I have 7 GPUs installed which Windows detects correctly, but when using the arguments --enable-opencl and --no-eta, there is no difference in kP/s. It always seems to be using only one GPU. I've looked at the documentation and watched videos, but I can't understand how to use the argument --opencl-workgroup-size since I've been using multiples of 1024 (Like 2048, 4096, etc...) and haven't seen any differences. I can't figure out what I might be doing wrong. Could you help me with that? Thank you very much for this great tool and your time, Steve.

Should I look at going and purchasing an airgapped computer in preparation for downloading btc recover; or is it safe to do while being online connected to the internet ??

Your best bet is to just get familiar with it on Windows, run a recovery or two with a test seed that you generate somewhere like here: iancoleman.io/bip39/ For running the actual recovery, you can just take your computer offline and leave it that way until you have done the recovery and moved the funds to a new seed.

Hello. I have been trying to send my trezor address to the rabby wallet. But when I enter the passphrase or click on the standard option, it shows me a bunch of addresses that are not mine. What I assume is that at some point I put a passphrase into Trezor which I don't remember. I wanted to ask you if you could reset the Trezor from origin, which would involve setting a new passphrase, etc. Wouldn't that be an option too? Or is there some other simpler option since this video was 5 years ago, there will be a better way updated to today

[@CryptoGuide]

Your only option is to recover the BIP39 passphrase (If you used one, which is easy to do with Trezor as it prompts you for one by default). Nothing has changed since this video was made and it is all still current. (With the exception of PyOpenCL being installed via pip now, so that has made things easier)

[@abelcolongrullon7623]

@CryptoGuide Thanks for your response. The situation is that i never created a passphrase in the beginning, when i created the trezor account, just the pin and the security words that shows. So i have my funds in metamask and when im trying to find the same address in rabby wallet, that i have in metamask it doesn't show clicking the standard wallet, so then i try to create a passphrase to see if that way it would show the address, bud even like that i didn't. I don't know if just having an address with trezor and then sending the funds to that address will be a better way.

So are you still able to send the funds in Metamask?

A challenge came, when I typed pip3 install "pyopencl-2021.2.9+cl12-cp38-cp38-win_amd64.whl" This error message came in red: ERROR: pyopencl-2021.2.9+cl12-cp38-cp38-win_amd64.whl is not a supported wheel on this platform What am I not doing correctly?

[@CryptoGuide]

The wheel that you downloaded doesn't match the python environment that you have installed. You should just be able to install pyopencl via pip3 now. (This wasn't possible back when the video was originally made)

I have my wallet dat.files but forget my pass phrase

[@CryptoGuide]

So whats stopping you from using BTCRecover to attempt to recover it?

[@Misteredheenigma]

Hello @montanagoat13 did you get what you wanted?

[@CryptoGuide]

It would depend on the recovery types. Basic seed typos are basically always recoverable, if it's a passphrase or wallet password then these succeed about half of the time. (As it depends on how good the guess is in the first place)

[@jianjian9954]

hi bro i somehow forgot my seed phrase and i format my comp few days ago . Is that still possible for me to get back?

[@CryptoGuide]

If you have none of the seed words then this is an undercoverable loss. Your only hope is to stop using the computer immediately and try a data recovery for the wallet files.

[@londenlonden994]

Can this version of BTCRecover be used to brute force Multibit Classic Wallet backup private key or password if at least part of the password is assumed known?

Hi Crypto guide, I am trying to help someone set this up which was a breeze with your channel but he said they likely used Latin keys instead of English. Is there a way to do this?

[@CryptoGuide]

So what do you mean by Latin keys, do you mean a BIP39 language other than English (which BTCRecover should handle automatically) or a passphrase with Latin characters? (Which should also be handled just fine via tokenlists or passwordlists)

You don't. It's simply for debugging if you a wallet that is formatted differently to what BTCRecover expects. BTCRecover will stop when it finds the correct wallet password.

[@CryptoGuide]

Well yea obviously you need to be online to install packages via PIP

[@ytfamily000]

@@CryptoGuide Oh ok. I thought we should use devices that "have never connected to the internet" when doing recoveries.

[@CryptoGuide]

No, you want devices that will are offline before you enter the seed and will remain offline until either the recovery device is wiped or the funds are moved to a new wallet. (This is why using something like Ubuntu Live boot is the best option for most people) If you want the system offline the whole time then you can easily side-load Python modules, but that is beyond the scope of what is easy to support in a video.

[@ytfamily000]

@@CryptoGuide I got it installed on Windows, thank you! Unsure whether these are bugs or more likely user error but here you go: 1. Before installing PyOpenCL, the Full Test results are: Ran 617 tests using 12 processes. OK (passes=536, skips=81). After installing PyOpenCL, the test gets stuck at electrum28 and gives a long error line about an array needing to be 1 or something. If I uninstall PyOpenCL, the testing works and gives the results above. I can send you the exact error if you need/want it. I don't think I have a GPU but wanted to install PyOpenCL anyway to test it. Could that be the reason for the error? 2. Is the number of skips normal in my test results? Ultimately, I want to find the 25th word from a Ledger wallet, segwit addresses. Thanks again!

[@CryptoGuide]

The skips is just based on which modules you have installed, hardware, etc, so there is no normal... A BIP39 passphrase recovery is pretty basic as far as required functionality goes. Just generate a test wallet first and try it with that if you are unsure.

[@londenlonden994]

As per documentation ' places itself in the lowest CPU priority class to minimize disruption to your PC while searching.' Is there any way to place btcrecover on a higher, or highest, priority using a Windows 10 PC?

Not at this time, if you aren't actually using your PC at the time it doesn't make a difference.

[@peterr2500]

Can BTCRecover be used in a Windows 11 environment? (Just got my first Win 11 computer...)
