 A few years ago, I made an armory account and tried to send an amount of bitcoin to it. When I made a password in armory that was easy to remember. I Know Exactly what the password was supposed to be. But, it came out differently than it was supposed to be because my keyboard only registered some of the keystrokes. I tried almost every variation missing two letters but I still can't access my account which I sent bitcoin to. Is there a program that exists to help me guess the missing letters? ChatGTP can make you a html/javascript webpage that can do this. You can run it in your browser, offline if you wish. I just tested it with the prompt: I want to create a webpage that uses javascript to take a word and produces all combinations of the word with up to 5 characters missing. It produced this working code: <!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Word Combinations</title>
<style>
body { font-family: Arial, sans-serif; margin: 2rem; }
input, button { padding: 0.5rem; font-size: 1rem; }
#results { margin-top: 1rem; white-space: pre-wrap; }
</style>
</head>
<body>
<h2>Word Combination Generator</h2>
<input type="text" id="wordInput" placeholder="Enter a word">
<button onclick="generate()">Generate</button>
<div id="results"></div>
<script>
function generateCombinations(arr, k) {
// helper to get index combinations
const results = [];
function helper(start, combo) {
if (combo.length === k) {
results.push([...combo]);
return;
}
for (let i = start; i < arr.length; i++) {
combo.push(arr[i]);
helper(i + 1, combo);
combo.pop();
}
}
helper(0, []);
return results;
}
function generate() {
const word = document.getElementById("wordInput").value.trim();
const maxRemovals = 5;
if (!word) {
document.getElementById("results").textContent = "Please enter a word.";
return;
}
let combos = new Set();
combos.add(word); // original word
for (let r = 1; r <= Math.min(maxRemovals, word.length); r++) {
const indexCombos = generateCombinations([...Array(word.length).keys()], r);
for (const indexes of indexCombos) {
let chars = word.split("");
// remove indices (largest first so we don’t shift positions)
for (const i of indexes.sort((a,b)=>b-a)) {
chars.splice(i, 1);
}
combos.add(chars.join(""));
}
}
document.getElementById("results").textContent =
[...combos].filter(Boolean).join("\n");
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
Tested with the phrase: metal-band and hit generate and it produces a list of combinations starting with 1 character missing, then 2, then 3 etc. you can change the number of removals by editing the line: const maxRemovals = 5; and making it 6, 10 whatever. sample output: metal-band etal-band mtal-band meal-band metl-band meta-band metalband metal-and metal-bnd metal-bad metal-ban tal-band eal-band etl-band eta-band etalband etal-and etal-bnd |

If you have the wallet.dat file, then use a script from the John The Ripper repo. Look for the file bitcoin2john.py. https://github.com/openwall/john/blob/bleeding-jumbo/run/bitcoin2john.pyGenerate the hash for hashcat by typing: python bitcoin2john.py wallet.dat > myhash.txt The output hash can be used to find the password using various techniques and the hash mode 11300. More about Hashcat and different attacks check their webpage. https://hashcat.net/wiki/eg, brute force a 6 character password: hashcat.exe --status -O -a3 -m11300 myhash.txt ?a?a?a?a?a?a You need a GPU and a lot of luck and/or patience. |

I think the owner of those addresses saw the spam comment, read the legal notice, and moved all their bitcoin to new addresses. The "legal" notice implies that they wouldn't steal this person/organisations bitcoin until October. The text of the "legal" notice is: This digital wallet appears to be lost or abandoned. Our client has taken constructive possession of it and seeks to determine if there is a bona fide owner. This legal notice is posted pursuant to, and in compliance with, applicable law, which is intended to provide an opportunity for the owner to claim property otherwise qualifying as lost or abandoned. The owner is provided ninety (90) days to respond to this Notice. In other words, an owner with valid proof of ownership must respond before October 5, 2025. If no response is received, the digital wallets and their contents, will be considered to be confirmed as abandoned. In sum, the lack of a response may be provided to a court as evidence of the relinquishment of all rights, title and interest in the digital wallets. This is an important legal notice and rights could be adversely impacted if the bona fide owner of this digital wallet does not respond. Provide proof of ownership either by: (1) using the private key associated with the wallet in any on-chain transaction, such as move contents to a new wallet, which allows the owner to signal ownership while maintaining anonymity and costs an owner nearly nothing; or (2) sending Salomon Brothers a message using the Contact Form (see below) with a detailed description of your valid claim to ownership including supporting documentation. Message can be sent by owner or by owner's representative, to maintain anonymity. Send a message via the Contact Form below. Our client seeks ownership right to the digital wallet for which no valid owner responds prior to October 5, 2025. Hence forth, no person shall trespass upon, infringe the rights of, nor attempt to extract any digital asset, from this digital wallet without prior written authorization of our client, except for an individual or entity which can show valid proof of ownership. Our client reserves all rights and will act to defend its rights against any trespasser. Those wishing to contact our client may do so using the Contact Form below. ___ This webpage is administered by us solely as a service to our client.

They called bitcoin as, The world’s most popular digital currency really is nothing more than an abstraction. So we’re destroying the private key used by our Bitcon wallet. https://web.archive.org/web/20170223144508/https://www.wired.com/2013/05/butterfly_live/Damn, it's now worth almost $550 million at the current price: Bitcoin address: 1BYsmmrrfTQ1qm7KcrSLxnX7SaKQREPYFP They have deleted the articles already, but its good that it has been archived. Just include this to the millions of bitcoins that has been lost already, making the supply really that scarce. And we can only speculate what's going on their mind seeing the latest bull run.  Was only worth 550 thousand at that time. It's still there. 13.34690781 BTC https://www.blockchain.com/explorer/addresses/btc/1BYsmmrrfTQ1qm7KcrSLxnX7SaKQREPYFPNow worth about 1.4 million. Such a waste to just delete the key. They should have donated the bitcoin like they suggested to keep it in circulation. |

You could try extracting your private keys from the BCH wallet and importing them into a BTC wallet.

