With BTCrecover I am running my seedtoken off an address.db file. When I tried to use the electrum 1.* option, I got the error saying there was a conflict with 'lang' and I have no idea what that means yet.

Oh, that's pertaining to
--language arg that you've included to the command.
I've tested it and apparently, selecting "
electrum 1.x" will prohibit you from using certain args like
--mnemonic-length as well as
--tokenlist.
It'll ask about your "
best guess" of the mnemonic instead, then proceed to do its programmed 5-phase bruteforce attack (
if used the deafult) to the provided phrase.
(
pretty much the same in the old original version of BTCRecover)
I tested BTCRecover v.1.12.0 (
seedrecover.py) with an easy 'wrong seed' with 1 wrong word:

--Correct mnemonic seed in the POP-UP--
Yours should be provided with
--big-typos 8 arg to limit it to 1 phase with "
8" being the number of possible "
entirely different seed words".
And that's quite a lot of search space and I don't know how to optimize the bruteforce for electrum 1.x seed in seedrecover though.
Note: this is considering that your mnemonic seed is created in versions 0.34 and above, otherwise you'l have to "
ask" someone to modify the seedrecover code to mimic the old bug.
The work and knowledge you shared with the others is invaluable to me. I have a lot of work to do in the coming days. I will configure my BTCrecover either on the current POP OS or try to get a flavor that can get pyopencl running correctly for GPU acceleration. I will then go over the different Electrum versions while trying to get the V-1.* derivation path to work along with the other possible avenues of approach discussed. Might take me some days but I will update the progress as it rolls out.
