Hi All

I was wanting to know if anyone could provide me a search command as i am missing 4 characters from my private key base 58.  From the search command how would you know if the private key is valid or not?

My private key starts with K i have 48/49 characters i just require a search command so my friend can complete this for me?

please let me know thanks

You should get the private key with crunch...

Code:
crunch 52 52 123456789ABCDEFGHJKLMNPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijkmnopqrstuvwxyz -t L4rK1yDtCWekvXuE6oXD9jCYfFNV2cWRpVuPLBcCU2z8Tris@@@@ -o bf.txt

But there are two things to consider...

1.-If you have 48 chars or 49... then you add 4 or 3 @ at the end of the command.

2.-If the 4 missing characters are at the end of the string or whats the position of the missing chars because if they are random the chance to recover it is really small.

Thanks it has worked, but the address is not getting accepted into blockchain it say invalid address Private key address? please help
