I have a 12 word seed phrase that appears to be wrong (Ethereum)

[DaMut]

As far as I know, if the seed is wrong the wallet will refuse to load the address. but why did he say the address seems empty?
before brute-forcing it, have you tried checking the wallet that contains the balance?
this is quite fishy, are you sure the seed is associated with an address that contains a balance inside of it? your friend might lie to you.

I don't know why he would lie to me, as far as I know he has no reason too.
The actual seed phrase he gave me checked out, but did not have any balance.

If the seed phrase that he gave to you is empty that means it has no balance or he has moved it out of the address. as I said before, did you know the address that contains the balance? if you know, check it first before doing brute-forcing because it is time-consuming (even I do not know it is going to work or not, I never used it to do this kind of thing. I used btcrecover to bruteforce the password).

I tried btcrecover, it could not recover the seed. And yes, the ETH is still in the original address.

Hello everyone...

Hopefully this is the right place to post something like this.

12 ETH was sent to a new Metamask wallet, and the seedphrase written down. We have all 12 words.

But when we try to restore the wallet, all associated addresses seem to be empty.


Does anyone know any software too partially crack Ethereum seed phrases? (Try combinations of similar words)

Hello! Are you still thinking about how to solve the seed phrase problem?

I have a program for recovering seed-phrases. If you or your friend are still interested in this question, then contact me - wokfjfom@10mail.org

I help to recover seed-phrases using my software and my equipment. MetaMask wallet only (BIP-39). Contacts - wokfjfom@10mail.org

Have you installed right metamask in browers or download real metamask ? 12 seeds is unique and you have to write down with correct and in safer file. Sometimes, it shows wrong with the change of letters in 12 words. Check whether the metamask you installed is correct or not.

12 ethereum is a very serious amount mate , when dealing with such amounts , at least for me, you can't be to carefull , these 12 words are your key's to your ETH , think that a lot of people learned all this the hard way , believe you learned your lesson to , still a hard loss

[Findingnemo]

@OP, I can see lot of people claiming that they can recover your funds but don't trust anyone they might steal your funds.

First of all post you ethereum address here to find whether 12ETH present there or moved to which addresses.

First there is no software that can partially crack Ethereum seed phrases, once lost that's the end of the wallet, if there is, many people will know about it (nevertheless, I stand to be corrected). Also, try checking the words to ensure they are spelt correctly, check the letters to ensure the are correctly marching the words. However, another idea you can try is, since you said the 12 words are correct, import the wallet to another wallet app like Imtoken or trust wallet or whichever you want; if the words are correct it will import and you can see your assets. Lastly, just a suggestion, in case of another time, write the 12 words twice in different places if possible before completing the wallet creation, just to ensure there is no discrepancies.

in my own opinion, i did advice you keep trying the one you already have, this is why i always tell people to always be very careful when writting down seed phrases most especially when the wallet involved contains any form of money, cus if by any small mistake, you miss a letter or added a letter that no there, BOOM, money is more than half way gone, except you are able to figure out a way to retrace and make a correction, you are likely never to own your money again cus theres no software that can help.

Did you download the correct link for metamask? I'm thinking is that you might have downloaded the fake version of metamask and the seed that was given to you is also known by the creator of it. Which means that after seeing that you have sent ETH to it, they've sweep your balance.

yes that's right, it's likely some kind of duplicate metamask. because as long as I use a hard wallet in which using the phrase is always safe, because I myself know the structure.
related to solving these 12 words is very difficult and will even result in a complex arrangement of patterns. 12 words x 12 positions. I guess that's quite a problem.

lol READ what he said...   omg
he MADE an ETH addy, SENT 12 ETH to it, then wrote down the seed words
NOW hes trying to restore it, but it wont take the seed...        he says nothing about being robbed... now if he said "the ETH was transferred OUT", you might be right, but he didnt

@OP, theres no way for me to know from what u have said if i would be helping you jack someone (maybe you stole those seed words?) so i wont suggest how to solve this
imo, next time save a priv key put it in a text file and encrypt that text file. problem solved

some time all these questions or answers just don't make any sense.

[minatour]

There is no software to crack seed phrase, once you don't have access to the correct seed, just forget the wallet. But u can check the seed well, probably when writing down the seed down, there was a mistake with one of the word, probably is something u can guess and replace.

