Thanks is there a tool i can use to recover ? as i must have missed a few characters off or could someone help me via private message as i do not want to disclose it on here !!
You could use
The FinderOuter. Compile it from source code or download the released version, run it offline. The program only has 2 options for now and you need the second option ("Missing Base58"). I believe the rest is self explanatory.
It should take a second to find the right key(s) with 3 missing characters.
Disclaimer: I am the developer of The FinderOuter. The project is brand new and in beta, I'll try to add new features (eg. not knowing the missing character locations) to it soon.
