You can use the --seedlist command to process several seeds, but the order of the words must be known. Is it also possible to have several seeds where the positions of the words are not known automatically processed as a batch input?

Hey there, another question. So i managed to get it to run, but now i wonder if its even possible to get the right sequence when i know my 24 words but not 1 right position.
That is a straightforward recovery as far as math goes. Unfortunately BTCRecover doesn't support Tron, though it could if you were prepared to sponsor the feature.
Basically it means directly paying for the feature. It's normally about $500 USD all up. (Half to start and half when the feature is added within two weeks)
Thanks a lot!! Amazing job in a geat comunity. I´m so gratefull to help to recover my sats. Here goes your tip! This is the best community in the world because of awesome people like you!
I followed the whole installation process (Python 3.11.5 and btcrecover) but for some reason when I click to run the "seedrecover" file it starts to open but then immediately closes before fully opening. Any idea what I might have done wrong?
I don’t recall what platform I opened my wallet with and don’t have my seed all I have is my wallet address what would you suggest I do as I see that only knowing 2-3 seed words won’t recover so what do I do for no words and nothing but wallet address…. So lost as to what to do! 😢

Hi, I can't get the next window to pop up after canceling the "Please select you wallet type" It does not show up. I could use some help. The screen for the master public key does not show up.
For some reason, when I run Btcrecover, and attempt select my wallet type it comes up with a FileNotFoundError and won't let me enter a wallet address as outline in the vid. Any ideas on this?
Sounds like you are trying to enter your wallet as a file rather than as a mnemonic or something. (You need to click cancel on the initial file picker)
I took your advice moved 5.00 into my wallet, reset hardwares wallet, restored and verified every sat was there. Then did the same thing after transcribing into metal. So I hope to never feel the lump in my throat of invalid seed phrase.
Hello, thank you for responding, I am doing both, in fact I downloaded again from the link in the description and carried out the step by step, do you provide advice? I have the complete sentence I just think they are in disarray
Hey, I have a Wallet at Coinomi and I have my sede phrase with me, but I only have 23 Words out of the 24 that the seed phrase needs, How can I find this missibh word If I dont have the Adress of my Wallet?
When recovering the mnemonic phrase for DOGE I use the address database because I don't know the address, but for some reason the search doesn't work, although I know exactly that the mnemonic phrase of 24 words is correct, just one of them I deliberately change places or replace with "1" maybe I do something wrong
Firstly, the Doge address database only contains addresses used through to April 2021, so if the seed was first used after then then it won't find anything. If the seed was used to make transaction before this date and still doesn't find anything, then there is either something wrong with how you are running BTCRecover or something else wrong with the seed.
Hello, sir. I have written over 20 million sets of mnemonic phrases into a TXT file, and I am certain that the correct mnemonic phrase is among them. Additionally, I have a wallet address. In this case, how can I use BTCRecover to find the correct mnemonic phrase from the file?
Last four words is basically on the edge of what is practical and will take a few months at least, even if you thelw a tonne of computing power at it. (So it depends on how much the wallet is worth as to whether it will be worthwhile)
@@CryptoGuide If I miss 3 words and know the location of the 3 missing how could I use this script ?It seems to allow only 2 mistakes. (I have the wallet address too)
@CryptoGuide by curiosity ive seen some programs in youtube to brute force mnemonics, just i saw that they can check thousands of addresses per second. i think its impossible because to check an address via a code you need an api but they limit checks to 20 per second. so i think there is no program that can check over 20 address per second, or i maybe wrong
You just use an addressDB to store a list of every address ever used for the chain you want. (Or every address with balance if you don't have enough RAM for that) You can just store this in your RAM so there is no real performance penalty. (So can easily check hundreds of thousands of addresses per second)
BTCRecover doesn't talk to node software over RPC (it has no networking code at all) but rather loads what it needs from an address database. (Which can be created in a variety of ways using scripts that are bundled with BTCRecover, or you can use one of the premade DBs that I distribute on my website that are linked in the documentation) Just watch my video on recovery without an address and give it a try try yourself with a test wallet.
BTCRecover will only output a valid seed, just look closely at it, one of the words will be at least one character different from what you were previously entering in.
hey there, I have 9 of my 12 seed phrases (ETH wallet), and the public address, and the Q is that, should I type some random words in my "best guess" or like 10 11 12 is enough? and where can I change it to 3 mistakes? typos or big typos?
If you were using a BIP39 passphrase then your only option is to work out what it was either manually or using tools like BTCRecover. There is no other way... If you mean that you have lost your 24 word seed phrase, then this is unrecoverable.
Unfortunately that means that there are 18! (18 factorial) possible seeds and even if you can check ~12 billion per day, it will take over a thousand years... (And even if you can get a 1000x speed boost, it will still take almost two years) It might be do-able at some point in the next century, but certainly not recoverable today... I'm sorry for your loss.

