btcrecover looks just what I was looking for, thanks!
I'm starting to regret having picked a 115-character long password.
I get over 330,000,000,000 possible passwords with just 3 typos and several variations of a few words, all words being in a strict order.
That alone will take 1.3 years to run on my laptop's GTX 1070, assuming I can get 8kP/s out of it - haven't tried yet.
I know I could speed it up by building a rig with multiple GPUs, getting to 30kP/s with 3 overclocked 1080TIs, but given how it's not guaranteed that I will find the password at all, it's not worth for me to spend a lot of money on a btcrecover rig.
Also, I just got a new laptop two years ago. If my computer was many years old and due for an upgrade, I'd probably bite the bullet, as buying one extra graphics card would be just a small % of a new PC build cost.
I will try with 2 typos first, that gives about 650,000,000 passwords, which I should be able to check under a day, again, assuming I can get 8kP/s out of HP Omen's GTX 1070.
Your laptop will burn out before your crack it i'm guessing. Best try do any cracking like this on a desktop or something a bit more beefy than laptop. I don't fancy the chances you will recover something 115-characters long that is quite the amount of entropy. |

*YAWN* If you don't know how the system works.. watch this.. Yes the market is being manipulated but not by quick fingered traders the HFT bots and Quants are here. This is why we are seeing sudden moves it's nothing more that algorythms trading against each other and on the rare occasion they have a "Cannot Compute" error is when we see the sudden spikes in price. Watch..from 24 min.... learn and think before hitting that submit order button.. Ask yourself this. AM I THE EASY MONEY.. https://youtu.be/kFQJNeQDDHA?t=1443 |

He WILL be extradited  I have no idea why he came to the UK knowing that the UK has strong links with the US procesution service. Why would tax payer funds go on dealing with something so piffling? The small number of people who have been extradited have been terrorists and those who've directly pissed in the mouth of the US government. Actually it's much higher than you think in reality from 2009 to 2016 - 7,463 people were extradited from the UK of that 479 were british nationals. meanwhile only 897 people were brought to the UK under extradition laws. And why did the tax payer bail out the banks..did they have a say in that? The fact is that the UK tax payer has no say in what the tax money is being spent on. |

He won't be able to prove them on the next court Well, for the next date he has been summoned in person, but he has already said he isn't going to attend. He will therefore be held in contempt of court. The question is whether this is enough to earn him an arrest warrant, or if he will just be fined and lose the suit against Kleiman by default instead. If an arrest warrant is issued, then the next hurdle is extradition, since CSW currently resides in the UK. The UK has historically been pretty cooperative with US requests in this area though, provided capital punishment isn't involved. He WILL be extradited I have no idea why he came to the UK knowing that the UK has strong links with the US procesution service. I think he came to the UK to try "doctor" documents or work on his back story of this company CO1N LTD https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/08248988In the file of this compnay last documents were 2017 https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/08248988/filing-historyOh Craig... If we find your paperwork the US will find it.. Enjoy prison food... |

While dice is a fantastic way to do things I would look for another way to generate the addresses other that bitaddress. While some will say it's ok to use I still think if your going to go the route of dice then you might aswell generate the addresses on your own too. This has been used in the past it uses (CSPRNG) in your browser as its source of entropy instead of rolling physical dice. https://github.com/grempe/diceware |

CK is there a way to manually set the DIFF when mining here I have a miner that seems to keep getting stuck at 10k diff never seems to adjust and on the rare time it is setting auto its not a power of 2 value showing.
I have attempted in password field x,d=2048 but Var diff seems to be pushing the miner to another diff.
Just curious, why do you care? This is a solo pool. Becuase when the miner freezes at 10k diff it fails to submit shares. they are rejected or stale. I know it's solo but the miner either selectes a diff that is not power of 2 or gets stuck at 10k not usualy the diff a S3+ likes to play at. Prior when I mined here in the past the miners would always land on a power of 2 DIFF like 512 or 1024 2048 ect but now IF the miners is given a Vardif by the pool it's DIFF 504 as per a post by CK before it was my understanding the miners used the power of 2 as the diff settings. If that is the case why are my miners picker DIFF that are not power of 2? |

[...] For example in block #3 if you deduct 1 second from the time (the block time field) we won't find the hash we were looking for (smaller than the target).
So practically you may do this multiple times to find the correct result and my problem is that the numbers (according to hashrate) don't make sense.
Ah, you're right. I forgot that you'll have to retry nonces due to the changing block time field. But yes, like MagicByt3 pointed out they might have simply had multiple machines running? Even if satoshi was the only one running the client until Hal Finney came along a few days later this doesn't mean that they only had the client running on a single machine. It only needs a second or third machine for the numbers to make sense. This seems like the most likley reason the numbers don't add up. I recall reading a post by Satoshi that said something about using more than one machine but I cannot seem to find it.. This mail might give a better idea.  page 13 https://www.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.flsd.521536/gov.uscourts.flsd.521536.24.8.pdf |

Could it be possible that more that one machine was being used?

