1  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Help recovering my password and forked coins on: February 20, 2021, 02:46:27 PM
Is there an easy tool that just lets me enter the words and numbers I know and I can just click run?

AFAIK no, the easiest tool i know is BTCRecover (https://github.com/3rdIteration/btcrecover/). Take note it's different from @BitMaxz since it's more up-to-date and support Python 3.
But don't worry since there many members who have experience with BTCRecover and willing to help you step-by-step.

Any suggestions, tips, help is highly appreciated.

This thread (LoyceV's Bitcoin Fork claiming guide (and service)) show some guide and tips if you plan to claim forked coins manually.

Thanks for the info!


From your screenshot, I can/would only recover Bitcoin Diamond. All other Forkcoins are traded at shady exchanges. The value of your BCD is a bit lower though, you're currently holding about $220 if you sell your BCD on Binance.
If you however manage to successfully sell some of the other Forkcoins, I'd love to hear how and where you did it.

Good luck with the password first.

Bummer! If I can figure it out I will update! Thanks.

Hi all,

I used to own quite some Bitcoins but those are long gone, sadly.
I do however have an old wallet.dat left from BitcoinQT that seems to hold a few forked coins.

I need some advice here. First of all, looking at the attached screenshot, are these coins claimable? If not then I will save myself a lot of troubles.
If there are then I hope someone here can help me out.

Like probably tons of others here I 'kinda' lost my password. It's about 25 characters long and I know pretty much every word/number I used.
But after trying for a hour I can't figure out the right combination.
Considering I know 95 to 100% of my password, can someone here suggest the best way to crack it? I browsed for some cracking tools but they are just so complicated. I spent the last 2 hours setting up Python on my Windows PC and trying several things but it's just not for me.
Is there an easy tool that just lets me enter the words and numbers I know and I can just click run?

OR

If those coins are recoverable and someone has the skills I'm willing to send my wallet and give you 25% of what you can recover. Obviously I will only do this with a very trusted person who lots of people can vouch for.
Random people don't need to bother hitting me up asking me to send offer the wallet. I won't.

Any suggestions, tips, help is highly appreciated.
It's not a lot of money but enough to spend some time on.

Thanks!
