Hi, I have been generating and checking some billions different seeds in search for mine with the BTCrecover-tool.
It works by generating addresses from a specific seed and then checking it against a database with all addresses found in the blockchain.
I wonder if it is enough that my address have received balance, and not sent any? I am 99.9% this is the case, but after searching through half of my possible seeds, I am getting a bit nervous.
Just want to make sure that I got everything right.

What exactly are you trying to achieve here?
Do you mean that if it has a balance and not sending the bitcoin to other wallets?
If you are following carefully the methods from BTCrecovery tool receiving address is enough as a reference.
If you are following the methods from this link
https://github.com/gurnec/btcrecover/blob/master/docs/Seedrecover_Quick_Start_Guide.mdFrom that link, you have 4 option to choose and you should only choose one.
Since you choose the 3rd option bitcoin address with balance is enough to add it in recovery tool and let it run.
Make sure that you know partial parts of your seed phrase if you just put randomly it won't work and there is no instant recovery it takes some hours or days or a week to recover.