Hi, I want to thank you for the cool content on your TH-cam channel. I have a big problem, in the mnemonic phrase 19,20,21 words out of 24 are missing respectively. Is it possible to restore the mnemonic phrase completely? Thank you!!
If you don't know the position of the missing words/typos them you can only be missing two. If you know the position then you can recover if missing three. (So you need the vast majority of the words)
Because Electrum seeds have a much stronger checksum process, especially for 12 word seeds. (So seeds where the checksum fails don't need to be fully hashed)

Not really, you will need to work it out. If you want private one-on-one help or a trusted recovery then you can request is here cryptoguide.tips/recovery-services-consultations/
@@CryptoGuide Yes I did exactly that - even after reinserting the # before the two ETH remarks made due to the 3rd example you made in test video for BTCRecover. But it just stalled just after having entered my Keepkey XRP wallet address. So, I tried using my ETH address on the same Keepkey wallet using the same original seed phrase and it ran for some six plus hours only to report "seed not found". For the XRP stalled results it does say Assertion error: Invalid address, chaecksum error. There's also a 'groestlcoin_hash' not defined.and near the last line: lib.bitcoinlib.encoding.Encoding error: Invaled bech32 character in bech string. Then the Press Enter to exit...I could send you the snapshot of the results after feeding in the xrp address if you like.
Sounds like there is a missing dependency for groestlecoin_hash for XRP. If you want to post it then just open an issue on Github. (As it shouldn't need that module for XRP, but might be missing something to allow this to work properly) If you want a rapid workaround just install the groestlecoin_hash module (it's in the requirements-full.txt) and it should work straight away.
@@CryptoGuide EDIT: Wrong suggestion thanks for the response. That solved my problem. Do you have a way to refer the "third" row (which can be a list of many tokens) in a special way with an expression. It could be nice to have a clear reference to that many tokens when it occurs several places. Also, can you also anwer my questions b and c. Thank you so much,
Hi, Do you have any advice on recovering a lightning enabled wallet? I have used Zap on desktop which is now an abandoned project and the software can't transmit transactions. I can verify the seed is valid in Zap, and check the balance, but can't move the funds to a wallet with working software.
If it's the on-chain stuff then recovery should be straightforward, thought likely uses aezeed, not BIP39 for seeds. The basic process you need is outlined here github.com/openoms/lightning-node-management/blob/en/technicals/restorelndonchainfundsinelectrum.md
I thought I'm going to make money on coinbase wallet, but I was wrong when my 12 seed phrase doesn't work. I'm very desperate and on the verge for giving up. I lost money instead.
Helium uses some non-standard seed type, so it isn't supported by BTCRecover. That said, source for the wallets is available, so it could be added if you wanted to sponsor it.
This will depend on the file associations for Python, have you tried just typing "python seedrecover.py" in the command prompt when in the BTCRecover folder.
@@CryptoGuide Yeah this worked perfectly. Then when trying to run the "pip3 install -r requirements.txt" since it is a Solana wallet I'm trying to recover, an error shows "Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement eth-keyfile~=0.5.1 (from versions: none)." Is there anything we could do? Sry for stupid questions, this is definitely the first time I'm trying a Python command
You will need to install the py-crypto-hd-wallet module. That module will also require some extra stuff in Windows. (C++ build tools for Windows) If it tries to build and fails just look in the error message and it will tell you what you need to get.
It's likely not a wallet seed but more likely something like a legacy blockchain.info wallet recovery phrase. (15, 17 or 21 words long) (Though it's likely if it's 2009 that it is just the password for a Bitcoin core wallet, or simply a password for some custodial service that no longer exists) The first step is working out whether the words are part of a common wordlist.
I was click in on advertising n some surveys in a program that pays u with bitcoins. That program opens a btc adress for u and gives the seeds with warnings. Of course there was ur btc adress also. No passwords. Would u show me some ways to recover?
