I don't mean to be rude. It's not me, but you who aren't listening. I don't need somebody's money. I'm trying to recover my funds. Even though everybody tells me that it's not possible. I've read about folks from LBC or BLC or whatever it is...has nothing to do with me or my goals. I would be gratefull to anybody who has something to say about a working script, besides the prognosis with possibilities rates.
Okay, I'm sorry if I was harsh earlier.
The thing is lots of people come here thinking they can magically generate addresses that already have Bitcoins, neglecting the fact that it bitcoin's security model was so easily broken then no one would use it at all and it wouldn't have any value.


That aside, for what you want to work, you'll need most parts of your private key or mnemonic seed phrase, then the search space would be reduced exponentially and you wouldn't have to do as much work.
However, if you do not have anything apart from the address, then there's nothing you can do because trying to generate YOUR Address is as hard as trying to generate any specific address (even those of exchanges with billions of dollars worth) and as you can see that is pretty much impossible even though you have all the computing power in the world.

So you need something to work with apart from the bitcoin addresses or you're SOL.
That's the way crypto is.
