Hello community, glad to be here, wanted to ask you because i have 3 issues:
Issue n1: I have 11/12 words + address from my HD Exodus wallet, i am trying Python,i have download it and trying to use this: https://github.com/tnkmt/brute.bip39 , is this the proper method? how to configure and start it? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=922987.0 tried also, seems easy but it give me ''error''
Issue n2: I have certainly a bad memory, and i use to be busy in real life, family, work, etc, ,but i was very surprised back in the days when i got a mycelium seed containing the word ''retailer'' twice. This wallet was used and left some cash there, Tried to restore later on but always says: invalid pneumonic..[can even noo longer unblock it in mycelium, ''retailer'' not a valid word''
Issue n3: I have a 9/12 seed just 9 first words, no more tips, address, etc.

Thank you in advance! please help me to get my btc back and let's grab a beer later on!!! Cheesy

why do you keep making the same mistake over and over again? Why don't you write down your entire seed?

regarding issue 2 retail is there in the bip39 wordlist so try that instead.

https://github.com/tnkmt/brute.bip39 , is this the proper method? how to configure and start it?
it seems like you have to modify the code each time to use it!
first edit this line: https://github.com/tnkmt/brute.bip39/blob/master/brute.py#L32 and enter your own seed (11 words)
then change this line https://github.com/tnkmt/brute.bip39/blob/master/brute.py#L38 to ....range(0,12):

better use this instead: https://github.com/gurnec/btcrecover

~ from my HD Exodus wallet,~ https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=922987.0 tried also, seems easy but it give me ''error''

the script in that topic only works for Electrum seeds which as far as i know are only used by Electrum, and Exodus wallet uses a different scheme (BIP39).

btcrecover is probably best... although, it doesn't work with bech32 addresses... there was a fork that implemented support for the P2WPKH-P2SH (aka Nested SegWit) addresses here: https://github.com/madacol/btcrecover but that doesn't work for bech32 either



Issue n2: I have certainly a bad memory, and i use to be busy in real life, family, work, etc, ,but i was very surprised back in the days when i got a mycelium seed containing the word ''retailer'' twice. This wallet was used and left some cash there, Tried to restore later on but always says: invalid pneumonic..[can even noo longer unblock it in mycelium, ''retailer'' not a valid word''
''retailer'' and appear twice.. 100% sure came from a mycelium. I can not post he whole phrase here tho.. has coin inside
That is what he was saying... the word "retail" IS in the BIP39 wordlist... so instead of trying to type in "retailer", just type in "retail" and see if that works. Mycelium uses BIP39 compatible seed, so it would not have given you the word "retailer".



Issue n3: I have a 9/12 seed just 9 first words, no more tips, address, etc.
There isn't really anything you can do with this... if you don't have at least one address to test against, there is very little chance you'll be able to figure out which combination is the correct one. You would need to test every single valid combination, get an address and see if it has been "used" in a transaction. Even if you assume that the 9 words you have are in the correct order, and you're only missing the last 3 words, you would need to test 2048 * 2048 * 2048 = 8,589,934,592 combinations to find all the valid ones (I think it works out that about one in every 16 combinations of words is a valid seed)... so that's 8,589,934,592 / 16 ~= 536,870,912 valid seeds... you'd need then to generate a few addresses for each seed and see if any of the addresses were "used" by seeing if they're included on the blockchain in any transactions.

Even with a fully automated script, that is going to take a "long time" to achieve.

Without any address (public key) you are probably out of luck. Can you check any transaction that you may have made to friends? It's essential to have at least one address to find the missing word(s).

Your best shot to find the missing parts are https://github.com/gurnec/btcrecover

Good luck!

9 words can also generate a private key. If you forget the address, you need to know when your Bitcoin address is. If it is before 2019, your mnemonic phrase is missing one, I can provide a utxo database port that I made to let you verify the scan independently。
you can seed  email [mod edit: email removed]

If I read above correctly don't send anyone your seed..as to the above on a computer NEVER go go on the internet again..and you destroy hour hard drive after

wiping if you got his method to work..er maybe...if it is just a database fix (i don't know zip about this kinda stuff)

I would not do that....on a 1 post 'newbie' account! That is even more dubious than what I say without knowing zip above!

100% sure, he will take your partial 'seed' and run with it and try his own tricks.

Ask more people, do more research.....don't do anything till you understand it at least as well as the people offering 'dubious' fixes.

Also if this helps and you are a BTC Billionaire..don't forget my little self! lavish me with Bitcoin...(hey, the odds are the same as him finding that word!) Smiley

(loosing private keys..shudder..I just 'wet' myself a little bit due to fear) ..Ack!
