Topic: Private Key lost one character (Read 6446 times)

I have released a new version, now it is possible to check if one of characters is wrong (verify checksum).
Usage:
or

Done in 1.3 

Later I will add searching for characters on other positions (not only at the end).

Hello @JBRai, Did you recover your wallet yet?, I would like to ask some more questions. Could you contact me back please? [Skype live:i2omio]

How would you restore correct WIF with 54 characters?   how would i sort out the original privkey?

If it is 54, I would remove characters from the end and try to restore correct WIF.
For other WIFs - it is difficult because you do not know what you look for. It is not a problem to generate WIF - the point it to find your address.

I do not even know the btc address for both private keys this is how long ago it is.  Also i have another address which 54 characters long i need a script which will fix it.

Yes, of course. In fact it was the fastest to do, just in few minutes. I rely on bitcoinj code to verify signature and load/reject key.
If character is lost in the middle, then of course it becomes much more interesting, but for 1-2 characters still doable in the reasonable time.

if i understood your Java code correctly you are looping through all chars and that's a lot of unnecessary code. if the missing character is at the end then that character is the checksum which is recoverable in a couple of very simple steps:
- replace the missing char with anything from the charset (like 1)
- decode the result using Base58 encoding (not Base58check which is usually the method used to check and remove checksum)
- remove the last 4 bytes
- now encode this result with Base58check
you have the key!

this works for 1 to 4 or probably up to 6 missing characters at the end.

ps. i don't think @JBRai problem is with 1 char or even that char being at the end.

Do you know finally what is the exact situation?
If you are sure that you miss characters at the end and even you know the expected BTC address, it is very easy to find.

You only need to put your "corrupted WIF" in on the line that says: corrupted_wif = '.................'

The "#should be" line is just a comment in the code, it will not be executed so can be left blank. As long as you have the line:


Filled out correctly, then it should work OK!

Thanks it has worked, but the address is not getting accepted into blockchain it say invalid address Private key address? please help

how do i use Crunch do i have copy the code in txt file and run it in terminal on mac ? i am using a mac book pro

You should get the private key with crunch...


But there are two things to consider...

1.-If you have 48 chars or 49... then you add 4 or 3 @ at the end of the command.

2.-If the 4 missing characters are at the end of the string or whats the position of the missing chars because if they are random the chance to recover it is really small.

Ok... then your "terminal" needs to be in the 'BTC1' directory, when you run the python command, otherwise it won't be able to find the script

On MacOSX, the path to your desktop folder BTC should be something like:

so if you use the command:

You should see the command prompt change and show you the BTC1 folder... then if you try to run the script again with:

It should work.

under corrupted_wif put my private with the missing character and left "should be" empty like ' '
the file is on my desktop under folder called BTC1
This is what i had copied

import bitcoin.base58
from bitcoin.core import b2x, x
from bitcoin.wallet import CBitcoinSecret, P2PKHBitcoinAddress
from bitcoin.core import Hash

def insert_char(string, char, i):
    return string[:i+1]+char+string[i+1:]

def verify_wif_checksum(wif):
    byte_string = b2x(bitcoin.base58.decode(wif))
    private = byte_string[:-8]
    checksum = byte_string[-8:]
    return checksum == b2x(Hash(x(private)))[:8]

def candidate_wifs(corrupted_wif):
    candidates = []
    for i in range(len(corrupted_wif)):
        for char in bitcoin.base58.B58_DIGITS:
            candidate_wif = insert_char(corrupted_wif, char, i)
            if verify_wif_checksum(candidate_wif):   
                candidates.append(candidate_wif)
    return candidates


# Provide a WIF private key with a single missing character.
corrupted_wif = '5HueCGU8rMjxEXxiPuD5BDku4kFqeZyd4dZ1jvhTVqvbTLvyTJ'
#   Should be:  ''

for candidate_wif in candidate_wifs(corrupted_wif):
    print(candidate_wif)

Did you actually copy/paste the code from the earlier post into a file and did you name that file corrupt_wif.py?

If so, where is that file?

I installed "pip install bitcoinlib & pip install base58
ran using python corrupt_wif.py
failed please help - can't open file 'corrupt_wif.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory cannot open file

Ok, well if you have any more troubles, you'll either need to take a screenshot of the error... or copy/paste everything that is being shown in the terminal window when you try to run the commands.

"Invalid Error" and/or "[Errno 2]" don't really tell us anything, so it isn't possible to troubleshoot that properly.