Trying to use seedrecover for an ETH wallet. 12 words plus a passphrase ("13th"). I'm missing one or two words. For a few of the seed positions, I have a few words to try so I'm using a token list file. I can't figure out how to run it and insert missing words and use a token list file. I'm trying: python3 seedrecover.py --big-typos 1 --no-dupchecks --mnemonic-length 12 --language EN --dsw --wallet-type ethereum --addr-limit 1 --addrs --tokenlist --bip32-path "m/44'/60'/0'/0" --passphrase-list --no-eta --listseeds and I get no output. If I put an X or bad word in for a placeholder it tries to use the literal placeholder and says they are all invalid mnemonics. Not sure if I'm using the typos flag the right way or if I need that. I can use the GUI and paste in 11 words with test data and it worked. But I need to try a few different words in some of the seed places. Thank you!!!!
@@CryptoGuide Because I know the position of some of the words so I was using ^1^wordA etc. And a few of the places I have a few words to guess (^5^wordA ^5^wordB) If I'm missing two words, I wanted to cut down guesses by specifying the position of most of the words. Can I do this without a token list? I thought GUI only takes seed list and tries every combo?
I have ETH address, 12 words + passphrase, I'm missing two words, and for a few of the placeholders I have a few words to guess. I could not find that scenario in the docs so I tried to build it with a token list to cut down on guesses but it's my first time using the tool so I might be on the wrong track. Thanks so much.
I just went through all this comments now and am confused is there a way I can recover my 12 misplaced seed phrase for trust wallet? I have the 12words but don't know which comes before one.
Hey! I have the first 58 hex characters for a Nano (XNO) private key, generated with Nault (wallet), and the corresponding address as well. Is there a specific video of yours, or perhaps a site/program i can use to bruteforce the remaining 6 characters? As always, I appreciate your time!
BTCRecover doesn't currently support Nano, but the math behind what you are describing would be a straightforward recovery in terms of the math. If you want to either directly sponsor the feature or go through a trusted recovery, the you can fill out the webform here: cryptoguide.tips/recovery-services-consultations/
Hmm. Well, I did leave out that this is actually a "game" or a puzzle of sorts hosted by someone in a faucet chat. Whereas they reveal 1 character a day and its a free for all as to whoever can sweep the funds first. Im all for sharing some of those with you, but it is just 30 xno total (currently). And as far as computing, less than 17m possible combos isnt much.. Just too much by hand and i know nothing about coding. I guess i was just hoping there was something existing already. 🤷 still appreciate the reply, thats just rare these days in general. 😎
BTCRecover doesn't currently support Cosmos, but it would be straightforward to add it if you wanted to sponsor it. (Atomic is a crap wallet that often doesn't follow standards, but in this instance it actually does for Atom, so that's good) Once implemented a single missing word recovery would take about 10 minutes.
Can it be done with a ledger xrp wallet, I am not sure what happened, trying to send crypto my keys have never changed maybe I missed a word not sure, where I went wrong! But I have my original 24 words that never changed, so maybe I missed one or two
@ long story short, I moved my crypto from Coinbase 3 years ago into ledger, haven’t touched it since, I went to move my crypto few weeks ago and all of a sudden my seed words don’t match, done all the update and I keep getting the same message that my seed words don’t match, don’t understand how this happened, when any send or received transaction has to get approved through the ledger, and the only time I reset my ledger has been now and when I say reset , has been with my seed words,since that is what it saids to do on ledgers help videos! Thank you for your help
Basically some time in that three years one of two things happened. You changed the seed (so wiped/reset the device) or changed the passphrase that you were using. (Including possibly a passphrase that you had assigned to a secondary PIN) The only other alternative is that you have multiple Ledger devices and are using entirely the wrong one.
@ thank you for your help, I never had a pass phrase.From that day I remember I transferred my crypto from Coinbase, approved it through my ledger and didn’t touch it up until 2 weeks ago, I’m going to try the bitcoin recovery tool and see, but apart from that nothing much I can do, thank you for your help!

