Like other anons said, why use something with limited attempts?
Strong enough password/passphrase and you don't need prevention against brute force as you would be long dead before it gets unlocked.

okay, I've been in crypro for years but I never got the harddrive thing. Can someone explain it to me?

I keep my coins on a hardware wallet, I also have a paperwallet and some shit on several exchanges.
How do people even store coins on a harddrive? Don't you need a wallet that can always be restored with the seed phrase anyways? Even with an ecrypted USB Dive / Harddrive you could alway access your shit with the seed phrase no? I don't get it guys don't let me die dumb.

>> No.25915633

>>25914543
Everything is stored on the blockchain (basically a list with all transactions on it, that is shared by every miner).
Your wallet basically consists of two things. An encryption key (public key) and decryption key (private key). One receives bitcoins and the other allows you to access the wallet and send bitcoins.
On a hardware wallet, paper wallet or exchange you only store the public and private key. So basically two rows of numbers.

Lockout procedures are incredibly retarded from a cryptographic point of view when you actually think about it. Assuming someone gets in a position where they have access to enter passwords into your system there are two alternatives: there's a certain chance you are deprived of your assets after a large number of guesses, or there's a 100% chance you are deprived of your assets after a small number of guesses. While one involves the attacker getting your assets and the other doesn't, the result is the same for you. If anything it would be better if the attacker got them because there would be some chance for legally-mandated asset recovery, rather than it being lost forever to the void.
