Implement brainwallet #1

Open ghost opened 9 months ago

Title says it all really. Allow us to use the btc address as the hash.

Thanks for your interest in the project, however I'm not sure why seedcat would need a brain wallet implementation when using vanilla hashcat is probably sufficient.

The purpose of seedcat is to provide the fastest solution for BIP39 bitcoin wallets which is the modern standard. I didn't want to get sidetracked by alternative standards or altcoins.

Hashcat itself doesn't have brainwallet support.

Sorry for the late reply. I've been trying to find information about brain wallet specs and it seems like the term "brain wallet" is generic and could encompass several different kinds of hash functions.

Do you know if there is a brainwallet spec?
