Can I search for a ripple address with seedrecover? #223

Is it possible to use some kind of command line option to try to bruteforce correct seed with a known ripple address? I tried this but said "ripple" wasn't a correct wallet-type?

./seedrecover.py --wallet-type ripple --bip32-path "m/44'/144'/0'/0/" --addr-limit 1

Can I use some kind of command line option like this with a known address?

Thanks for any help!

I have just posted a web page describing how I modified Ian Coleman’s BIP39 tool, to automate guessing at seed phrases. This can be used for any type of coin address that his BIP39 tool supports, including ripple addresses.

@vly3 Thank you very much! I was able to use your instructions to help someone recover some ripple :)

vly3 is the real MVP i used his narrow instructions and managed to recover some btc from a segwit adress, where i had a wrong mnemonic
