One cautionary tale for you. Justpaste.it is a page that offers exactly what you do - free, anonymous sharing of formatted pages, with images and all. Accessible at Tor, very lightweight. Because it was so easy and anonymous, it started being used mostly by Islamic State to share their propaganda; so much that they needed to remove the "most popular" feature (as it was always either beheadings or other propaganda). h…

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I think you meant 1000^5?

Most definitely 1000^5. = 10^15 ~= 2^50 As long as the system to delete isn't fast, or has a max-tries-delay mechanism, it should be fine.

For anyone considering creating private keys, 2^50 is borderline ok, but nowhere near safe to give someone true ownership of something, and I'm not just saying for some theoretical argument. 2^256 is considered extremely safe (altho arguably not quantum resistant depending on the hashing algo) See Bitcoin bips for an (optionally i18n) list of 2048 words that is fairly standard and several libs can help with implementation. Pick at least 10 words - don't worry, users won't remember either number of words for life, they have to back up somewhere safe anyway. https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0039/bip-003...
