Practical overview
When it fits
Use it for code-level study of passphrase-to-address derivation or an authorized candidate-phrase check when you can provide the required word file and manage the local Python setup.
Who it is for
- People studying how brain-wallet passphrases are converted into Bitcoin keys and addresses.
- Users checking candidate phrases they are authorized to assess.
Documented uses
- Derive a Bitcoin private key and address from a passphrase.
- Scan candidate words and record scan counts and addresses identified with transactions or balances.

- The README recommends vBrain.py and requires an alphabet word text file at a specified path for that script.
- The listed dependencies are colorama, ecdsa, and rich.
- The README mentions an online-mode script, xBrainOn.py, but does not document it as an API or explain its operation.
Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
