Private Key lost one character

[j55rrt]

yes, it is from bitaddress.org.
My private key start with 5KALGPT****.

Based on bitaddress, private key with 52 characters base58, starts with a 'K' or 'L

Indeed, default they'll give you a WIF Compressed private key, starting with K or L, so i wonder what happened since you ended up with 50 letters starting with a 5.
The two things popping to mind:

1) you used the wallet details to get a private key in WIF format, written it down and forgot 1 letter... Maybe even switched some other letters or couldn't read your handwriting
2) you've written down the WIF compressed PK, but forgot the initial K or L AND one extra letter... The odds of the second letter in the WIF compressed pk being 5 is pretty small tough...

I have to ask: is there any chance you might have printed out the page from bitaddress... Chances of mixing up letters and bad handwriting are pretty small on a printed piece of paper.... I know, it's a longshot, but it's certainly worth your effort to try and remember this

you are right.

Nothing loss to add extra K or L in front and run the script again, although the odds pretty small thought.
I used to tried to replace some character from my writing key, like "o" to zero, "f" to capital F.....perhaps i should spend much effort to try again and again with the script.

>10BTC is worth >$7k at current preev rate. If i were you, i'd try everything to get that money back. $7k is not the end of the world, but i'd have to work for a really long time in order to put $7k in my savings account...

You can try to interpolate all letters you're unsure about, generate addresses starting with K or L,.... Maye you'll get lucky
The other option is to offer a 10 or 20% finders fee and let some REALLY, REALLY, REALLY trusted member try to solve your problem. It's certainly something you shouldn't do very lightly, since it'll involve sending this person everything you know (including the written pk). If you take this path, defenately chose somebody who has been around for a long time, did business worth at least 100BTC on this forum, has a lot of green trust, didn't change his/her password recently, and can sign a message with a really old staked address. Sending over the private key should be a "last resort", but if it's chosing between forfeiting 10BTC or giving 2BTC finders fee and recuperating 8BTC with a reasonable risk, i'd chose the latter.

[jackjack]

Nearly everything has been said I think

You can also try to generate many empty WIF private keys, write them down and then compare your writings with the original ones
With much luck you may find what errors you tend to make: mixing one letter with another, mixing two consecutive letters, capitalizing downcase letters, etc

I wonder if you could recover your key. update us please

I missed the recent activity in this thread.

Here's another script that substitutes replacements from the base58 character set for each character in the bad wif, and then inserts all base58 chars at each position in the string.

So it should deal with all private keys that have one missing character plus one mistranscribed character.

It takes about 15 minutes to run on my old, slow laptop, but I've included progress output so that you can tell something is at least happening.

Code:

import bitcoin.base58
from bitcoin.core import b2x, x
from bitcoin.core import Hash
import sys

def replace_char(string, char, i):
    return string[:i]+char+string[i+1:]

def insert_char(string, char, i):
    return string[:i+1]+char+string[i+1:]

def verify_wif_checksum(wif):
    byte_string = b2x(bitcoin.base58.decode(wif))
    private = byte_string[:-8]
    checksum = byte_string[-8:]
    return checksum == b2x(Hash(x(private)))[:8]

def candidate_wifs(corrupted_wif):
    candidates = set()
    for i in range(len(corrupted_wif)):
        #print("%i of %i" % (i, len(corrupted_wif)),)
        sys.stdout.write("%3i of %3i : " % (i, len(corrupted_wif)))
        for char in bitcoin.base58.B58_DIGITS:
            sys.stdout.write(char)
            candidate_wif = replace_char(corrupted_wif, char, i)
            for c in insertion_candidates(candidate_wif):
                candidates.add(c)
        print()
    return candidates

def insertion_candidates(corrupted_wif):
    candidates = []
    for i in range(len(corrupted_wif)):
        for char in bitcoin.base58.B58_DIGITS:
            candidate_wif = insert_char(corrupted_wif, char, i)
            if verify_wif_checksum(candidate_wif):
                print("\nFound: %s" % candidate_wif)
                candidates.append(candidate_wif)
    return candidates

# Provide a WIF private key with a single missing character.
# Wrong Char              v
corrupted_wif = '5HueCGU8rkjxEXxiPuD5BDku4kFqeZyd4dZ1jvhTVqvbTLvyTJ'
#  Should be:   '5HueCGU8rMjxEXxiPuD5BDku4MkFqeZyd4dZ1jvhTVqvbTLvyTJ'
#  Missing Char                           ^
for candidate_wif in candidate_wifs(corrupted_wif):
    print(candidate_wif)

Hi All

I was wanting to know if anyone could provide me a search command as i am missing 4 characters from my private key base 58.  From the search command how would you know if the private key is valid or not?

My private key starts with K i have 48/49 characters i just require a search command so my friend can complete this for me?

please let me know thanks

If you know where the characters are missing then take a look here:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5214021.0

Download and run. Depending on the speed of your system should not take long at all.

Hi I saw your Post as i am trying to retrieve my misssing character how would i run this code on a mac book pro?

Here's a script in python which uses deepceleron's idea of using the checksum to filter out bad candidates.

