Title: Finding a litecoin address from an incomplete address...
Post by: No_2 on July 22, 2020, 06:41:39 AM
I'm trying to find a litecoin address that has been used a few times on the litecoin blockchain, but I only have the first 32 characters so missing potentially 1 to 3 characters off the end of the address.

Does anyone know a way to look this up some how and find the full address? I've had a look around for something like a first bits search or anything like that, but all the blockchain explores I've looked at don't have this feature.

I'm pretty sure it'd be easy to find with the right search tools as its very unlikely to have a collision with another used address at 32 characters in length.

I had a similar problem a while back all I did was I copied the incomplete address and pasted in on google search and luckily google was able to give a link to a TX I made which in return led me to the address I was looking for.

Don't know if it will work for you but you can give it a try do note I have had made a lot of transactions using that address maybe that's the reason google was able to find it.
