Now i have another thing despite from the wif damaged

i got the dumped wallet and it contains a secret

can i recover my wallet throght the secret ?

I'm going to assume the wallet is a Bitcoin Core wallet.

It is only possible if the wallet is not encrypted, or if the wallet is encrypted but you remember the password. If the wallet is encrypted it's probably more (theoretically) faster to just brute-force the WIF.


yes you 're right , but the wif brute forcing will take too much time due to it's more than 19 missing characters at known positions .

i have tried BSGS and Pollard Kangaroo with no success , it takes like forever

i have tried also Wif-Solver Cuda and Calculated the stride & Range which is too big and after running it for few hours it still at 0.000 % .

so i ran out of ideas Sad
