Damaged paper wallets with balance of 43 BTC and 5 BTC. Pre-New Year adventures.

[Lucius]

I've never had such disasters before)))))
It wasn't me who threw out the trash from the shredder, but my wife. Unfortunately.

Children playing with pieces of paper worth millions, women throwing away trash worth millions - that's a script for a movie

Maybe you should contact James Howells, you have something in common, his wife also threw a fortune in the trash - although it was a hard drive. Whether the story is true or not, whoever behaves so irresponsibly, perhaps did not deserve to have so much money.

....
I do not want to look for the key for 2 years.
.....

I am heartily glad that I was able to regain access to the first wallet
And about the second... Maybe 2 years is the period that will preserve and multiply for you the value of this stock !? ? Maybe it's for the best - in 2 years, maybe the value of bitcoin will be 1 million dollars !

I can see that the wallet suddenly became active. If you can provide evidence that this belongs to OP and the whole story is true I will change my feedback and apologize publicly.
It is always good to be a skeptic.
A signed message from the new/old wallet will do.
It is quite odd though why would OP will create a topic on 4/01/2025 when the wallet already regained on 28/12/2024, 06:17:23?

I wrote before. I'm not going to prove anything to you. I don't sell my symbols. Leave me alone.

I hope my experience in recovering keys will help someone recover damaged keys.

Do you need help recovering the wallets though?
Or is it just a story you wanted to share with the forum?

If the former, I believe the second wallet can be recovered, judging from the image.

I do not know how to sign a message in Bitcoin. I no longer have the lower two keys. I took off the coins, cut the sheet and threw out unnecessary keys so as not to get confused.

you know how to recover the wallet and moved the coins, but you don't know how to sign a message with the address? hmmmm... is that maybe because you made all this up?
do you think we are stupid?

I have asked #1, #2, #3, #4 times in this topic to clarify (directly accuse you) things. This is the last time I am commenting here and I will speak my mind like before, ' This is an attempt to lure people to scam them by selling fake leftover keys.'. I think my trust feedback is totally justified.
I am saying it again, ''If you can provide a signed message I will publicly apologize to you''.

Please advise. Does the "Pollard's Kangaroo" method search for keys faster than the "Baby Step Giant Step (BSGS)" algorithm? Or do these methods have the same search speed?

You will surely get the Key much much faster using the Kangaroo on a good GPU, compared to BSGS. Try if you sincerely want to.

So just lock the topic... You created it and you can lock it.

You are throwing the bch and btg coins?
bch coins still worth 20k.

Tell me how to do this? Thanks.