Hello Crypto Guide, my hardware wallet ledger nano s tells me that the seed from the 24 words is wrong. Installed the BTC Recover program on Linux Mint and entered my seed. The program says the seed is okay. Why can't I restore the wallet with the ledger or an online wallet? Where is the mistake? Thank you for your help.
If BTCRecover says the seed is correct then it's correct... My suggestion is that you write down the seed, found by BTCRecover, then restore your wallet from that. There are a number of BIP39 words that are visually similar to each other and you likely have either one word wrong, or are just making a mistake entering it.
@@CryptoGuide Thank you for your quick response. The seed that BTCrecover finds is exactly the same as the seed that I noted down when installing the ledger nano s. However, it is not taken from any wallet when it is entered. Could it be that I accidentally changed something in the ledger live settings or accidentally set up a passphrase? Does the BTCrecover notice when a passphrase is additionally activated?
If you are using an address from the specific account that you are trying to access, then it has found the correct seed... (And if it found it without you needing to add the passphrase in BTCRecover then you didn't use a passphrase for that account)
@@CryptoGuide Thank you for the impressive program. I found the error in my seed. I confused SOFT and SORT. Thank you again for your work. I would like to make a donation to you. Without your program, I would probably not have found the error.

Sounds like you have either for the wrong seed (and would then also have the first account be incorrect) or have imported a seed from a hardware wallet and used a passphrase. The derivation is deterministic, so it's not possible to have some addresses correct and other not for a given seed.

So i managed to get it to run, but now i wonder if its even possible to get the right sequence when i know my 24 words but not 1 right position.

That is a straightforward recovery as far as math goes. Unfortunately BTCRecover doesn't support Tron, though it could if you were prepared to sponsor the feature.
So are there any ways to create a new wallet with 9 available words?
Not without implementating it in BTCRecover (or a similar tool) and using the 9 words and the address from the wallet to recover the missing three.
Hi, does BTCRecover support checking which word of 24 Seed phrase is wrong on Maiar Wallet / EGLD Blockchain?
Doesn't currently support elrond, but the feature could be added if you want to sponsor it.
What does sponsoring mean, is it worth for me if at the moment I have around 3k$ in my wallet?
Basically it means directly paying for the feature. It's normally about $500 USD all up. (Half to start and half when the feature is added within two weeks)
the pbkdf2 uses 2048 interations, and each iteration takes 2 sha 512. so in total 4096 sha 512. can i know why 2048 iterations = 4096 sha 512 ?
In the context of BIP39, pbkdf2 is using hmac-sha512, not just pure sha512, so performs the hash twice for each iteration

Hello , what should we do if we want to find 12 word? someone can help
How many of the seed words do you have?
If you are missing all of them, then you can't recover the seed. (It's just math)
Hi , i have my 12 seeds , but i forgot my passphrase , can i use btcrecover to recover my passpharse ? Tnx
If you have some idea of what it might be, yes
I followed the whole installation process (Python 3.11.5 and btcrecover) but for some reason when I click to run the "seedrecover" file it starts to open but then immediately closes before fully opening. Any idea what I might have done wrong?
Have you tried just running it from the command prompt?
I don’t recall what platform I opened my wallet with and don’t have my seed all I have is my wallet address what would you suggest I do as I see that only knowing 2-3 seed words won’t recover so what do I do for no words and nothing but wallet address…. So lost as to what to do! 😢
If all you have is a wallet address than you have nothing. Your only hope is to find the mnemonic or a working copy of the wallet you originally used.
How to rearrange 12 mnemonics seed phrase of Chainx without knowing the actual arrangement?
I have the 12 mnemonics seed but I don't know the correct order
If you have the wallet address then just follow the process in my video on descrambling with BTCRecover
Does this work on exodus wallets? If it does, does it have it to be VET address only?
Yes it works with VET, can be any of the addresses from cryptos that BTCRecover supports.
@@CryptoGuide thank you for the reply sir! One last question, I have 10/12 words for my wallet but I don’t have an address is it still possible to do?
10/12 words is no problem, but it might take a few hours depending on your CPU
Using the 'en' wordlist.
'11' was in your seed, but there is no similar seed word.
'12' was in your seed, but there is no similar seed word.
Assuming a 12 word mnemonic. (This can be overridden with --mnemonic-length)

Either the missing words aren't 11 or 12 or you are messing up the process. Just generate a test wallet first and make sure you are doing everything else right.
@@CryptoGuide it is the last 2 words i lost
itested with sample wallet it came ,please help me to sort out it is a btc wallet with 10 seed phrase i remember last 2 words i forgot
If the test wallet worked but the actual one didn't then you have other issues with the seed.
@@CryptoGuide i want for btc wallet
I have a metamask secret phrase, but the problem is that it is not complete and I only have 10 words out of the 12. From there I don't have anything else, nor an address or anything. I only have those few words of the secret phrase. I wouldn't know what else to do.
Sounds like a straightforward recovery. Just use an address database.
@@CryptoGuideWhich address would I use or which file would I look for?
If you used it with Ethereum then just an eth address database.

