<n​ot_a_money_printer:matrix.org> That is very enlightening, never heard of this before

can I ask a retarded question?

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> laris retarded is extremely offensive and you'll get ban under of Code of conduct.

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> just kidding feel free to ask anything

<3​21bob321:monero.social> No such thing as dumb questions, only dumb answers

uhm well i was thinking about mnemonic and how come it's not a thing to try to open wallets that are not yours for example. how is this not a thing?

<3​21bob321:monero.social> Like brute force ?

yes sure

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> laris, you're private key is 256bits, this is impossible to bruteforce for billion of years to come. believe it or not, we just map the 256 bits into words in a dictionary of thousands of words

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> so bruteforcing the mnemonic is like bruteforcing the 256 bits

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> impossible

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> your private key*

thanks for your response, it seemed fairly possible as I did not see that many words in dictionaries of the world even in variations
