[XMR] Monero - A secure, private, untraceable cryptocurrency

[menoiazei]

 Hello
out of stupidity have the 20 out of the 25 words of my seed, last 5 words are missing, is there any way to recover this wallet??

Do you know the order of what you have?  Is it the last 5 missing?  Or are you just 5 short?

The rest are in order only Last five missing

That's good.  The last one is a checksum.  So that limits your permutations slightly.  Your brute force script could be able to calculate the checksum, or at worst just cycle through all 24 other words as it is also always one of those.

A good CPU will be able to work out the four missing words in a matter of days, I would think.  But I am no expert on this subject.  Your bottleneck will be checking the address balance.  Thats the rub with Monero and could make it ,uch slower.  Perhaps someone smarter than me can weigh in.

I had one more thought.

Do you have the primary account (address) for this wallet?  If you do you are in luck.  Your script can just calculate the main address and check that against the known address.

I believe the Monero mnemonic dictionary contains 1625 words.  That means the set your missing words are in is this size:

1625*1625*1625*1625*24 = 167,349,609,375,000 possible combinations. 

That is a HUGE NUMBER and would take a mountain full of monks a long time to get through.  But it's only a number in the TRILLIONS (I mean we can even pronounce that one).  So it will take a computer much less time.  But to brute force that many keys would require (I would think) you to have the original address so you do not have to scan the blockchain to know if that address as coins associated with it.

Some tools for you:
The Monero Mnemonic dictionary: https://github.com/monero-project/monero/blob/master/src/mnemonics/english.h
Coinomi BIP39 (+ Monero) tool: https://coinomi.github.io/tools/bip39/
A monero only address generator: https://xmr.llcoins.net/

There is one other possible caveat I just thought of.  If you wallet is VERY old it might have used another system to calculate the hash etc.  I think the original non deterministic version of monero addresses used lots of rounds of keccak or something to scramble things.  So knowing which version of address it was would be useful. (well, necessary)

I suppose it comes down to how much value was in that wallet, and how much effort (or money) are you willing to spend to crack it...

Obviously finding the old wallet files on a computer and remembering the password would be WAY MORE EASY than any of the above.

OK.  I was in the middle of ragequitting the monero community when you caught my attention, damnit.  So I am going to get back to that now.  Good luck!

 Hello

Trial and error for the rest 5 words. Of course you are gonna need a script for that. Cheers.

Can you please give me some more information about this??

I just check and BTCrecover doesn't manage Monero wallets. A script is a piece of code to do a "simple" task; like, in your case, to try every combination of the seed words until the right one is reached.

Cheers!.

 Need to restore wallet because got XMR balance in it

Lost the phone that's why I try to recover the wallet...

Reason I don't have the full seed is I guess cake didn't show the full seed on screen when i put it on paper so I did not write all the words down and did not count the words and that's why last 5 missing
and yes I have the wallet address

what would be your recommendation ??

Anyone knows what is this FMFW exchange supporting Monero having one of the biggest trading volume from all exchanges?
You can find it on coingecko website: https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/monero#markets

Apparently its Bitcoin.com exchange rebranded.

https://www.reddit.com/r/btc/comments/prve3r/bitcoincom_exchange_is_becoming_fmfwio/


Considering hitBTC is second on that list and it is definitely a SCAM Exchange I would be pretty Leary of that FMFW and certainly would not trust any of those volume numbers.

I got a KYC demand by email suddenly, so I recommend not to use hitBTC. You never know, if a criminal gang is behind an exchange, so better stay save with anonymity.

You are right, they probably have fake volume, and that is very stupid name choosen for branding.
I visited their website and you have to accept rules during registartion that they can freeze your account and coins anytime.

Is anyone here mining Monero and what mining pool you are using?

Haven't mined since 2015 or was it 14?

Well anyway I would use P2pool if I were to mine now.

Cash2VN enabling Remittances to Vietnam via Monero (XMR)

Cash2VN, the Crypto Remittance Platform for Vietnam, has added Monero (XMR) as an additional choice for crypto users wanting to send remittances to Vietnam (recipients can receive VND either into their bank account or pick up cash at various locations).

P2pool grown a lot this year but I don't understand why so many people are still using minexmr for mining.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA256

Dear Monero users and participants of the Monero ecosystem,

Some vulnerabilities have been identified in the implementation of
Monero multisignature wallets.
These vulnerabilities do not affect the theory supporting multisigs,
but affect the current wallet code implementing them.

Initially disclosed and discussed via the vulnerability response
process*, the discussion has been enlarged to other key developers and
MRL contributors. We agreed together that a public announcement had to
be made.

These vulnerabilities affect (i) multisignature wallet creation and
(ii) multisignature transaction signing.
They can lead to funds being stolen by one of the signing parties.

Until a fix is released, we strongly recommend not to perform any
multisignature transaction unless all signing parties can be trusted.
If all signing parties cannot be trusted, no transaction should be
attempted. Funds are not at risk if they are not moved and if the
wallet-creation process was not abused.

A fix is currently being reviewed. At this stage we hope to have a
pull request ready within a week, together with a more detailed
description of the issues.

Regards,

binaryFate

Is there something new that I don't see or what?
I think that monero was added on txstreet website months ago if not longer.
