Single SHA256 Brainwallet

For this type of brainwallets, a passphrase is hashed with one iteration of SHA256, and the resulting output is directly used as a 256 bit private key.

The initial collection of Bitcoin addresses presented here is mostly based on passphrases included in the public privatekeys.pw brainwallet list. (Note that we do not endorse this site or its paid services.) We performed some additional searches for well-known passphrases on top of this initial list.

The Bitcoin addresses represent compressed and uncompressed public keys.

Deliberately weak challenge wallets placed by others:

Due to the nature of brainwallets, the collection is not exhaustive.
