Topic: How do I restore the last 7 characters of the private key? (Read 862 times)

because in the last post the app asks for it and some other do need it to.
but thought it would help a bit.

This Java program also works. https://github.com/MrMaxweII/repairPrivKey

I do not understand what you want to try out exactly.
Do you have a incomplete key ?

Or do you just want to find random key's by rotating numbers ?

In that case there are better formats to work with because this type of key (WIF) is unsuitable for that purpose since it uses some additional information so you will generate an awful lot of invalid key's this way.
It's only suitable when you have a large portion of a known but incomplete key and need to find out the missing numbers.

For example this is useful when you have a damaged QR Code.
Suppose you printed out your paper wallet and someone accidentally spilled a cup of coffee over it.
Inktjet and coffee do not mix well together.
However, you was fast enough to grab it out of the liquid before it got soaked entirely, but some bits got hit and faded away into eternity.

In that case you try to decode what is left of the QR Code and then you can start rotating numbers on the missing parts.
But that's going to take a lot of time and a lot of invalid keys and the rate of success depends on the amount of data that you was able to recover from the QR Code or whatever is the source of the remaining data.

This does not happen all that much or at least i can not imagine this would happen a lot so im a bit curious about the intentions of these members that say they want to try this. 

why do you ask? i believe that was just a random example that OP posted to show what he means so it shouldn't matter. besides all variations are already posted before and if you are curious you could look at those keys.

what is the address that goes with that privkey.
are you still looking for the pk.

I know what this is about, voprosbitcoin have you tried decoding these wif's you have into their hex or integer value ?  

Do they start with 5HpHagT65TZzG1PH3CSu63k8DbpvD8s5ip4nEB3kEsre ?

Oh and if you are interested to know the source of these keys take a look here: https://privatekeys.pw/puzzles/bitcoin-puzzle-tx

This is also possible on Windows, you just open Command Prompt, run the program as you would on linux and use the same > file.txt syntax to output to a file. Command Prompt also supports piping output and input from files.

Thank you very much. At the first opportunity, I will definitely thank you financially.

Done!

Use a proper OS a.k.a. linux for faster and more secure handling of sensitive data

For windows, it works just like with linux.
You can redirect the output of a program running in the command line using >
If you need to add content to a file, use >>

Yes, I have Windows and I really need to output data to a text file.

I will add this option soon.
If you are using linux, you may redirect output to file ..... > file.txt, I think on Mac you may do it too.
On Windows I am not sure about it.

Just add '1111111'.

And it shows that private key must be in the range from d314ba22f16d7e8d5d0f629deca7bc6f2133296378bb300116b40afbb1a4a20a to d314ba22f16d7e8d5d0f629deca7bc6f2133296378bb300116b40afbb1a4a40c

How do I turn this 5KRFMvDqVFALC3t2qiRuctoxGLoTqRuLdoqqpdqustqv into hex if it has missing letters?

High five!

How did you come up with "2,207,984,167,552" possibilities? I come up with right at 500+ possibilities.
Edit: I read where you come up with same number as me, 514.

Well, it took me a minute to get numbers and input into script. Once script ran, it took .5 seconds. 

10 seconds I would say.

Would take less than 2 minutes to recover all addresses with all 7 possible characters.
