Re: I have a 12 word seed phrase that appears to be wrong (Ethereum)
Hello everyone...
Hopefully this is the right place to post something like this.
12 ETH was sent to a new Metamask wallet, and the seedphrase written down. We have all 12 words.
But when we try to restore the wallet, all associated addresses seem to be empty.
Does anyone know any software too partially crack Ethereum seed phrases? (Try combinations of similar words)
Same sad story for newbie to visit phishing address. This same story repeat by new members. Several times experts suggest to visit legit address and check several times. Another thing should check before send coin, login your wallet to check 12 words or private wallet is perfectly notedHopefully this is the right place to post something like this.

As explained above multiple times now, the ETH is still in the address it was sent too.As far as I know, if the seed is wrong the wallet will refuse to load the address. but why did he say the address seems empty?
before brute-forcing it, have you tried checking the wallet that contains the balance?
this is quite fishy, are you sure the seed is associated with an address that contains a balance inside of it? your friend might lie to you.
I don't know why he would lie to me, as far as I know he has no reason too.before brute-forcing it, have you tried checking the wallet that contains the balance?

The actual seed phrase he gave me checked out, but did not have any balance.
If you inserted a seed into MEW and it gave you access to the list of wallets, then most likely you wrote it down correctly, otherwise you would not have access. Perhaps you just need to carefully look at all the wallets and find the one that contains 12 ETH. I think you just missed it because I had similar situations.
Already tried this with no luck, also tried changing the word he though was wrong to the most similar ones from the English wordlist
