I don’t recall what platform I opened my wallet with and don’t have my seed all I have is my wallet address what would you suggest I do as I see that only knowing 2-3 seed words won’t recover so what do I do for no words and nothing but wallet address…. So lost as to what to do! 😢

Is there any way to try to recover an Daedalus Byron Era wallet password and or seed recovery?

[@CryptoGuide]

BTCRecover doesn't currently support Byron era seed based wallets, nor does it support Daedalus wallet file password recovery. (Though these could likely be added if you wanted to sponsor it)

[@rydmerlin]

What percentage of the seed phrase is needed for a successful recovery?

[@CryptoGuide]

If you don't know the position of the missing words/typos them you can only be missing two. If you know the position then you can recover if missing three. (So you need the vast majority of the words)

[@vietthanggaming99]

Now I'm holding 9/12 seed phrases of my tron link wallet. Can you suggest me what should I do to recover the last three?

[@CryptoGuide]

That is a straightforward recovery as far as math goes. Unfortunately BTCRecover doesn't support Tron, though it could if you were prepared to sponsor the feature.

[@vietthanggaming99]

So are there any ways to create a new wallet with 9 available words?

[@CryptoGuide]

Not without implementating it in BTCRecover (or a similar tool) and using the 9 words and the address from the wallet to recover the missing three.

[@marcikraus3726]

Hey there, another question. So i managed to get it to run, but now i wonder if its even possible to get the right sequence when i know my 24 words but not 1 right position.

You can't descramble a 24 word seed, it's just the math of it. (If that's what you mean by not 1 right position)

10/12 words is no problem, but it might take a few hours depending on your CPU

[@jeancarlosroahernández]

Good afternoon, I wanted to ask, what if I have the complete seed but I don't have the correct order or the public address, what could I do?

If it's a 12 word seed and is for a blockchain that can use addressdb, then it's a straightforward recovery. Just follow my videos on descrambling and recovering without an address and you are good to go.

[@GrandPrix563]

Trying to use seedrecover for an ETH wallet. 12 words plus a passphrase ("13th"). I'm missing one or two words. For a few of the seed positions, I have a few words to try so I'm using a token list file. I can't figure out how to run it and insert missing words and use a token list file. I'm trying: python3 seedrecover.py --big-typos 1 --no-dupchecks --mnemonic-length 12 --language EN --dsw --wallet-type ethereum --addr-limit 1 --addrs --tokenlist --bip32-path "m/44'/60'/0'/0" --passphrase-list --no-eta --listseeds and I get no output. If I put an X or bad word in for a placeholder it tries to use the literal placeholder and says they are all invalid mnemonics. Not sure if I'm using the typos flag the right way or if I need that. I can use the GUI and paste in 11 words with test data and it worked. But I need to try a few different words in some of the seed places. Thank you!!!!

[@GrandPrix563]

Just to clarify, a few words are narrowed down to a few options AND I'm missing a word.

[@GrandPrix563]

For now, I'm using a token list and on the one or two lines with a missing word I pasted the whole 2048 list and it seems to be working.

[@CryptoGuide]

So why are you using a tokenlist and not just standard operation with some placeholders?

[@GrandPrix563]

@@CryptoGuide Because I know the position of some of the words so I was using ^1^wordA etc. And a few of the places I have a few words to guess (^5^wordA ^5^wordB) If I'm missing two words, I wanted to cut down guesses by specifying the position of most of the words. Can I do this without a token list? I thought GUI only takes seed list and tries every combo?

[@GrandPrix563]

I have ETH address, 12 words + passphrase, I'm missing two words, and for a few of the placeholders I have a few words to guess. I could not find that scenario in the docs so I tried to build it with a token list to cut down on guesses but it's my first time using the tool so I might be on the wrong track. Thanks so much.

[@nelsonnjoku4117]

hello, i opened my wallet way back in 2016, my phone was stolen then so i lost my recoverey phrase and password because its been a while. is there a way around this to recover my wallet?

[@CryptoGuide]

No, there is no recovery unless you find the seed.

[@fiatbrecher]

Why are Electrum processes processed so much faster than BIP39 processes?

