hi everyone I'm new in eth world and I have some questions about eth paper wallets
there are 2 ways to create it: keystore file or mnemonic phrase
why people usually recommend the keystore file way to create it¿?

it works I have checked out any possibility between 0 and 4 characters Now it is counting the 14.025.517.307 combinations for 5 characters, and then it will check them, therefore in 36-48 of mid-work for dont force it, i will get the result next step? i will try it with 6 characters, how much time will it get? about 15-20 days after that i will reconsider any other possiblities

Right now, I decided to specify all of my keyboard characters with the token below: %0,9[aAbBcCdDeEfFgGhHiIjJkKlLmMnNñÑoOpPqQrRsStTuUvVwWxXyYzZ0123456789ºª\!|"@·#$~%%€&¬/()=¿?'¡`+^*[´¨{}Çç,;.:-_ ] Because I must not have more than 9 characters... but i got this error Starting btcrecover 0.17.10 on Python 2.7.17 64-bit, 16-bit unicodes, 32-bit ints btcrecover.py: notice: use --android-pin to recover the spending PIN of a Bitcoin Wallet for Android/BlackBerry backup (instead of the backup password) btcrecover.py: error: on line 1: invalid wildcard (%) syntax (use %% to escape a %)
i saved the file as utf-8 and included --utf8 on comand
Yes, you only specify %% when you a creating a "single" char token... when you're specifying chars in [...] format... you just use a single %. I've just tested it... and created the following token file: And then tested using: btcrecover.py --tokenlist myTokens.txt --listpass It output: a b % aa ab a% ba bb b% %a %b %% aaa aab aa% aba abb ab% a%a a%b a%% baa bab ba% bba bbb bb% b%a b%b b%% %aa %ab %a% %ba %bb %b% %%a %%b %%%
In addition to that... there is a weird character just before your final "]" which is actually what is causing your error... you need to delete that and the extra %... so your token file should looks something like this: %0,9[aAbBcCdDeEfFgGhHiIjJkKlLmMnNñÑoOpPqQrRsStTuUvVwWxXyYzZ0123456789ºª\!|"@·#$~%€&¬/()=¿?'¡`+^*[´¨{}Çç,;.:-_] The next problen will be when i would solved the error, it could take weeks, months, years¿? for %0,9 characters it is crazy, i have read about doing it on amazon web services, although I have to research about it, I think it could be more complicated than download python and following tutorials...
What do you think?
Yes... a 9 character password, with that many special chars will take a LONG time to test... With 104 possible characters, it's something ridiculous like 1,423,311,812,421,484,500 possible combinations just for the 9 character passwords... then you have the 8 char passwords, 7 chars, 6 chars etc etc. All up, (with my bad maths) it is something like 1,437,130,373,707,129,900 combinations If you can check 1,000,000,000 passwords/second... You would need: ~1437130373.73 seconds to check them all... = ~23952172.9 minutes = ~399202.9 hours = ~16633.5 days = ~45.6 years You might be better off trying to exclude some characters which you're fairly sure you would not have used to reduce the total search space to a more reasonable amount. You can also try and do it using Amazon Web Services, but the costs can get prohibitive... so unless you have a significant amount of money in this wallet, that might not be the most cost effective way of doing it. Again, talking to wallet recovery experts who already have the equipment and code setup and ready to go might be a better option. thanks a lot for your quality responses with those changes it works but the final character was a spacebar... yes if i can't find a solution i could try with any btc recovering services... But I prefer to try it first

I had actually read it. But I made the same mistake that last time % instead of %%, sorry... Right now, I decided to specify all of my keyboard characters with the token below: %0,9[aAbBcCdDeEfFgGhHiIjJkKlLmMnNñÑoOpPqQrRsStTuUvVwWxXyYzZ0123456789ºª\!|"@·#$~%%€&¬/()=¿?'¡`+^*[´¨{}Çç,;.:-_ ] Because I must not have more than 9 characters... but i got this error Starting btcrecover 0.17.10 on Python 2.7.17 64-bit, 16-bit unicodes, 32-bit ints btcrecover.py: notice: use --android-pin to recover the spending PIN of a Bitcoin Wallet for Android/BlackBerry backup (instead of the backup password) btcrecover.py: error: on line 1: invalid wildcard (%) syntax (use %% to escape a %)i saved the file as utf-8 and included --utf8 on comand The next problen will be when i would solved the error, it could take weeks, months, years¿? for %0,9 characters it is crazy, i have read about doing it on amazon web services, although I have to research about it, I think it could be more complicated than download python and following tutorials...

thanks for your supporting HCP According to the tutorial if i want to look for a password between 0 and 10 characters ASCII. i have to spcify in tokens file...: 0,10%p But if i need to include: "ñÑ". How i have to do it? I tried it with 0,10%p[ñÑ] but i return an error message If i specify the all characters including "ñ" I return an error message too 0,10[.....ñÑ....] File "C:...\btcrpass.py", line 2828, in open_or_use file = open(filename, mode) IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'tokensname.txt'