To all those who claim that "there is no software for seed phrase recovery" I want to say that you are wrong. Such a program exists! Another question: how long will it take to recover this phrase? Yes, this is a rather long process, especially if you need to restore all 12 words.
However, turning to the author of the topic, I will say this: if you write me your words in a personal message (wokfjfom@10mail.org), for example, in the first 9-10 words, I can restore your seed phrase using my program and equipment. Yes, I will need some time for this. It all depends on the number of words available.
Since you do not see your funds during normal loading of the seed phrase, I will also have to look for your address in deterministic wallets, which will further delay the recovery process.
I will also need your public address to check the availability of funds in the amount of 12 eth.
What do I want for this? If our partnership is successful, you will give me, of your own free will, 50% of the amount in this wallet.
In this case: You get the opportunity to get back into possession of 50% of the funds from the account, or stay with your useless seminal phrase. For my part: I run the risk of wasting my time and resources (also quite significant) and not finding anything or getting my own 50% for finding a seed phrase. This is an equal partnership. Moreover, I do not know what % of my share will go to pay for electricity and how long it will take. But I can say that at the moment the speed is: 3507.2 seeds per second.
And regarding the fact that some people write, that you wrote down incorrectly or something else, I want to remind everyone of the rules of BIP-39, which read:
https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0039.mediawiki
BIP-39: Wordlist
An ideal wordlist has the following characteristics:
a) smart selection of words
   - the wordlist is created in such a way that it's enough to type the first four
     letters to unambiguously identify the word
b) similar words avoided
   - word pairs like "build" and "built", "woman" and "women", or "quick" and "quickly"
     not only make remembering the sentence difficult but are also more error
     prone and more difficult to guess
c) sorted wordlists
   - the wordlist is sorted which allows for more efficient lookup of the code words
     (i.e. implementations can use binary search instead of linear search)
   - this also allows trie (a prefix tree) to be used, e.g. for better compression
The wordlist can contain native characters, but they must be encoded in UTF-8 using Normalization Form Compatibility Decomposition (NFKD).

Why is it profitable for me that you give me 50% of your funds on the wallet? Because it will be honestly earned money, not stolen money !!!

It doesn't make sense，i think the biggest possibility is where did you get it wrong，think back to that carefully，at last，wish you could get your 12 ETH back.

[orengitu]

I did not know of any software that can crack ETH, but you should try and cehcke the 12 words very well and mind you some of the software are Case sensitive. Make use you type the correct words with correct letter.

[bitcon]

Theoretically, hacking ETH is possible. But it is almost impossible to do this. In practice, you just need a very large number of computers and capacities. The system itself is resistant to hacking, problems can only occur with the wallet. Attempts to pick up the keys are fantastic, there are countless combinations.

[jahepahit]

It simply means the seed phrase you copied down is not correct or written in a correct order. Meanwhile I think you should check the transaction when you sent the 12 ETH to the wallet and check if the address tallies with the ones you saw when you inserted the seed phrase. This is only how I could link it up. Ortherwise it's gone.

One thing i know is that the blockchain is consistent in its dealing; in this light it is impossible for your written seed to display or load up a different wallet account. I urge you to do a clarity test. The etherumm address you sent 2 eth to, note it down. Then the seed phrases you have, import it to trust wallet; then copy the etherum address after importing.

After doing that, visit ethplorer, or etherscanio to scan the wallets address; if they are 2 different wallet, then you have a wrong seed. If its the same wallet address and you cannot find the 12 eth; then call the sender of the eth, or check if the transaction failed or got completed.

This could be a rare scenario when your already have the seeds written down and supplied it wrong once restoring your wallet. I don't think that you are completely written up correctly coz that was impossible it declines. I'd never experience this before and one of my practice to check if my wallet address is accessible, I open the wallet in the other tab and once I can still open it then it means that all of my seeds phrase are right and it was safe to make deposits.

[gurunanakji777]

You must consider that you already lost your 12 Ethereum. From next time always keeps your seed phrase in 2 places to be safer side and always try to login through the seed phrase or private key after that do transaction in your wallet & sorry to say there is no way to get back your correct seed phrase.
