Title: Prize award to whoever can decipher the most characters in the attached image Post by: smartmike88 on March 02, 2022, 10:38:14 PM Hi I desperately need help deciphering characters of a lost private key, the only remnant is a blurred out image from the past.
There are 46 characters visible. The first 18 characters I have along with the wallet ID but of course for security reasons I wont share. If anyone can help decipher the blurred out characters this would be great, if a character is not known please leave a # for me to brute force guess the missing characters using software which I have. The font used is Helvetica (apple) - this may help you work out what the missing alphanumeric characters are likely to be in the image. I just need help deciphering the remaining 46 characters from the above image, with this information and the gaps (indicated by #) I should be able to recover the wallet. Its okay if not all characters are revealed but help guessing as many as possible would be appreciated as my vision is not the best.

I am sure that it is enough for you to learn how brute force works, the way is password finding and I am sure that you will be able to find the key. For sure, the first 18 characters will be very helpful in this case when recovering the key using brute force. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brute-force_attack Title: Re: Prize award to whoever can decipher the most characters in the attached image Post by: BTCat on March 03, 2022, 11:20:39 AM Hi I desperately need help deciphering characters of a lost private key, the only remnant is a blurred out image from the past.

The more answers I get for the image the better, to assist my efforts for private key recovery.
If you get a chance to look and compare I would be forever grateful.

I've got some variants, but far too many for a person (110,592,000); maybe your tool can get use of subsets? Some notations: - [x,y,z] means a set: it can be one of those symbols on that one position - * means it can be anything on that position and it's equivalent with [0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,a,b,c,d,e,f]; it's your #, just I've seen late it should be # and not *. - on the image (sorry, no apple, no Helvetica) black means I'm pretty much sure about the value, red means that I have an set of possible values for that position (including *) https://i.imgur.com/b9lBm0G.png Code: 2[6,8]b6[0,9]dfb[3,6,8,9][a,c,e]611*23435d[3,6,8,9]f[c,e]2e2[1,2]f[4,f][c,e]2[a,c,e]145[0,3,6,8,9][0,3,6,8,9]7[a,c,e]95e4[0,3,6,8,9][c,e]0 Good luck.