It does depend on python-bitcoinlib.
https://github.com/petertodd/python-bitcoinlib

Code:

import bitcoin.base58
from bitcoin.core import b2x, x
from bitcoin.wallet import CBitcoinSecret, P2PKHBitcoinAddress
from bitcoin.core import Hash

def insert_char(string, char, i):
    return string[:i+1]+char+string[i+1:]

def verify_wif_checksum(wif):
    byte_string = b2x(bitcoin.base58.decode(wif))
    private = byte_string[:-8]
    checksum = byte_string[-8:]
    return checksum == b2x(Hash(x(private)))[:8]

def candidate_wifs(corrupted_wif):
    candidates = []
    for i in range(len(corrupted_wif)):
        for char in bitcoin.base58.B58_DIGITS:
            candidate_wif = insert_char(corrupted_wif, char, i)
            if verify_wif_checksum(candidate_wif):   
                candidates.append(candidate_wif)
    return candidates


# Provide a WIF private key with a single missing character.
corrupted_wif = '5HueCGU8rMjxEXxiPuD5BDku4kFqeZyd4dZ1jvhTVqvbTLvyTJ'
#   Should be:  '5HueCGU8rMjxEXxiPuD5BDku4MkFqeZyd4dZ1jvhTVqvbTLvyTJ'

for candidate_wif in candidate_wifs(corrupted_wif):
    print(candidate_wif)

It should hopefully output any candidate private keys.

For example:
5HueCGU8rMjxEXxiPuD5BDku4MkFqeZyd4dZ1jvhTVqvbTLvyTJ

Hi I saw your Post as i am trying to retrieve my misssing character how would i run this code on a mac book pro?

It's a Python script... a MacBook Pro should have python install by default. You just need to copy/paste the 'script' from that post into a text file, edit the 'corrupted_wif' value to be the WIF of yours that is missing one character and then save the file as "corrupt_wif.py" or some other name... as long as it ends in .py

You will also need to make sure you have the python bitcoinlib library installed. So open a 'terminal' and type:

Code:

pip install bitcoinlib

Once that is installed, you then change the current directory in the terminal to where you created the .py file... and use:

Code:

python corrupt_wif.py

That should run the script for you.

This very short video shows how to create the script using the text editor and run it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Txt-cLLa_vo

MY Mac throws back an error when using just python and python3 : [Errno 2]

At which point? When you're running pip... or when you're running python?

Are you able to take a screenshot of the command you're entering and the output and then upload it to an image hosting service (like imgur.com or lightshot)?

[JBRai]

I was trying to use pip3 and python 3 and script was not working invalid error.   I have updated python and python3 reinstalled the updated version and going to try again.

Ok, well if you have any more troubles, you'll either need to take a screenshot of the error... or copy/paste everything that is being shown in the terminal window when you try to run the commands.

"Invalid Error" and/or "[Errno 2]" don't really tell us anything, so it isn't possible to troubleshoot that properly.

I tried running it in application "IDLE" and got this error;
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#0>", line 1, in <module>
    corrupted_wif.py
NameError: name 'corrupted_wif' is not defined
tried again with different file name

please help me as i want to get this working and withdraw my btc i will transfer you some once it completes

Ok, well if you have any more troubles, you'll either need to take a screenshot of the error... or copy/paste everything that is being shown in the terminal window when you try to run the commands.

"Invalid Error" and/or "[Errno 2]" don't really tell us anything, so it isn't possible to troubleshoot that properly.

I installed "pip install bitcoinlib & pip install base58
ran using python corrupt_wif.py
failed please help - can't open file 'corrupt_wif.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory cannot open file

Did you actually copy/paste the code from the earlier post into a file and did you name that file corrupt_wif.py?

If so, where is that file?

[JBRai]

under corrupted_wif put my private with the missing character and left "should be" empty like ' '
the file is on my desktop under folder called BTC1
This is what i had copied

Ok... then your "terminal" needs to be in the 'BTC1' directory, when you run the python command, otherwise it won't be able to find the script

On MacOSX, the path to your desktop folder BTC should be something like:

Code:

/Users/YOURUSERNAME/Desktop/BTC1

so if you use the command:

Code:

cd /Users/YOURUSERNAME/Desktop/BTC1

You should see the command prompt change and show you the BTC1 folder... then if you try to run the script again with:

Code:

python corrupt_wif.py

It should work.

Hi All

I was wanting to know if anyone could provide me a search command as i am missing 4 characters from my private key base 58.  From the search command how would you know if the private key is valid or not?

My private key starts with K i have 48/49 characters i just require a search command so my friend can complete this for me?

please let me know thanks

You should get the private key with crunch...

Code:

crunch 52 52 123456789ABCDEFGHJKLMNPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijkmnopqrstuvwxyz -t L4rK1yDtCWekvXuE6oXD9jCYfFNV2cWRpVuPLBcCU2z8Tris@@@@ -o bf.txt

But there are two things to consider...

1.-If you have 48 chars or 49... then you add 4 or 3 @ at the end of the command.

2.-If the 4 missing characters are at the end of the string or whats the position of the missing chars because if they are random the chance to recover it is really small.