So they ARE stored on the crypto exchanges. Why did I have to read 25 responses to finally get an answer? Mabey I already know more about BTC than some of you. Thanks to my stepson who knows more about BTC than most of you all.
No they are not. Bitcoin only exist on the bitcoin blockchain. |

$568 million outflow on the 8th Jan. Even Blackrock sold.
Not really a lot when you consider the $36 billion that the ETFs are worth

Some info here: https://cryptoassetrecovery.com/posts/how-to-recover-blockchain-legacy-mnemonicsIf you need to recover your Blockchain wallet, you need a few separate pieces of information:
Your Wallet ID (which includes 32 alphanumeric characters and 4 dashes. It takes the following format:
xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx
Your password
Control of the email address associated with your wallet (if you have registered an email with your wallet) Do you still have the same email address you signed up to blockchain with? If not: https://cryptoassetrecovery.com/posts/not-receiving-blockchain-authorization-emailsHow to Change the Email Address Associated with your Wallet
Blockchain has a process to change the email address associated with your wallet. If you can reassert control of the email address, that is generally a faster way to recover access to your wallet. But, if you have tried to regain control and failed, then this is your last option.
You’re going to need to contact Blockchain's support team and prove to them that you are the rightful owner of the wallet. They will generally ask you for the following information:
The email address currently associated with the wallet
The email address that you want them to change it to
Your Wallet ID (this will be an alphanumeric code that has this format: xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx)
The date that you created the wallet
The two-factor authentication type (if any) associated with the wallet
The SMS number associated with the wallet (if any) |

Seems overly complicated. Your key could be as simple as: echo hash_hmac('sha256', 'Your 8 words here.', 'your password'); |

I dont have a BTC adress anywhere anymore and was wondering if i could somehow find out if I have an account in GUIMiner by using my (old e-mail) adress just like Bitminter.
Support@bitminter will send me the remaining funds in my account, but i'm looking for the rest of my btc thats somewhere in a mining program / pool. Maybe I used some other program, have any suggestions? I used to mine on the Imac of my parents and my brothers windows PC (probably was the same software on mac/windows). Any suggestions? Or help?
You would have used GUIMiner, and configured it to use a pool, or solo mine. Either way you needed a wallet address to send the bitcoins to, so If you don't have a wallet.dat file or a private key, or the pool you used, or access to the original computers you mined on to retrieve these, then you are out of luck. If you signed up with a mining pool, they might have sent you an email confirmation. Do you still have access to whatever email account you were using back then? |

Just another approach to creating a brain wallet. Take some words, sha256 them, get a private key. (edit: alright then. back on the handle i was flying off) |

Was listening to the new Danny Jones podcast this morning on DNA The guy he's interviewing mentions turning information into a number sequence using a SHA256 hash of infomation that can then be put on the blockchain as a "timestamp" are the 41 minute mark.
My guess is the "timestamp" is irrelevant but how you would get that SHA256 hash to the next step I personally dont know right now. Might have already been mention on this thread. Cryptojohn has already mentioned SHA256 & sent some further information. I also mentioned SHA256 in the original post but had no clue what I was talking about & still had to get my head around it.
To me this sounds like where the whole seed/passphrase concept originated (my 8 words & password) could be enough to regenerate the wallet as ive also mentioned before. I had a quick try of one of the programs that's be discussed but may have had the fields mixed up. Tried it once to see what happens then left it.
Anywhoo the guy on Danny Jones then mentions if you were to change one of the letters in the sequence (or even change one of the letters to a capital) the end result changes & that is EXACTLY how I remember it. Pretty crazy when you think about it. Have a quick listen.
That's exactly what a brain wallet is. It takes words, SHA256 hashes them to a private key. The brainwallet page also shows you the wallet address so you can check on https://blockchain.com/explorer to see if the address is funded. |

I have a very similar story to yours, the fact is that they were testing mnemonics in early May of 2010, I logged into a web service then to be greeted with a mnemonic string.
I do differ in that this wasn't the only thing I was given as mine involves PGP..
Even with massive help, we are left trawling archives for lost concepts and code which has certainly been intentionally removed or lost, changes in op-code structure prevents recovery and the key players won't help or respond, they make out that you have likely been taken for a ride, which on study of our files cannot be the case.
Perhaps we can share findings privately? we relate to theUNIONJACK, we might not be that far away.
What web service was this? UnionJack has mentioned having a PGP key also. |

Will Trump fire Gary Gensler from the job as head of the SEC on day one of office like he said he would at the Bitcoin Conference in Nashville.

To check if your words are a brainwallet. Load this page: https://web.archive.org/web/20131031041506/http://brainwallet.org/turn off internet. type words, copy words and address into text file. repeat for whatever you think should be the right combination (8 words, 8 words plus password, etc) save text file. restart computer. load text file, check addresses at https://www.blockchain.com/explorerIf you find the address with the bitcoin. You can start at step 1 to enter the words to get the private key. copy private key. You can import the private key into a bitcoin wallet (like electrum, available from https://electrum.org) to access your bitcoin. if you don't find any bitcoin, it's probably not a brainwallet. |

That's quite literally a truckload of money.
