Oddbean new post about login | logout there are so many combinations you can spend your entire life guessing and you will (probably) never find a wallet with funds
But they just guessed two of them right?
"guessing" literally means choosing 11 random words (and a checksum word) the fact it took him 5 minutes to do this twice is concerning; it should take you just a few seconds to write 12 words twice, not minutes! 😂
Every combination is valid so there's no "wrong" guess
There's a possibility that someone was dumb and is actually using a seed with a simple repeating spurred or phrase, like "bacon" repeated 12 times results in a valid seed with checksum. I've actually thought of looking for one...
Probably there are script that run every minute checking this sort of obvious seeds, ready to wipe them
bacon bacon bacon bacon bacon bacon bacon bacon bacon bacon bacon bacon nasty banana nasty banana nasty banana nasty banana nasty banana nasty banana one two three fork one two three fork one two three fork etc. I am sure the checksums aren't all correct on those, but you get the idea.
