Give a try to the classic John The Ripper.

Disclaimer: I have never needed to actually use it.

I've been working on setting up the GPU acceleration all night and finally got it working. Now I'm at approximately 10,000 passwords per minute which is already alot better.

It says that if i optimize the --global-ws and --local-ws parameters that it's possible to get a 10X improvement, so God willing I can get it upwards of 100,000 passwords a minute.

Yeah, finding optimal value for your GPU is important. BTW the author also state slow CPU could be bottleneck, where BTCRecover can't fully utilize GPU. See https://github.com/3rdIteration/btcrecover/issues/184#issuecomment-843130049.

Also, this can run multiple servers / computers / GPUs in parallel, so I'm gonna start working on that. Then I can scale up much more.

Server? If you mean renting device you don't have full access, make sure you can trust them (both company and it's worker) not to steal your data and Bitcoin.

I glimpsed over this thread, what's the deal with split personality of users SpaceMarine770 and SpaceMarine? Both roughly talk about the same thing as if it were one person. It's not forbidden to have multiple accounts, it's just strange to see it like in this thread.

Do you have an idea how you might have composed your wallet encryption password/passphrase?

Some people aren't very creative, use mostly the same password skeleton and just decorate it here and there a bit. Others invent something new an uncommon for their mind and forget it rather quickly because it's different and uncommon and unfamiliar. Well, you can think of other types of users who do their password stuff even more different.

Being too focussed can be hindering. Try to relax and think about it, gather bits and pieces that could be part of your personal password/passphrase scheme.

You've given as far as I remember from skimming over this thread not many details how good you are to construct password assembly rules for BTCrecover or Hashcat or Jack the Ripper, whatever you use. Are you sure, you're fit for this? It's no rocket science but needs a bit of computer awareness and affinity which not everybody has necessarily.


Please if anyone else has good advice or knows which experts I can talk to, let me know in this thread.
You could get in touch with Dave. Here's his announcement thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=239665.0

From what I've seen so far he's quite a professional and reputable guy (his services are discussed over a multitude of other threads in this forum). I haven't heard any bad things of his services. You pay him only when he succeeds to crack your wallet's encryption password or passphrase. Any service that asks for upfront payment is likely a scam from the start.

DYOR!!

Just my 2ct on reflecting the situation here.
