Title: Helping a friend recover funds
Post by: wez004 on October 12, 2017, 11:47:24 AM
Hi,

I am helping a friend recover funds from various wallets he hasn't logged into for years. He basically did the right thing and hodled. However, he hand wrote, on paper, various mnemonic passphrases and passwords as one should but over time the paper has go damp and has badly deteriorated, the pen used was some sort of felt tipped and the ink has run making most of it unreadable. We have recovered Ripple and are working on the bitcoin passphrase.

I have a quick question about word lists. I have a 12 word passphrase that can be made out with the words murder and suicide in it. It's obviously not part of the bip 39 word list. I can't work out what this passphrase is for, it was obviously something important at the time to be written down.

Anybody have any ideas what word list these are from and what wallet uses them? Strange words that gave me the creeps but are defeinately from some wallet or maybe an exchange account?

Thanks guys

Found a memorizing script for seeds with your words from 2015 here on github, that was used for electrum.