Hi, I can't get the next window to pop up after canceling the "Please select you wallet type" It does not show up. I could use some help. The screen for the master public key does not show up.
Are there any errors that show up in the command prompt window?
For some reason, when I run Btcrecover, and attempt select my wallet type it comes up with a FileNotFoundError and won't let me enter a wallet address as outline in the vid. Any ideas on this?
Sounds like you are trying to enter your wallet as a file rather than as a mnemonic or something. (You need to click cancel on the initial file picker)
@@CryptoGuide, no I’m clicking cancel, but the file not found error comes up immediately after. Doesn’t give me the option to add my wallet address.
You are probably just doing something basic wrong, like not running BTCRecover from within the BTCRecover folder.
I took your advice moved 5.00 into my wallet, reset hardwares wallet, restored and verified every sat was there. Then did the same thing after transcribing into metal. So I hope to never feel the lump in my throat of invalid seed phrase.
This is the way :)
BTCRecover is the tool that you never want to need.

Hey, I have a Wallet at Coinomi and I have my sede phrase with me, but I only have 23 Words out of the 24 that the seed phrase needs, How can I find this missibh word If I dont have the Adress of my Wallet?
What coins/chains were you using with it?
When recovering the mnemonic phrase for DOGE I use the address database because I don't know the address, but for some reason the search doesn't work, although I know exactly that the mnemonic phrase of 24 words is correct, just one of them I deliberately change places or replace with "1" maybe I do something wrong
Firstly, the Doge address database only contains addresses used through to April 2021, so if the seed was first used after then then it won't find anything.
If the seed was used to make transaction before this date and still doesn't find anything, then there is either something wrong with how you are running BTCRecover or something else wrong with the seed.
Hello, sir. I have written over 20 million sets of mnemonic phrases into a TXT file, and I am certain that the correct mnemonic phrase is among them. Additionally, I have a wallet address. In this case, how can I use BTCRecover to find the correct mnemonic phrase from the file?
Just pass that list as a seedlist
I have the wallet address and missing the 4 last words. Any chance to use this ?
Last four words is basically on the edge of what is practical and will take a few months at least, even if you thelw a tonne of computing power at it. (So it depends on how much the wallet is worth as to whether it will be worthwhile)
@@CryptoGuide If I miss 3 words and know the location of the 3 missing how could I use this script ?It seems to allow only 2 mistakes. (I have the wallet address too)
Just use the command line arguments to set big typos to three and add placeholders for the missing words.
@@CryptoGuide great ! but Would you have a tutorial for that ? not really good in coding/python
It's mostly covered in my video on recovery with missing words. The rest can be seen with the --help argument.
how to check many addresses per second, like blockchain explorers have a limit of 20 addresses per second.
What are you actually trying to do? Are you asking how an addressdb can work?
@CryptoGuide by curiosity ive seen some programs in youtube to brute force mnemonics, just i saw that they can check thousands of addresses per second.
i think its impossible because to check an address via a code you need an api but they limit checks to 20 per second. so i think there is no program that can check over 20 address per second, or i maybe wrong
You just use an addressDB to store a list of every address ever used for the chain you want. (Or every address with balance if you don't have enough RAM for that) You can just store this in your RAM so there is no real performance penalty. (So can easily check hundreds of thousands of addresses per second)
@CryptoGuide do you mean download the entire blockchain and use rpc request on the code ?
BTCRecover doesn't talk to node software over RPC (it has no networking code at all) but rather loads what it needs from an address database. (Which can be created in a variety of ways using scripts that are bundled with BTCRecover, or you can use one of the premade DBs that I distribute on my website that are linked in the documentation)
Just watch my video on recovery without an address and give it a try try yourself with a test wallet.
i did what was asked and the seed i got was the same i entered, so of course my ledger still doesnt accept my recovery phrase, what could i do?
BTCRecover will only output a valid seed, just look closely at it, one of the words will be at least one character different from what you were previously entering in.
is there a way to figure out the seed if you are missing 3 words out of 12, but you dont have an address or remember which blockchain its with
Do you know the position of the missing words? It will also depend on which chain, so you need to work that out at least.
@@CryptoGuide yes the first two and the last, and i know half of the address, found it is on the btc chain, is it recoverable?
Yea that's straightforward.
@@CryptoGuide How do i search with half the address
You don't, just use an address database.
hey there, I have 9 of my 12 seed phrases (ETH wallet), and the public address, and the Q is that, should I type some random words in my "best guess" or like 10 11 12 is enough? and where can I change it to 3 mistakes? typos or big typos?
Just put in placeholders and specify big typos in the command line.
@@CryptoGuide how can specify big typos in the command line? Is there a tutorial?
It's the same as all other arguments, just add --help and it will show you everything
what is the Derivation paths for XLM (stellar) i am still struggling to try and recover my Lobstr Vault seed phrase - thank you for your time
You don't need any derivation paths, just select the relevant coin/chain.
I have a ledger hardware wallet that I cannot remember the passphrase for. What is my best option. Thanks in advance
If you were using a BIP39 passphrase then your only option is to work out what it was either manually or using tools like BTCRecover. There is no other way...
If you mean that you have lost your 24 word seed phrase, then this is unrecoverable.
I have 24 electrum seed word that scrambled, how can i recover it?
Unfortunately not unless you know the position of at least 10 of the words.
@@abbyabby7735 what do you mean?
Do you know the position of at least 10/24 of the words. (Or is the ordering of the words totally unknown)
@@CryptoGuide i have only six correct order word
Unfortunately that means that there are 18! (18 factorial) possible seeds and even if you can check ~12 billion per day, it will take over a thousand years... (And even if you can get a 1000x speed boost, it will still take almost two years)
It might be do-able at some point in the next century, but certainly not recoverable today...

