Guess what i'm looking for is a kind of limiter on a wildcard.
You can use --min-tokens 5 --max-tokens 6 plus PawGo's suggestion above to limit the tokens to 5 to 6 and since each characters are tokens, it wont reuse them. But it will still try ABCDE, ABCDEF.... UVWXYZ; besides that's what bruteforcing using random charcters is all about if you have no idea about the possible characters. Otherwise, exclude the character(s) from the token list.

It is showing 2 weeks and it has taken a whole week to get where it is. -snip-
Based from your other thread, it seems like your node is already synced, right? Then the " 2 weeks" that you've seen was most likely 2-weeks-worth of blocks and not the estimated time. |

OK, finally Armory has noticed Bitcoin qt. It started syncing, which took forever. After it downloaded ~270 GB of blockchain to my HDD, I ran out of space. So I started deleting the oldest part of it and did it a few times to keep it going until the end. No I got 229 GB of blockchain on my 270 GB HDD.
-snip-
A 270GB HDD wont do, Armory requires the whole blockchain in your disk which will require about 400GB of data. Even if Bitcoin Core is fully synced with pruned blockchain, Armory won't be able to build its database from the pruned blocks. |

Thank you for your suggestion, I didn't know this was possible. I have been using the -datadir option to point my secondary drive that would be large enough to hold all of this, but I did not realize you could "open wallet" that way.
The menu " File->Open wallet" is just for loading wallet.dat files from the wallet directory, not a replacement for -datadir start parameter. The main use of it is for opening multiple wallets or loading an existing/backup wallet. |

i didnt see any transactions in the history when its generated new wallet with my old seeds. Something is going wrong
You won't see any transactions because its not online and won't be online. The goal is to get the private keys that Electrum version 0.30 derived from your seed phrase, then import them to the latest version ( v4.1.5) as an imported wallet by selecting "Import bitcoin addresses or private keys" during wallet creation; then paste the each private keys per line. The steps on how to acquire the keys from v0.30 are already in the previous replies, try to back-read from page 2: /index.php?topic=5379817.msg58950935#msg58950935And take note: the wallet should be unencrypted for the PrvKeys to be human-readable. |

Restore option always says please wait, no response, bored of waiting n u click cancel then i open again it starts with different wallet. it doesnt ask new or recover this time. U need to delete electrum.dat everytime
-snip-
Perhaps, that " different wallet" is the restored wallet from your seed? Does it freeze after typing the seed phrase or right after clicking 'restore'? in test seeds one time i waited like this n canceled after opened electrum checked the seeds if they re the same, yes same but receive adress there was none, then created but when u create new receive adress program also doesnt respond n freeze
U force quit then open again u see there is new adress in receive tab. None of receive adresses re smilar to tests adress before restored, all different its generating
Are you comparing the addresses of " test seed" restored to the latest version of Electrum with the addresses in 0.30? Because those are expected to be different due to the difference in key derivation between those versions. Other than that, I can't add anything because I can not reproduce the errors since I don't have a system that can run v0.30. |

|
-snip- After i close it n then opened again there re new seeds, 9 different words before that there were 8 words with different wallet
I can't comprehend this, are you somehow clicking " create" instead of " restore" when you're trying to restore the seed phrase? Create is for generating a new Electrum wallet thus, you'll be given a new seed. Restore is for re-creating an Electrum wallet from an existing seed phrase. -snip-
It doesnt even recover the test seeds. It does if u wait long but no receive adress at all
The error seems to be related to connection issues since there are no available servers for that version anymore. Was that after restoring your seed phrase and not the test seed? If it's the correct seed phrase: Since it still started after the error, that should be enough. To generate addresses, go to 'Receive' tab then click " New address" below. Create multiple addresses ( about 20~40) so the electrum.dat ( when opened as text) will show those 20~40 addresses' private keys. |

I've tried the site and it will return with the same error whether the address is Legacy, Native Segwit or P2SH.
So, the issue isn't with Electrum but Wyre's service, try to find an alternative.

Okay I noticed. Still no wallet.dat file, searched a lot. When u try to open the electrum it starts with the test over and over again which I created at the beginning
The file that you should open as text is " electrum.dat" file, but should be the one created after restoring your seed phrase. The old version doesn't support multiple wallet files so, you should delete/rename the test wallet first before you can create/restore a new wallet. electrum.dat should be located in electrum's data directory: https://electrum.readthedocs.io/en/latest/faq.html#where-is-the-electrum-datadir-located. BTW, 'wallet.dat' is for Bitcoin Core client. |

And thats not the private keys. Thats the code for seeds -snip-
The " no encryption" wallet has the addresses' individual private key right next to them; Those are in " Uncompressed WIF" so those are the 51-characters-string that start with '5' after the address list. It can display more even if the wallet isn't online based on ETF's response in this reply, then read the next reply: If more addresses are requested in the receive tab, will the unencrypted electrum.dat file display as much private keys as in the receive tab?
Yes. |

