Interesting. But how would you recover a wallet without having any access to the keys, phrases or other sensitive data? That is technically impossible. If that data is provided and the wallet is recovered, then you would have access to all the funds in it. Upfront payment doesn't make sense because after recovering a wallet, you will directly have access to the funds.

Interesting to me too. A do not know how the process will work however I will follow this post to see where it goes. I am sure there are people who will need assistance from OP.

Good luck by the way.

I appreciate the follow and the good luck. It's encouraging.

If you're interested in the process feel free to set up an encrypted wallet with your software of choice even if you don't have any coins inside. I'd be happy to run it through my system at no charge so you can get a feel for how I'm operating this. Just keep in mind that the length and complexity of the password determine the time it can take to crack so it may not be worth it to try to run a ridiculously long mixed alphanumeric without some kind of reward at the end. Part of the challenge is knowing when to wait for faster hardware to be released. It'll come eventually.

Additionally, not all wallet software has a premade solution for gpu or fpga processing but I'm willing to code whatever is needed. The challenge is really interesting and satisfying once complete so I'd give it a shot regardless of difficulty. I'd only ask that you post here about your experience, positive or negative. Feedback is helpful.

Thanks!
