Solving a list of private key. #483

Open arthurwolf opened 1 year ago

arthurwolf commented 1 year ago

I'm trying to help a friend recover their lost BTC wallet. So far I have:

(I do not have any address associated to the wallet, but from what I understand, with the month, I can get a list/database of possible addresses)

Is there any way I can get btcrecover to help me here?

I can only find docs for passwords and "seeds"/lists of words, but nothing for trying to test/figure out from lists of private keys.

I imagine that internally, btcrecover does generate a list of possible private keys, and tests them, am I wrong?

Is there some way to "skip" the password/seed generation part?

I'd be fine with editing code, I'm just looking for any advice/help.

Thanks a lot in advance!

You can use the feature to solve raw private keys as demonstrated here: https://btcrecover.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Usage_Examples/basic_password_recoveries/#raw-private-keys

This won't work this this repository, but will need to use my updated fork which has the feature.
