Title: mnemonic recovery script
Post by: REVIFIED on November 28, 2021, 04:54:37 AM
Hello everyone,
I'm in need of a program that is able to recover 2 lost words from a mnemonic phrases
example is https://github.com/ZenGo-X/mnemonic-recovery
if anyone can modify the script to check 2 words instead of 1 that would be great.
Thanks

Or use BTCRecover instead?
It has a seedrecover.py script that can bruteforce your 2 missing words; however, you'll need to provide an address or the master public key as reference.

Probably could be done with my program https://github.com/PawelGorny/lostword
If you know positions of lost words, then see configuration for worker KNOWN_POSITION
If you do not know positions, let me know, I will adapt my software (currently it works with one missing word, worker ONE_UNKNOWN).

Do you want to launch it with known target address & path or you need only to see which seed is correct?

Let me know if I may help you.