[@CryptoGuide]

Because Electrum seeds have a much stronger checksum process, especially for 12 word seeds. (So seeds where the checksum fails don't need to be fully hashed)

[@mattob4619]

Thank you for your content. Very helpful and interesting. Question: With BTC Recover, if you had say only 2 or three words of the seed phrase for a 12 words seed phrase, how feasible / possible would it be to use BTC Recover to get the rest of the correct seed phrase? Obviously the fewer seed words available to you, then harder it would be to work out the rest but is this technically within the scope of BTC Recover? Also with e.g. a standard Mac Book Air how much CPU run time would be required? (Presumable many years!)

[@CryptoGuide]

Basically you can only be missing 2-3 words. (And if you only have 2-3, so are missing 9-10, this is unrecoverable)

I just went through all this comments now and am confused is there a way I can recover my 12 misplaced seed phrase for trust wallet? I have the 12words but don't know which comes before one.

The fact that it's a keepkey is irrelevant. Just use the same process and select XRP when asked which wallet type.

[@tagaluginnatin7674]

@@CryptoGuide Yes I did exactly that - even after reinserting the # before the two ETH remarks made due to the 3rd example you made in test video for BTCRecover. But it just stalled just after having entered my Keepkey XRP wallet address. So, I tried using my ETH address on the same Keepkey wallet using the same original seed phrase and it ran for some six plus hours only to report "seed not found". For the XRP stalled results it does say Assertion error: Invalid address, chaecksum error. There's also a 'groestlcoin_hash' not defined.and near the last line: lib.bitcoinlib.encoding.Encoding error: Invaled bech32 character in bech string. Then the Press Enter to exit...I could send you the snapshot of the results after feeding in the xrp address if you like.

[@CryptoGuide]

Sounds like there is a missing dependency for groestlecoin_hash for XRP. If you want to post it then just open an issue on Github. (As it shouldn't need that module for XRP, but might be missing something to allow this to work properly) If you want a rapid workaround just install the groestlecoin_hash module (it's in the requirements-full.txt) and it should work straight away.

Hi, I have lost access to my metamask and the old computer is lost. I know my password but have lost the SRP. Is there anyway to recover metamask..kindly help

[@CryptoGuide]

Unfortunately the password is only useful if you have the Metamask extension data (so the old PC that you lost) so if you have also lost your recovery phrase, the it sounds like you have caused an unrecoverable loss.

Hello, I have my 24 seed words that I set up for the Avalanche AVAX wallet and sent AVAX from Binance. Now I can't access my Avalanche wallet due to Mnemonic phrase error. Can you do a recover for this protocol and wallet. If yes, I would like to enlist your service.

[@CryptoGuide]

It isn't currently supported in BTCRecover but I am looking at the source for it and thinking it would be quite straightforward to support as a sponsored feature or trusted recovery.

Hey. I have the 12 words, but not in order. With this can I have them in order or the key?

[@CryptoGuide]

12 word seeds can be easily descrambled in a few hours, watch my video on descrambling them with BTCRecover.

[@theorogers5595]

Missing a word from my atomic wallet, had some cosmos on it. Would this work for me? I have the address used to receive atom.

[@CryptoGuide]

BTCRecover doesn't currently support Cosmos, but it would be straightforward to add it if you wanted to sponsor it. (Atomic is a crap wallet that often doesn't follow standards, but in this instance it actually does for Atom, so that's good) Once implemented a single missing word recovery would take about 10 minutes.

8/12 is too many missing world, especially given you don't know the position of all the ones you have. It will take years to run. Best bet is to just hold on to the info you have, as it may be doable in 20 years with increases in available computing power.

Helium uses some non-standard seed type, so it isn't supported by BTCRecover. That said, source for the wallets is available, so it could be added if you wanted to sponsor it.

[@googleadmin4749]

When recovering the mnemonic phrase for DOGE I use the address database because I don't know the address, but for some reason the search doesn't work, although I know exactly that the mnemonic phrase of 24 words is correct, just one of them I deliberately change places or replace with "1" maybe I do something wrong

[@CryptoGuide]

Firstly, the Doge address database only contains addresses used through to April 2021, so if the seed was first used after then then it won't find anything. If the seed was used to make transaction before this date and still doesn't find anything, then there is either something wrong with how you are running BTCRecover or something else wrong with the seed.
