Successful launch of btcrecover. With three words missing (bigtypos 3), it uses astronomical amounts of ram and the computer freezes.
Computer freezing is normal since this types of application use all your CPU cores and don't leave that much to other applications. But to be honest using a lot of RAM is very strange. There isn't that much data that could be cached and reused in brute forcing a mnemonic, and when I say not much I mean 100s of bytes not even 1 kbyte!

I have read the instructions for btcrevocer and I wonder if it is possible to set using regex, for example words starting with the given letter "a% b% c%"?
Is it possible to enter the address, words completely from the command line ?
I know you can create token files when recovering passwords but I'm not sure how to use this or the command line for mnemonic recovery.
Paging @o_e_l_e_o for help...

The speed I reported was based on the other project: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5214021.0
