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**********(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**********JzXaqU2rcFSoaLaehAQHqoQX1cWCo92tAA3ihLJ7

basically I want to always have search for private key start at 'Kw', then search for missing 10, and end with 'JzXaqU2rcFSoaLaehAQHqoQX1cWCo92tAA3ihLJ7'

Any advice is appreciated and examples are even more appreciated

Thank you,
S.
