Chess Wallet

A brain wallet that is rememberable.

Instead of remembering 24 words in a right order you have instead to remember the setup of a chessboard. This setup will be the entropy to your 24 words/ to your bitcoins.

Quality of entropy

A chessboard has 8 by 8 squares. Which equals 64 squares in totall. There are 13 diffrent states(pieces being on them) one square can be in, including empty. So there are 64^13 possible combinations. Thats 302,231,455,000,000,000,000,000 or 0.302 Septillion possibilities

This entropy guide instructs you on what to input.
However the Chess-Wallet can be used to input any entropy.

- A weak entropy will result in losing your funds. Here is a good explanation on that by Andreas.
- This was only designed for Bitcoin. No other shitcoin.
- I take no responsibility of my code. If you lose your Bitcoins its your fault.
- You can review the code yourself before using it. I added alot of comments into the code to make it more understandable.
