Hi.
This looks like VERY GOOD piece of software, but I dont understand one thing Smiley

My tougths:

1.) Is it possible to recover part of private key, when I have valid address?

For example:
let's say one of my paper wallet is partialy destroyed, and I have lost 5 or more characters from private, like:

pub: 1DrqrF3JEYB9TXWymz4zGoEzM5i75JMLFB
priv: L3Wji4b***4Po3vo2gmi42Y2kbbxtnpAfQ5wJx11BgNr****8v3Q

Would be EXTREMALY usefull for paperwallet users!

Regards.
Is BitCrack have the option to recover address from a given 64 characters hex private key 'cause i have a paper wallet with faded private key but the address is still instact, it's look like this
Code:
privkey: *******4A875F34E5B11FA0453782E17F1B6FCBC77921614364E4AF62C7EF131
address (uncompressed): 1EGA57u7gQQTRgAy3D9q3n52Nw********
it's only lost 7 characters but seem possible to recover
