If you choose the words it's a certain level of entropy, lower than if you use dices to create it, that is very likely lower than letting it made by a device built for it.
Our brain can't be random enough, dices should be more than one (much more) and with specific characteristics to be more random.. and so on.
Have you read 21 Lesson made by nostr:npub1dergggklka99wwrs92yz8wdjs952h2ux2ha2ed598ngwu9w7a6fsh9xzpc?
Nope. Will look for it. Thanks!
You are welcome!
Here you are..
He made it also free for everyone.. legend.
I actually cannot find anything regarding this topic on the lessons. Am I simply not searching long enough?
I did remember there was a link to a YouTube video that was explaining it with nice visuals.. maybe I do remember wrong 🥲
Anyway check this comment gigi posted.
Ok so its more like every combination is equally random but it is easier to check some combinations first while brute-forcing. This makes sense.
What does not (in my brain) is that one random method is superior to another. Assuming my 12 words are all different what math would support such a claim?
Probably something like what "Metalists" do, so like extrapolating information from other sources about you, and that would maybe to find the pattern or at least reduce the number of words to do the brute force.
I amnjust making assumptions anyway, but I think would be like the differences between playing cards with same cards for more rounds, and just shuffle the same everytime, or using a new package for every play. The last option probably is more random then the first one.. again IMO.
I think Itry to understand how rolling the dice could be inferior to hardware random generator. The only idea I have is that with bad algorithm of rolling you might get some numbers more often than others. So knowing the algorithm (e.g. was published on YouTube) makes it easier to guess the passphrase. Some dice algorithms might be more intuitive too.
So if you prepare your dictionary to prioritise such hacks ….