Yes, Bitcoin Core is backwards compatible. Meaning that you may not be able to use the newest address format in the old versions of Bitcoin Core, but you can use the old files with the newer version of Bitcoin Core. Good luck with all this ! Downloading the blockchain may take some time. If you want, send me your files and I can redeem your BTC to any address of your choice for a 1% fee  Of course this will be done in a more formal way If you're interested, send me a PM or feel free to get in touch with me on Telegram (@yogg1) I will not reach out to your first. DO NOT DO THIS NEVER SEND ANYONE YOUR WALLET.DAT FILE This member has given bad advice to you under no reason should you send anyone on here your wallet.dat file chances are they will steal your coins. |

https://www.blockchain.com/btc/address/b09a09458fe9bb86b0d897b4c244b05432bad28dThis one is interesting for a number of reasons... - It seems to be a relatively early use of a SHA256 brainwallet (January 2012). - The transaction originally funding this brainwallet split 1 BTC into neat sets of 0.001 and 0.005 BTC. Could other outputs from this transaction - there are 101 in total - also be brainwallets, or some other kind of special address? Some are still unspent, 7.5 years later. - A second set of funds (6.08 BTC) was sent a couple of weeks later, then all funds were swept the following year. Over time, the value of 6.08 BTC appreciated from around $USD 35 in February 2012, to almost $USD 600 in July 2013. (The sweep output is still unspent; 6.08 BTC is now worth nearly $60,000. Hope the owner still has the privkey!) The passphrase is just let the lovin take ahold I think there are still many many more to be found out there my guess. Interesting find on the 6 words are those song lyrics by any chance? |

Great topic I would like to throw into the ring: https://www.hybrid-analysis.com/It is a very advanced tool for running programs in VM state and it logs everything the software is doing and gives a nice report back. I highly recommend the use of this in conjunction with virus total and your own security screening software if you use such. |

This is just a very bad idea and WILL get you into trouble I guess. My advice.. Think of something else.

My mistake.
it was the reference to AES256 that I didn't read properly.
The AES-256 code is used in `CCrypter::Encrypt`/`CCrypter::Decrypt` (`src/wallet/cin crypter.cpp`). which is where I picked up the relation.
Thank for clearing that up.

Bitcoin is bigger that any "country" and no one can "ban" you from using bitcoin where there is a will there is a way.
I actually think that them banning it will push more people to adopt it.
They again recently people in china were shown a picture of tank man.. none of them knew who he was or knew it even happened..
Suppose that's china for you.

I have been keeping eyes on the taproot development over on git and noticed this edit to the code. Remove unused AES-128 code https://github.com/sipa/bitcoin/commit/edc68d40e9689f74f4cdfba010691e9811786086I wanted to know more about this removal and why some parts have been left and some have been removed also the explanation of the remove leave much to the imagination. after looking back at some of the earlier code base it seems this feature was used in development for derivation path? http://btc.yt/lxr/satoshi/ident?v=0.3.23&_i=SetKeyFromPassphrase&%21v=0.5.2CCrypter::SetKeyFromPassphrase(const SecureString& strKeyData, const std::vector<unsigned char>& chSalt, const unsigned int nRounds, const unsigned int nDerivationMethod) Why remove this code? What effect will remove have (i.e what will the remove of the code effect or stop the use of) Thanks  |

I would say this is bad practice.
If you are no longer in business and you are closed you should really remove sensitive user information.
Also it would depend on the terms and condition when users signed up if you told them you would pass there info onto other party's if not you will not be able to use the data in the capacity your asking.
You should also be aware of selling the info to scammers you may just end up having your customers flooded with spam or phishing links.
My advice would be to delete the data if it is of no further use to your project.

The real issues is the weak PK values here and education on how to create secure keys.
I tested lot's of the tools that are available out there even going as far as to parse the entire blockchain into MySQL table while running ABE and BF and a few other scanners I have there are still 100's of un-secure wallets out there waiting to be picked up by the sweepers (just for the record I don't sweep funds and never will.)
But it's quite a concern that many people seem to have funds laying out there which any competent person with python and a word list could find.
I also ran some checking on the old style electrum seeds with a "modified" word list and have had some wallets return with funds highest was around 0.15 BTC.
I am unable to post the results as the wallets seems to be active.
