Anyone still working on this? Willing to exchange info privately.
I am still working on it.
And by that I mean still trying to brute force the words I posted above, ofc.

But yes, would be glad to have some more info on this.
Do you have any hope of cracking it?I think you do as since you are still working on this thread which is an old one yet let me ask you a question,why do you think you can brute force this,the probability to crack it as said here is near 0% unless you have a huge amount of hash ready to use it for cracking and even so I doubt you can have any success.
I once told the Dave guy from the wallet recovery services just 5-6 characters from a lost wallet of a friend of mine where he thought he had like 0.20 Bitcoin and he Dave really cracked a 36 password characters code but it was a different thing. If you don't have that high amount of hash why do you even bother?
Both money and a hope for a better future can make people do stuff they otherwise wouldn't even if the chance to succeed in it is ~0%.

And we are talking about 13k USD. For someone as broke as me, that is a goldmine.
If you are still not convinced as to why I would continue to try and solve this puzzle, convert it to INR (my country's currency) and see for yourself.
Besides, this is also the first time I am actively trying to contribute to an online forum.

So, if there's a better to go about it, I am all ears to learn that.
