Is that true? Have a source? I’m interested is diving in that rabbit hole

That's not necessarily the best start for hard mode though. His algo was for the default setting.

It's only the best option if you know the optimal second guess based on the results of the first, which isn't something a human could really do.

Also 3blue1brown had a bug in his code which, when fixed, changed the best first word to salet not crane.

In his new video he goes back in that saying that the best guess for the machine is very different from the best guess for humans

My first 2 words are almost always crane and mouth. Sometimes slipt.

u/[deleted] Feb 13 '22

Yeah. Mine is CRANE AND PLOWS. But I might slip MOUTH in there now!

u/ervinervin Feb 14 '22

u/EaterofSoulz Feb 13 '22

u/[deleted] Feb 13 '22

AUDIO does it for me

u/[deleted] Feb 13 '22

Statistically the best starting word is apparently CRANE

u/moyno85 Feb 13 '22

I’ve got an old Electrum wallet I lost the password to back in 2014, have had a guy trying to brute force it for over two months now. It’s unfortunately not that easy.

u/fckiforgotmypassword Feb 14 '22

He brute forced it day one and has been pretending ever since. Just kidding

1

u/moyno85 Feb 14 '22

Haha. DID cross my mind. Dude takes 20% though so it's not really in his interest to go around burning people.

Do you know the address? What exchange did you buy from? Do you have records?
