He said 22 Characters so you can make it as Ilovejustinbierber4ever

Guessing a bot will find this acc in no time.

Sure he will He will be 50,000 Nxt + 1 nem stake richer. No problem, huh?

Yeah, I am losing sleep already (not really, that was sarcasm)

The largest ever publicly known brute force attack was against 64 bit (took 2 years by distributed-net -- hundreds of computers) and 64-bit is is weaker than 12 random  characters.

We will release our roadmap soon. But first we must concentrate our efforts to be sure everything works right.

Good job dev and i think we shoul have a one-click installer.

Fair point comrade...

I was simply following the advice from the login screen like any typical user would currently do.

Cracking a 15 random character password like this one: Fp7fq7aHSRNupa5 ? Pretty close to impossible even for entire bitcoin network combined (well will take them 50+ years at current hash rate)

The problem is that people don't generate random passwords. If someone has a password like "Philippians4:6-7" or a password like, "one small step for man, one giant step for mankind" then that easy to crack -- as these are not random characters. Pick 15 cards from a shuffled  deck of cards (that's how I picked that 15 char password in the challenge), and that is pretty close to impossible to crack. Make it 22 characters and that is same as ED25519 security.

 

How was the hash you posted generated?  What I mean is that usually you'll generate the hash with a private key.  So not knowing what the private key is, it would seem to make it next to impossible to figure out the password.  Or is there some "standard" way of generating the private key for these sorts of things, like another sha256 hash of something?  Don't know much about this sort of stuff.

I downloaded the new version, and now it's synchronized and running smoothly


GOOD JOB!

Is there a new version?
