24 Words would indicate it is from a BIP39 wallet.

You might try out to import this mnemonic seed into electrum (https://electrum.org/#download (https://electrum.org/#download)).
Choose 'I already have a seed' and enter your words. Make sure you edit the settings and tick 'BIP 39'.

The derivation path depends on the wallet you have used when creating this seed / addresses. Did your address start with a 1.. or with a 3.. ?

knowing the address type (1... or 3...) and possible wallet you've used would help a lot
by any chance you remember what wallet(s) you've used at that time?
and knowing at least one exact address of your addreses will make a big difference
then you can try this tool from https://github.com/iancoleman/bip39 (download it and run it offline)

I will try that web tonight. But lets make clear its 8 word phrase, not 24. They are three separate phrases for three wallets. They were most probably wallets on agora market, evolution, etc. /one for each/, I wonder if its even possible recover them, that darksites died some time ago /exit scammed, sized/...

I am pretty sure that you can not recover anything with these words, as you say that was dark market sites which are go down back in 2015. For Evolution marketplace there is data that owners of that site are steal some 12$ million in BTC at that time. So those words do not have anything in connection with HD wallets seed, in time that sites go down you money is lost.

I am willing to share those phrases with some senior member. I try what I was able, but without success. If someone want to help and eventually make some profit from it, contact me.

It probably won't lead to anything.

Did you check whether each word of your '8 word phrases' does appear inside the BIP39 wordlist (https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0039/english.txt (https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0039/english.txt))?


Feel free to message me your words. But if these aren't BIP words and are really from a market place, your coins are most probably lost.

Only 'food' and 'dragon' are BIP39 words.

These words probably just were a backup phrase for an account you had on an online service / market.
The ONLY way to get your coins or account back would be to contact the person behind the website.

But these words do NOT lead to BTC's. Mostly just to an account on a site which doesn't exist anymore.
