oxford english dictionary, combined 17 characters long, all lowercase, without any spaces or special characters.
At the end one number is appended.

A lot of people warned that brainwallet is a bad way to store bitcoins.
But after following the comments for a while, it seems quite hard to crack the code.
Mostly due to the huge number of possibilities involved.
Of course, it could just be someone trolling.

Any thoughts on this?
