It's been a while since I've been a part of the bitcoin project. Got extremely bitter after Gox collapsed since I had 90% of my holdings on there. After a recent attic cleaning, I found my old drive, which is supposed to have the other 10% (I believe it was in the thousands of bitcoins, definitely more than one thousand, not exactly sure). I tried every possible password combination I could remember, but it didn't work. The only thing I know for sure is that the password is 10 characters long.
This isn't feasible for me to bruteforce on my home computer, so I was wondering if anybody has experience with smarter algorithms that would be able to decode my wallet passphrase in a shorter amount of time (I'm hoping within a week or so). I've been in a financial crunch recently, and to be honest, had mostly forgotten about cryptocurrencies, so finding my old drive was a very welcome surprise. Feels good to be back in the game. Also, if anyone has contacts with some good wallet recoverers, please let me know, and I will do my best to arrange for an in-person meeting.