Calm down everyone, he only has 12 6248R CPUs :-X
The "288 processors" that he mentioned may be the total number of "Cores", since: 12CPUs x 24Cores each = 288 Cores

How about the " 2FA key" that Electrum showed during wallet creation? Check if you have saved it somewhere. ( this is only an example, do not use):  |
|
|

Does number 1 and 2 are different utility ?
- The first example utilizes OP_CLTV script to basically make an address where anything that's sent to it can't be spent until the set locktime has passed.
It's as straightforward as that.
Note: you should create your own address, do not use the one in the video.
- The second example is the simpler method which uses the nLocktime part of the transaction that makes it invalid until the set locktime.
In this scenario, your Bitcoin wont be sent at all, you just have to keep a copy of the RAW Transaction or locally save it in the wallet to broadcast later.
The downside here is you can still create a transaction that might invalidate the one with the locktime, eg. if you've spent the same input.

The problem is that the "change" output of 0.0747595 is not added to my balance. Probably, Electrum does not accept the change address as part of my wallet...?
Okay so the issue is Electrum can't create a wallet with multiple script ( address) type, you'll have to make separate wallets with different script types. The easiest way to find which ones to restore is to use " Detect Existing Accounts" during the wallet restore process ( in "Script type and Derivation path" window):  The script type(s) in that list are the ones that have at least one transaction history. If there are two or more, you must restore multiple separate Electrum wallets for each script type in the result. Electrum can open multiple instances BTW. |

In Bitcoin Core - bitcoin-qt, you can click the "Choose..." button beside the 'Transaction fee' just below the 'send' tab.
If the question is for another wallet, please specify.
|

Are you using the GUI?
Because there's an "Enable Replace-By-Fee" check-box below the 'Send 'tab that will override the default and bitcoin.conf settings if it's unchecked.

But, what if, for whatever reason, the Trezor's APP stops working? Either by court order, or server's problem... Whatever reason. I know this is almost impossible to happen, but I'm just curious. Can I use the 12 or 24 words to recover my BTCs in another cold wallet instead of Trezor? How does it work in this case?
Yes, Trezor's backup " Recovery Seed" is BIP39 compliant and will work with any client that supports BIP39 seed including its passphrase if you enabled it. |

Thank you for all of the information. Apparently, I will not be able to recover this and need to make peace with that. That's hard to do since it would be worth a lot of money now. Thanks again.
...set of words aren't always a seed phrase backup. Have you tried the second in the list in my reply above ( post#3)? It could be a " brainwallet" and you've just imported the private key to Bitcoin Core. Try to use this brainwallet generator on an offline PC: brainwalletx.github.io/#generator ( download the source from GitHub link below) Type your 10-words and see if the uncompressed or compressed address has any balance. If any of it does, then you can import the private key to a wallet ( like Bitcoin Core or Electrum) to be able to spend it. |

Ok, I tried salvage, but I can't find that option in bitcoin core 22.0.0
It was removed in Bitcoin-qt/bitcoin-cli a few months ago, it's now accessible using " bitcoin-wallet" tool in the 'daemon' folder. I have a post above with a guide on how to use the command: -snip-"bitcoin-wallet" is in the "daemon" folder inside Bitcoin Core's installation directory (where bitcoind and bitcoin-cli are located). To use it, open Terminal, cd to the directory where bitcoin-wallet is. Then use the command ( provide the full path to the wallet.dat file): bitcoin-wallet --wallet="E:\Folder\wallet.dat" salvage It wont return with any response ( unless it failed) but you will see a backup file ( wallet.dat.xxxxx.bak) where the wallet.dat is located. The new wallet.dat is the " salvaged" wallet. |

If you mined in 2011, you shouldn't have to wait very long to synchronize with the blocks that contain your coins.
It says 450+ weeks, and judging by the time I've let it run, it's serious. 450 weeks is 8.5 years give or take. -snip-What he mean is: If the " Last block time" in Bitcoin-qt has passed the year 2011, the transaction should be in your 'Transactions' or 'Overview' by now.
Since you have more than one wallet files, I'd suggest you to disable " pruning" so you wont encounter issues when you need to load the other ( or more) wallet files. Uncheck " Settings->Options...->Prune block storage" to to disable it, then it will require more disk space ( about 400GB+) because the full blockchain will be saved locally. If you do not have the space, you should load them all now so the wallets will be scanned during the initial block download. Copy the ( renamed) wallet.dat files into wallets folder in the data directory: '...bitcoin\wallets' folder; if there's no wallets folder: to the 'bitcoin' folder. Use " File->Open wallet" to load a wallet file; you can select a loaded wallet from the " Wallet:" drop-down menu at the right of 'Overview'. |
