I have a question. Recently there was a flood and a notebook containing a offline wallet was damage and it destroyed part of a WIF private key, so now I basically have:

Kw?HuhHuhHuh(I have the next 40 characters, just not posting for obvious reasons), so I am missing 10 characters in all.

I also have the public key. Is it possible to use this software to start a search at Kw... and iterate over the missing 10 characters with the known 40 characters also in the key.

For example : 1GuqEWwH5iRZ89oo5xw26FqmyZFMWZrtPi - is the public address

and for the WIF private key I'd have Kw?HuhHuh???JzXaqU2rcFSoaLaehAQHqoQX1cWCo92tAA3ihLJ7

Any advice is appreciated and examples are even more appreciated Smiley

Thank you,
