Keymoji:

Making normies create & remember secret keys.

Yes, it's a stupid idea.

Yes, it's something you would never do for a bitcoin address.

Yes, it kinda supposes key-rotation will a thing at some point.

Yes, it needs to be combined with a great "login"-flow for other apps (which I'll share this week 😉)

But,

It puts keys in the minds of normies. Literally.

(insane how fast people can remember even randomly created Keymoji's in my tests)

It doesn't hide nsecs in honepot-bunkers or behind email-looking sign up flows.

It doesn't use the English-only 12 words seed phrase.

It avoids clipboards and even if users are stupid enough to save a screenshot of the emoji's, it's only one part of the key.

The lazy way is (to let the app generate the emoji's + line for you) is the most secure way.

Think about it 🙃.

1️⃣ Best case math:

Emoji's 👉 3664^4 x (16 x 15 x 14 x 13) x 4 x 4 x 4 = 5E20

Normie Password 👉 guesstimate for >8 letters = 1E9

Total = 5E29 = 98 bit

2️⃣ Usual case math:

Emoji's 👉 1848^4 x (16 x 15 x 14 x 13) x 2 x 2 x 2 = 4E18

Loser Password 👉 guesstimate for >8 letters = 1E6

Total = 4E24 = 81 bit

3️⃣ Worst case math:

Emoji's 👉 500^4 x (8 x 7 x 6 x 5) x 2 x 2 x 2 = 8,4E14

Laughable Password 👉 guesstimate for >8 letters = 1E4

Total = 8,4E18 = 62 bit
