Thanks for this info.
It seems I do not have the actual json file at all!
I followed this video to recover my json file from blockchain.com:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f63FpoTKwSwBut it shows random info in the Response section instead of showing the actual payload file.
By the way, I did check your website, but it does not say how to recover seeds from the mnemonic phrases?
Thanks.
The golden question now is: What to do now?
Haven't you noticed already?
The inconsistencies in the command/arg that it has given you and the way it corrects itself?
I'm seeing that you're quite versed on using commands so I'll just point you to btcrecover's help menu:
python btcrecover.py -h
That'll show you a list of available command line arguments and with explanation of each.
I am sorry I cannot post back to back responses, but I was not ignoring your posts either.
