Just move on bro, you can't retrieve it. Next time try to be more careful. I had similar issue when I just started crypto, so sorry about that OK.

So if they can figure out the private key of him. Means that, none of our private key is safe here?
Sorry for this conclusion, but it makes me wonder. Imagine if i want to solve someone private's key but pretend that it's my address?

Privatekeys have dozens of letters. They are not bruting force all of them, but 8. And it is not brute Force simple, as coding enthusiast pointed out.

Your conclusion is completely wrong because private keys are composed by dozens of letters, not 8only.

So sorry to hear that. But losing 8 characters as it is said it will be difficult to find the right private key. What's more, is the combination of various numbers that might not be right. However, if indeed the application can promise, you need to try it as one way to recovery. But of course, you have to be patient if the hope of finding a combination of private key numbers cannot be achieved. This can be used as learning that we should be more careful next time.

Considering the complexity of a wallet private key, the odds of guessing a 8-characters alphanumeric private keys are 1 in 2.1834E+14 (62^8). That's one in 218 trillion-plus. I don't think you have the chances of restoring those letters anymore.


trillion -plus number and letter guessing to recover the op private key meaning nothing chance to get recover trillion alphanumeric private key is goes long time consume and possible to get negative result, i suggest to the op is better to move on than and forget it and start another investment and this a lesson always keep safe the private key to avoid lost funds.

Hi there
I have lost the last 8 letters of my ethereum wallet private keys. I wonder if there is a way to restore those letters. I searched the net and found out that it is possible to do it usuing a C or Python program.
If you know a way to solve my problem , please let me know
thanks 
if it is possible then it will be very good for everyone who lost their private key is unexpectedly but I if the possibilities not there then there will be nothing available to restore your investment and your wallet.

definitely some possibilities are need to be available because the mistakes are common if we are men so the private hi department will definitely need to consider some changes on their security system and the availability of giving back the private for particular reasons is needed to be implemented in every wallet this is my opinion

Well that's very hard to say that ethereum's private key is the important thing to recover your account once you lost it. It will definitely lost all your save or forgot passwords.

This is possible depending on how far you want to go on the search for the key, remember there are no impossibilities on this universe as far as technology is concern

The question, how is that happened? if 8 letters have been lost it means you're the one who did it, it could possibly that when you tried to save it , it maybe you've erased some of it which you didn't notice that. So I could say that there's no way for you to recover it  mate. It may not be lost in your account but it will remain there for life.

Well if 8 characters are last 8 characters or if you know characters position then you can try the brute force otherwise there is no chance.

I have also accidentally lost the key to my ethereum wallet, and I can still open my wallet with the keystore / json file that I downloaded when creating the ethereum wallet, you can also do this if the password when creating your wallet still remembers and you save, because after entering the keystore / json file, the next step is to enter the password we entered when creating the wallet.

What wallet do you use? if you use MEW, there is actually another option, namely Keystore. therefore, I always save my keystore to open the wallet for fear that the private key will be forgotten. and after opening through the keystore, you can look back at your private key.

If you lose your private key, I don't think there is a way to restore it
Next time make sure you save your private key in a safe place so it doesn't disappear

I think this is a lesson for all of us, we should keep the Private key carefully, so back up multiple copies with paper, and should not save PK on the computer

Probably https://walletrecoveryservices.com/ would be a good idea.

They are professionals and have a good reputation in the forum
As coding enthusiastt said it is doable.
So if they can figure out the private key of him. Means that, none of our private key is safe here?
Sorry for this conclusion, but it makes me wonder. Imagine if i want to solve someone private's key but pretend that it's my address?

I agree no wallet can be safe I wonder ho ware they going to do that, but if it's only 4 to 8 letter of private key they can brute force it, but if we are talking about the whole private key, then we are all in trouble, they should have a limitation on how they are going to retrieve those private keys

8 letters? It it same like you lost the whole private key, so many possible combinations.  Cry
I wonder how it ever happened? You wrote the key on paper and the paper get wet?   Huh

That is a big lost to yr side as restoring it is not sure , bcis non one is having or holding any if the character and it usually writing to never loss or share with anyone as that is the key to access all yr funds but now that you lost it I dont think there is remedy to it .

So u need to always write down yr private key in a private place that you can be sure to always get hands on anytime you wish.

You need to provide more details, for example if the wallet is already logged into an app like imtoken, you can easily recover the private key as long as you still have access to your password, but if that is not the case, I think there is no way to recover it, if it was possible, everybody's wallets would be vulnerable to attack.

This is a very serious issue, i don't think you can recover your private key cause the missing letters are just much. It would have been easier id it were just one or two letters missing. Next time be very careful with your keys

I dont think it can be recovered, and i believe there is no possible way, because it is very complex to remember and i think there is no programs out there that could retrieve those missing letters, if there is, then there could be a lot hackers nowadays, just understanding the situation of yourself now, if there is a program that could recovered, then there could be thousands of scammers nowadays, the best thing to do is to create another one, and keep it in the safest place on earth.