Hi, I want to thank you for the cool content on your TH-cam channel. I have a big problem, in the mnemonic phrase 19,20,21 words out of 24 are missing respectively. Is it possible to restore the mnemonic phrase completely? Thank you!!
Yep, three missing words with known position is a straightforward recovery
What percentage of the seed phrase is needed for a successful recovery?
If you don't know the position of the missing words/typos them you can only be missing two. If you know the position then you can recover if missing three. (So you need the vast majority of the words)
Why are Electrum processes processed so much faster than BIP39 processes?
Because Electrum seeds have a much stronger checksum process, especially for 12 word seeds. (So seeds where the checksum fails don't need to be fully hashed)
Hey crypto guide! Thanks for all the informative videos.

Is it possible to process several tokenlists in one command?
Not currently
None of the examples features xrp on a keepkey. Do you have examples on Keepkey please? Thanks.
The fact that it's a keepkey is irrelevant. Just use the same process and select XRP when asked which wallet type.
@@CryptoGuide Yes I did exactly that - even after reinserting the # before the two ETH remarks made due to the 3rd example you made in test video for BTCRecover. But it just stalled just after having entered my Keepkey XRP wallet address. So, I tried using my ETH address on the same Keepkey wallet using the same original seed phrase and it ran for some six plus hours only to report "seed not found". For the XRP stalled results it does say Assertion error: Invalid address, chaecksum error. There's also a 'groestlcoin_hash' not defined.and near the last line: lib.bitcoinlib.encoding.Encoding error: Invaled bech32 character in bech string. Then the Press Enter to exit...I could send you the snapshot of the results after feeding in the xrp address if you like.
Sounds like there is a missing dependency for groestlecoin_hash for XRP. If you want to post it then just open an issue on Github. (As it shouldn't need that module for XRP, but might be missing something to allow this to work properly) If you want a rapid workaround just install the groestlecoin_hash module (it's in the requirements-full.txt) and it should work straight away.
Hi Steve, I hope you can help me.
a. How to group tokens? F.i. I have those tokens:
first
second
fstscnd
i want the first and second be combined, like:
firstsecond
but I dont want fstscnd be combined within first nor second, so the combinations below I want not to be tried, f.i.
fstscndfirst
fstscndsecond
b. Casing
Adding the --typos-capslock, it capslock every token, so it doesnt f.i. try this out:
firstSECOND
but it only tries, either everything low case or everything big case, like:
firstsecond
FIRSTSECOND
I could probably use --typos-case, but it complicates a lot when i have 50+ tokens.
c. Inverse
I want to try inversing some tokens and combinations, like.
tsrifsecond
so "first" is inversed and combined with "second".
So for A. Why wouldn't you just put the third time on the same row as the first or second?

Hi there, i ve just 9 words in my mind from the wallet from 2009 or earlier no btc adress, no transaction anyway to get em out? Please?
Seed based wallets didn't exist in 2009, so unless you have the walelt.dat file that went with password, you have nothing.
@@CryptoGuide no i ve seeds for sure. Interesting that program didnt give any passwords. Just seeds
It's likely not a wallet seed but more likely something like a legacy blockchain.info wallet recovery phrase. (15, 17 or 21 words long) (Though it's likely if it's 2009 that it is just the password for a Bitcoin core wallet, or simply a password for some custodial service that no longer exists)
The first step is working out whether the words are part of a common wordlist.

