Thank you in advance for your expertise!

Basically as long as you have enough ram for the addressDB, there is no real performance penalty for using one. The main performance bottleneck is the heading of possible passwords, so a simple search/lookup operation doesn't slow things down at all.

[@potheadfromthefuture2450]

Hey there, I really like your videos. I wondered what do you think about doing this in todays blockchain, for example if I want to create a db-address of the ethereum blockchain, I would need the full blockchain right? That would be a 1 terabyte blockchain (~991gb). This is just impossible for regular people to work with, there's so much space and bandwith needed for this. I know there's some db-addresses published of the ethereum blockchain, but I just used that blockchain as an example. Can we work with other types of synced blockchains? (not a Light sync but a Fast sync maybe?) How could a normal person today make an address database of today's size blockchains?

[@CryptoGuide]

I was thinking looking up address from bitcoin core it can also find the id associated with the address

It doesn't work that way. Blockchain.com wallet IDs are entirely arbitrary and are in no way linked to the addresses generated by that same wallet. If you don't have a wallet ID or email address then you have nothing. Your only option is to contact their support, explain what happened and hope that they decide to help you.

If you are creating an addressDB then the datadir is wherever you bitcoin/litecoin/etc core data folder is.

Another issue - it throws an error if the found phrase is in Russian (some problems with HTML encoding). I would post the error message, but KZbin doesn't like when I do it and blocks my posts. And the final question - when I run it against rockyou it finds hundreds of matches. How can I capture found phrases and addresses? Can I send it to a log file?

The addressDB represents a snapshot of the blockchain from the date of the file, so any passphrases that have never had a transaction will not appear in it. In terms of the Russian characters, if you could open an issue on Github that is the best way to shar that

No, this is unrecoverable. You can only recover if missing between 1 and 3 words.

Hi guys, I had a computer problem and lost my litecoin Wallet with some coins. I own the twelve words. How do I recover them? Could someone give me some guidance? Thank you very much in advance

[@CryptoGuide]

If you have your full 12 word seed you can just download Electrum-LTC, restore your seed in there and all your funds will be there. (If they don't appear, just try with each of the different account types)

[@CanalJef]

@@CryptoGuide thanks for responding, but my wallet was Litecoin Core. could I import to Electrum-ltc?

[@CryptoGuide]

If it was Litecoin core then you won't have a 12 word seed. There will be a wallet.dat file that you need. (Where did you get the 12 words from in the first place?)

[@CanalJef]

@@CryptoGuide I have some * .dat files, but I can't use them. I don't know if I'm doing it right. I have got these notes from a note, along with a password from the LITECOIN CORE wallet.

Well yea you will need to install Litecoin Core, copy your wallet.dat in there and then probably use your password to decrypt and open the wallet.

That's not how it works for recovering Bitcoin core wallets, you just need the wallet file and recover the password with that. No addresses required.

Hope I am in the right place, to ask this question. I had some doge mined back in 2014. I used some encrypted password generating online service back then to create a password for my wallet. Been trying to get an access to those old doge coins, but it won't accept the phrase. I tried btcrecover and it completes password search with: password found - displaying that original passphrase. And in the next line it says HTML encoded and the same passphrase again. Does anybody know what is going on here? I greatly appreciate the help!

[@CryptoGuide]

That means the password it found is correct, the html encoding is just incase you command prompt doesn't display of correctly. (This is an issue in some older versions of Windows)

[@yaroslavnaumenko5920]

@@CryptoGuide Why isn't my wallet accepting the password if it is correct? Thank you.

[@CryptoGuide]

Is your wallet blockchain.com? It could be a false positive but there is actually a bug on their platform where it doesn't open some older wallet I reported it here github.com/blockchain/blockchain-wallet-v4-frontend/issues/3095 You could try dumping the wallet file as per btcrecover.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Decrypting_dumping_walletfiles/ Alternatively you could look at the possible_passwords.log file and see what it is matching on. (If it's a false positive)

[@CryptoGuide]

Actually I misread your original post, if it's Dogecoin core you can just copy/paste the Unicode password, not the html encoded one. If that doesn't work, you could use an online tool to decode the html encoded characters and that might work.

If you only moved a single word it should recover it no problem just with the defaults. If you are using an addressDB, you just need to make sure that your wallet would have had at least one transaction by the date the addressdb was created.
