BIP39 brute-force complexity (or how hard it is to break someone's secret words)

Yes, I did read the post.

What I see is it is very hard to generate every wallet with all combinations. Also it is very hard to specifically guess my wallet address one time. People win the lottery all the time and that is a random number. Yes there are 12 words that would need to be guessed.

I just don’t know why someone would not write a program to randomly recreate a wallet using 12 random words from the list of 2048 to see what they might find.

The odds of finding a random wallet are higher then finding my specific wallet words.

I see what _ilap is saying with his example, I just don’t understand why people won’t try to make programs that will try to guess a random wallet address. Yes, you are going to ask if I read the post and tried to process this but I can’t get past that in my head. For this reason I have my Cardano divided into 3 different wallet addresses. Not keeping all my eggs in one basket.

Maybe I will be more comfortable putting it all in a paper wallet.
