GM There are 130 words that can be repeated 12 times to form a valid 12 word wallet address. This doesn't work for any of the 2048 BIP39 dictionary of words as the twelfth word is a checksum and so only a limited number of words are valid. But the most interesting one is the word twelve, which was tested yesterday by moving 1,500 Sats in and out: The wallet address was: twelve twelve twelve twelve twelve twelve twelve twelve twelve twelve twelve twelve You can restore the wallet yourself using any wallet software. Here are the 130 words that this works for: action agent aim all ankle announce audit awesome beef believe blue border brand breeze bus business cannon canyon carry cave century cereal chronic coast convince cute dawn dilemma divorce dry elevator else embrace enroll escape evolve exclude excuse exercise expire fetch fever forward fury garment gauge gym half harsh hole hybrid illegal include index into invest involve jeans kick kite later layer legend life lyrics margin melody mom more morning nation neck neglect never noble novel obvious ocean oil orphan oxygen pause peasant permit piano proof pumpkin question real report rough rude salad scale screen sea seat sell seminar seven sheriff siege silver soldier spell split spray stadium sugar sunny sure tobacco tongue track tree trouble twelve twice type uniform useless valid very vibrant virtual vocal warrior word world yellow

For wallet testing I had to type in 12 words so much, I also compiled the list and used "mom" a lot on testnet as it was the quickest to type. The "oil" one should also have transactions from that time.
Is that a short story of somebody getting rugged on mainnet? Cause our wallets had many more transactions on testnet but not necessarily in account 0.
I don't think you need smart contracts to drain these wallets, any old wallet software or bot will drain them in seconds 😂

You just need the 1st 3 letters of every word. Or is it 4 i forget. 3 or 4.
Wallets always make you enter the full words but help you select based on the prefix. Still, you can't get shorter than 3 buttons per word, so it was really annoying to enter. mom and oil are good. oil was better because mom is the prefix to moment. That also answers your doubt about 3 or 4. It's generally 4.