It looks like you still have all the necessary files... so that's a good start. Now, it's really just a matter of finding the correct password. Does the MultiBit install still work? As in, you can actually load up MultiBit and see the wallets etc? If so, that would suggest the files are hopefully not corrupt. Then, it's just a matter of getting the password. I tried to use btc recover but it doesn't work... I need to install two or three things before to start but the compilation have not one of them...
Getting Python and btcrecover working can be a bit daunting if you're not experienced with commandline applications... but it's not impossible. You just need to make sure you use Python 2.7.x and follow the instructions as outlined on the btcrecover github: https://github.com/gurnec/btcrecover/blob/master/docs/INSTALL.mdIf you're unable to get btcrecover working, then you're basically left with the option of engaging a 3rd party to try and recover things for you... my recommendation would be: https://walletrecoveryservices.com/Also, in case it wasn't obvious, there are a lot of scammers here on Bitcointalk... so be VERY cautious if anyone offers to help via PM or Telegram etc and asks you to send your wallet files/passwords etc! thanks for your advice! I have good and bad news. I ran python and btcrecover without succeed yet. I have just suggested more than 300 passwords even with different typos combinations although after uncountable possibilities it didn't match and I received a 'password search exhausted' message ------\btcrecover------->----------\python btcrecover.py --tokenlist tokensname.txt --max-tokens 1 --typos 5 --wallet walletname.key Starting btcrecover 0.17.10 on Python 2.7.17 64-bit, 16-bit unicodes, 32-bit ints btcrecover.py: notice: use --android-pin to recover the spending PIN of a Bitcoin Wallet for Android/BlackBerry backup (instead of the backup password) Wallet difficulty: 3 MD5 iterations Using 4 worker threads 12472 of 12472 [########################################################] 0:00:00, Password search exhaustedIn this moment I have 3 questions: 1. If i don't remember password and i don't have enough luck with the matching, are there any posibility to unlock it with files that I showed in my last post 2. I am going to try it again with extra info like typos count... 3. I have problems with passwords with the character "%" how have I to specified it? I'm trying to resolve it with brute-force, I am creating different tokens files to specify different lengths such %1p because I saw it in this topic: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3049316.0;allbut I get this error error: btcrecover.py: error: token on line 1 has character with code point 239 > max (127 / ASCII)edit: I think I found the solve: save the .txt file as ANSI - code let's se..

i'm not sure but I have just found this topic and it looks like my case https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1922317.0;allthe difference between us is that I think that I have a password and he didn't but you can show below my wallet directory files and structure: https://imgur.com/elVOf2GI tried to use btc recover but it doesn't work... I need to install two or three things before to start but the compilation have not one of them...

First, I am so grateful to have a response with this topic, thank you a lot I am pretty sure that the password has to be one of them which I have in a piece of paper, but I think that the problem is the known multibit password issue. I don't usually use special characters, there is only one possibility with "%" It's true, that I am not a technical user, in fact, I have business studies although I can build simple database queries for data analysis but I can't resolve more complicated things. (to understand my tech knowledge) By the way, my multibit installation is composed for the followings files and folders - multibit (info)
- multibit (properties)
- multibit (wallet)
- multibit (spvchain)
- multibit (csv)
- multibit (checkpoints)
- multibit (log)
- multibit-data (folder)
and inside multibit-data (folder) there are: key-buckup (folder) multibit YYYYMMDDHHMM (key) rolling-backup (folder) multibit YYYYMMDDHHMM (wallet) multibit YYYYMMDDHHMM (wallet) wallet-backup (folder) multibit YYYYMMDDHHMM (info) multibit YYYYMMDDHHMM (wallet) wallet-unenc-backup(folder) multibit YYYYMMDDHHMM / (info) multibit YYYYMMDDHHMM. wallet (cipher) So, with this information and knowing that: I have my multibit wallet log in I lost my private key and my seed words I could have the multibit password issue what do you think could be better?

Hi everyone Firstly I want to give you a little background about me (mid understand of english · no techuser) having said that I'd like to explain my situation: - In 2013 I installed multibit 0.5.14 and until nowdays I forgot about multibit
- Months ago I have tried to recover btc's to send to another wallet, but I lost my passphrases when I moved on from my parents home where I let my computer with multibit installed
- If I try to export private keys from multibit I receive the below message: "The wallet password is incorrect" (I have tried many passwords and I am pretty sure that one of them is correct)
- Looking on multibit repository I can see diferent files:
multibit.info/wallet/properties/spvchain/checkpoints multibit-data/keybackup/rollingbackup/walletbackup/wallet-unenc-backup/
Considering the info above, which could be the best sollution?
