It looks like you just haven't been successful in installing the necessary dependencies. You are right that you don't need coincurve or ecdsa libraries for recovering a Bitcoin Core wallet. Then OpenCL libraries aren't installed by default when you install btcrecover, and you need to install them separately. What did you do to try to install them? Are you sure you have installed the right versions for your version of Python?

I'm not really familiar with Windows,* but this section of the documentation should talk you through getting it installed: https://btcrecover.readthedocs.io/en/latest/GPU_Acceleration/#pyopencl-installation-for-windows

*Do you have a Linux machine you can run this on instead? In my experience it generally works far more smoothly.

I dont have any technical knowledge on how you can do it with the tools but I can only suggest you to a right person or service that might help you. You can try this service of walletrecoveryservices^[1], this service have lots of good reviews. Just take note he charge fees for X% of the total funds you want to recover.

I did reach out again but I have not heard back after notifying him I found some password hints. I also read somewhere that he is only accepting wallets with a certain amount of coin in them but I'm not sure if it's still up to date.

I found an old paper with some hints on it. There's numbers, words, letters, sequence of digits etc.. I also left my self a hint that part of the password will be caps lock(or only one letter in the sequence is caps).

I'm trying to put together lists of possible combinations. The password is broken down into 3 sections. 4 letters, 3 numbers/symbols, and 4 letters. So I want to have btcrecover guess all possible combinations. I'm an idiot and "encrypted" myself a message on a piece of paper. I have quite a few ideas on ways I could have encrypted the message in 2013 though.

I am trying to run the tests with GPU enabled. The open CL tests were skipped even though I've installed requirements for the GPU acceleration.

I tested the install by using

Code:

python run-all-tests.py -vv

Code:

FAILED (errors=20, passes=319, skips=75)

Skips and errors consist of

Code:

-- requires OpenCL and a compatible device and 

-- requires coincurve 

-- requires ecdsa 

//and a few others.

Since I'm using bitcoin core and wallet.dat I'm pretty sure I just need the OpenCL and compatible device tests to pass correct? I believe everything required for bitcoin core has been installed correctly. So how do I enable GPU and get it to test and pass?

Using Windows 10 and bitcoin core. Any help would be appreciated.
