Command:
Code:
seedrecover.py --tokenlist missing7of12.txt --mnemonic-length 12 --language en --addrs 137UeNcZBDdJ1UYCtV7uwcLVwrej2vueum --addr-limit 1 --dsw --no-eta

When i tried this command, i saw this warning message. Do you think OOM could happen after few weeks/months?

Code:
Warning: --no-eta without --no-dupchecks can cause out-of-memory failures while searching

However, it is still worth trying, as there is a chance that the recovery tool can successfully guess the missing seed words based on the words you have.

No, it's not worth trying since it could took 3.57E8 century with single Nvidia 1660 Ti.

Also, it's crucial to note that attempting to recover a lost passphrase or private key through hacking or guessing is not only a bad practice but also illegal in many jurisdictions, it's highly recommended to use official or well-vetted libraries or tools to access or manage the private keys and never share your seed words or private keys with anyone.
