Hello everyone...
Hopefully this is the right place to post something like this.
12 ETH was sent to a new Metamask wallet, and the seedphrase written down. We have all 12 words.
But when we try to restore the wallet, all associated addresses seem to be empty.
Does anyone know any software too partially crack Ethereum seed phrases? (Try combinations of similar words)
First there is no software that can partially crack Ethereum seed phrases, once lost that's the end of the wallet, if there is, many people will know about it (nevertheless, I stand to be corrected). Also, try checking the words to ensure they are spelt correctly, check the letters to ensure the are correctly marching the words. However, another idea you can try is, since you said the 12 words are correct, import the wallet to another wallet app like Imtoken or trust wallet or whichever you want; if the words are correct it will import and you can see your assets. Lastly, just a suggestion, in case of another time, write the 12 words twice in different places if possible before completing the wallet creation, just to ensure there is no discrepancies.
To all those who claim that "there is no software for seed phrase recovery" I want to say that you are wrong. Such a program exists! Another question: how long will it take to recover this phrase? Yes, this is a rather long process, especially if you need to restore all 12 words.
However, turning to the author of the topic, I will say this: if you write me your words in a personal message (
wokfjfom@10mail.org), for example, in the first 9-10 words, I can restore your seed phrase using my program and equipment. Yes, I will need some time for this. It all depends on the number of words available.
Since you do not see your funds during normal loading of the seed phrase, I will also have to look for your address in deterministic wallets, which will further delay the recovery process.
I will also need your public address to check the availability of funds in the amount of 12 eth.
What do I want for this? If our partnership is successful, you will give me, of your own free will, 50% of the amount in this wallet.
In this case: You get the opportunity to get back into possession of 50% of the funds from the account, or stay with your useless seminal phrase. For my part: I run the risk of wasting my time and resources (also quite significant) and not finding anything or getting my own 50% for finding a seed phrase. This is an equal partnership. Moreover, I do not know what % of my share will go to pay for electricity and how long it will take. But I can say that at the moment the speed is: 3507.2 seeds per second.
And regarding the fact that some people write, that you wrote down incorrectly or something else, I want to remind everyone of the rules of BIP-39, which read:
https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0039.mediawikiBIP-39: Wordlist
An ideal wordlist has the following characteristics:
a) smart selection of words
- the wordlist is created in such a way that it's enough to type the first four
letters to unambiguously identify the word
b) similar words avoided
- word pairs like "build" and "built", "woman" and "women", or "quick" and "quickly"
not only make remembering the sentence difficult but are also more error
prone and more difficult to guess
c) sorted wordlists
- the wordlist is sorted which allows for more efficient lookup of the code words
(i.e. implementations can use binary search instead of linear search)
- this also allows trie (a prefix tree) to be used, e.g. for better compression
The wordlist can contain native characters, but they must be encoded in UTF-8 using Normalization Form Compatibility Decomposition (NFKD).