Trying to use seedrecover for an ETH wallet. 12 words plus a passphrase ("13th"). I'm missing one or two words. For a few of the seed positions, I have a few words to try so I'm using a token list file. I can't figure out how to run it and insert missing words and use a token list file. I'm trying:
python3 seedrecover.py --big-typos 1 --no-dupchecks --mnemonic-length 12 --language EN --dsw --wallet-type ethereum --addr-limit 1 --addrs --tokenlist --bip32-path "m/44'/60'/0'/0" --passphrase-list --no-eta --listseeds
and I get no output. If I put an X or bad word in for a placeholder it tries to use the literal placeholder and says they are all invalid mnemonics. Not sure if I'm using the typos flag the right way or if I need that. I can use the GUI and paste in 11 words with test data and it worked. But I need to try a few different words in some of the seed places. Thank you!!!!
Just to clarify, a few words are narrowed down to a few options AND I'm missing a word.
For now, I'm using a token list and on the one or two lines with a missing word I pasted the whole 2048 list and it seems to be working.
So why are you using a tokenlist and not just standard operation with some placeholders?
@@CryptoGuide Because I know the position of some of the words so I was using ^1^wordA etc. And a few of the places I have a few words to guess (^5^wordA ^5^wordB) If I'm missing two words, I wanted to cut down guesses by specifying the position of most of the words. Can I do this without a token list? I thought GUI only takes seed list and tries every combo?
I have ETH address, 12 words + passphrase, I'm missing two words, and for a few of the placeholders I have a few words to guess. I could not find that scenario in the docs so I tried to build it with a token list to cut down on guesses but it's my first time using the tool so I might be on the wrong track. Thanks so much.
I just went through all this comments now and am confused is there a way I can recover my 12 misplaced seed phrase for trust wallet? I have the 12words but don't know which comes before one.

Whereas they reveal 1 character a day and its a free for all as to whoever can sweep the funds first. Im all for sharing some of those with you, but it is just 30 xno total (currently). And as far as computing, less than 17m possible combos isnt much.. Just too much by hand and i know nothing about coding.

I reply to everything, but yea, it certainly won't be worth anyones while doing this for $20 ;)
Missing a word from my atomic wallet, had some cosmos on it. Would this work for me? I have the address used to receive atom.
BTCRecover doesn't currently support Cosmos, but it would be straightforward to add it if you wanted to sponsor it. (Atomic is a crap wallet that often doesn't follow standards, but in this instance it actually does for Atom, so that's good) Once implemented a single missing word recovery would take about 10 minutes.
Is there a way to recover an atomic wallet with 1 missing word from my seed ?
Do you have any addresses associated the wallet? (Should be straightforward if it's a coin/chain that BTCRecover supports)
@@CryptoGuide Yep : band1atdl0grsl8caps...........................
So which coin/chain is that from? (It may not be supported by BTCRecover at this time)
@@CryptoGuide I think it's band chain, token "BAND". I do have the adress' history on cosmos explorer. I hope I'm clear?
BTCRecover doesn't currently support band protocol, but it could be added if you wanted to sponsor it either directly or as a trusted recovery.
Can it be done with a ledger xrp wallet, I am not sure what happened, trying to send crypto my keys have never changed maybe I missed a word not sure, where I went wrong! But I have my original 24 words that never changed, so maybe I missed one or two
BTCRecover supports XRP.
Are you saying that you wiped the device and are now getting a message that your seed is invalid?
@ long story short, I moved my crypto from Coinbase 3 years ago into ledger, haven’t touched it since, I went to move my crypto few weeks ago and all of a sudden my seed words don’t match, done all the update and I keep getting the same message that my seed words don’t match, don’t understand how this happened, when any send or received transaction has to get approved through the ledger, and the only time I reset my ledger has been now and when I say reset , has been with my seed words,since that is what it saids to do on ledgers help videos! Thank you for your help
Basically some time in that three years one of two things happened. You changed the seed (so wiped/reset the device) or changed the passphrase that you were using. (Including possibly a passphrase that you had assigned to a secondary PIN)
The only other alternative is that you have multiple Ledger devices and are using entirely the wrong one.
@ thank you for your help, I never had a pass phrase.From that day I remember I transferred my crypto from Coinbase, approved it through my ledger and didn’t touch it up until 2 weeks ago, I’m going to try the bitcoin recovery tool and see, but apart from that nothing much I can do, thank you for your help! Will be in contact with you if it works, have a good day
Sounds like you wiped the device at some point and reinitialized it with a different seed.
ive lost the last word of a seed phrase for my gala wallet ,hoping i can get help
Gala is just an eth token so it should be a straightforward recovery.
@@CryptoGuide That's such good news ,which program do i use BTCrecover ?
BTCRecover with all the defaults. Just follow my most recent video on it.

Hello Crypto Guide,
my hardware wallet ledger nano s tells me that the seed from the 24 words is wrong. Installed the BTC Recover program on Linux Mint and entered my seed. The program says the seed is okay. Why can't I restore the wallet with the ledger or an online wallet? Where is the mistake? Thank you for your help.
If BTCRecover says the seed is correct then it's correct...
My suggestion is that you write down the seed, found by BTCRecover, then restore your wallet from that. There are a number of BIP39 words that are visually similar to each other and you likely have either one word wrong, or are just making a mistake entering it.
@@CryptoGuide Thank you for your quick response. The seed that BTCrecover finds is exactly the same as the seed that I noted down when installing the ledger nano s. However, it is not taken from any wallet when it is entered. Could it be that I accidentally changed something in the ledger live settings or accidentally set up a passphrase? Does the BTCrecover notice when a passphrase is additionally activated?
If you are using an address from the specific account that you are trying to access, then it has found the correct seed... (And if it found it without you needing to add the passphrase in BTCRecover then you didn't use a passphrase for that account)
@@CryptoGuide Thank you for the impressive program. I found the error in my seed. I confused SOFT and SORT. Thank you again for your work. I would like to make a donation to you. Without your program, I would probably not have found the error.
Hey R T, good to hear, SOFT and SORT are about as visually similar as it gets :)
feel free to shoot me a tip at www.reddit.com/user/Crypto-Guide/comments/czy13u/a_post_or_video_of_mine_was_helpful_feel_free_to/ :)
sorry to bother again, can I use this having 3 wrong words and all of the other 9 correct in the correct order?
Yep
if i don't have any of the phrases for exodus how would i go about getting them if i have the wallet id? i have everything installed and ready to go but exodus deleted my old account and now i don't have any access to my doge
If you have zero of the seed words and no wallet data then this is an unrecoverable loss.
@@CryptoGuide i have the wallet id just not the phrases? so it's still unrecoverable?
I don't even know what you mean by wallet ID, but without the seed or wallet data it won't help as Exodus is non-custodial
@@CryptoGuide i meant wallet address, sorry lol
Unfortunately the address doesn't help unless you have most (9/12) of the seed words
Can BTCRecover find three mistakes in a seed phrase and how long would this take on average? Do you have a link to how to set this up outside of the defaults in the software?
Can I use numbers where the missing words are or does it have to letters?
For the mistakes you will need to know the position of at least some of the dodgy words. Just specify more --big-typos
You can use any non-bip39 word or symbol to mark the position of a known missing word.
hello , good video here. I try running seedrecover from my file but its not opening up in cmd . Any help pls
So have you followed my installation guide videos on it?
If I have only BTC address (No password , No 12 word). Can I recovery it ?
No. You will need the seed phrase or a working copy of the wallet that created it.
Quick question- which wallet file do I select for pkt world cpu miner seed format error? Is it just btc or electrum bip39 ? Thx
Never heard of that, though it's likely BIP 39
Pkt pal ,pkt cash ,packetcrypt - running the standard btcrecover because electrum failed..can you give me a tip on which doc to read ? When I have seed words,pass phrase and public address for this wallet? Cheers
btcrecover.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
It says sorry, seed not found :(( im missing 2 words and i know where they are located(10/12) Tested it with a different address and seed phrase and it works when i erase 2 words. I need help :((
Which wallet did you use to generate the seed? Which coin are you using for the address?
@@CryptoGuide I used the ronin wallet to generate the seed. The wallet contains erc 20 tokens like axie and some slp
does it matter that im using python 3.8.4 arc1 just like in your video? Or should i use the latest patch? Is there any significant difference?
Doesn't matter which version of Python you use.
is this still active? for my bech32
Yep
Sir I have a question regarding a ronin wallet, I have two accounts there but when I put the seed phrase only the first account appeared.I tried to click the create account option in ronin to check if my 2nd account will appear but the wallet address was different...can btc recovery help me with my issue??
Are you sure that it was the second account and not the third or fourth?
@@CryptoGuide yes it is a second account,the account in skymavis is active but the specific wallet address does not appear even if use create account multiple times. Kindly recommend a probable solution if available.thanks
Sounds like you have either for the wrong seed (and would then also have the first account be incorrect) or have imported a seed from a hardware wallet and used a passphrase.
The derivation is deterministic, so it's not possible to have some addresses correct and other not for a given seed.
Will this work on the keplr wallet 24-word
If you are provided an address for a supported chain (like Cosmos for Keplr) then it will work fine.

Hi, I have lost access to my metamask and the old computer is lost. I know my password but have lost the SRP. Is there anyway to recover metamask..kindly help
Unfortunately the password is only useful if you have the Metamask extension data (so the old PC that you lost) so if you have also lost your recovery phrase, the it sounds like you have caused an unrecoverable loss.
