Topic: Private key missing 29 characters (Read 936 times)

If you lose private keys, you lose all your crypto assets forever. ... If you lose the private keys, you lose the ownership rights of your wallets forever. Because it is not possible to reset the private keys as one can do in a password security system.

This is wrong:
Maximum

The correct is:

for puzzle 64 19 letter need to be permutate,
i divided the entire key space into 4 equal parts then calculated
KwDiBf89QgGbjEhKnhXJuH7LrciVrZi3q this is partilkey Yv, Yw,Yx,Yy,Yz, Z1,Z2,Z3,Z4,Z5,Z6,Z7 are the next seires where the 64 puzzle wif would be
like

KwDiBf89QgGbjEhKnhXJuH7LrciVrZi3qYw
KwDiBf89QgGbjEhKnhXJuH7LrciVrZi3qYx

a python script with permutation that validates checksum with gpu attribution can solve it in matter of hours
thank you

Hey all brothers,
 
what my point exactly is not you guys getting
so any wif private key has base58 characters 0-1,A-Z,a-z right
this the partial key L39HAHFF1p6vxjBEe4YMxno
recently i got some 35th and 36th letter L39HAHFF1p6vxjBEe4YMxno___________RM________________
what is exactly did is i retraced hex position back and forth and i calculated the private key point where we get matching upto first 23
This the hex B0BEA32711DBB7429BA37464FFBB4C900000207A551210D0BFB07740F939B011
this is the key L39HAHFF1p6vxjBEe4YMxnorYuzZ8gWzNxpP1Yuf5K7Mkbxao6Sz
after xno i slighty moved forward upto r so i retraced back
so i got key L39HAHFF1p6vxjBEe4YMxnnzzyTH8uAzpuaka5Mve1KwLUnW9D3k -- it has xnn -our target starts with xno
the hex is B0BEA32711DBB7429BA37464FFBB4C8CDA2FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF --its minimum
and i caclulated maximum hex B0BEA32711DBB7429BA37464FFBB4C9090100000000000000000000000000000 --its maximum
the key is L39HAHFF1p6vxjBEe4YMxnp1QiK7QGtu7PW3QBawhrq2Wd7f6qTN   -- it has xnp--- so this maximum range i observed and learnt that private key follws particular pattern for every step forward in hex value
like L39HAHFF1p6vxjBEe4YMxno, L39HAHFF1p6vxjBEe4YMxno1, L39HAHFF1p6vxjBEe4YMxno2 upto L39HAHFF1p6vxjBEe4YMxno9 then L39HAHFF1p6vxjBEe4YMxnoA-L39HAHFF1p6vxjBEe4YMxnoZ,then L39HAHFF1p6vxjBEe4YMxnoa-L39HAHFF1p6vxjBEe4YMxnoz then the next series starts L39HAHFF1p6vxjBEe4YMxnop so its moves in this pattern first 1-9,then A-Z then a-z.
is there any python scripts that permutates and validates the checksum matching our address with base58 chracters within the above start and end ranges,
the address for this target key is 1Btud1pqADgGzgBCZzxzc2b1o1ytk1HYWC
Thanks for your advice and suggestion

I also noticed that, he put two different wallet address and he said he has a partial private key on the first wallet address. So, I think he is not really the owner of that wallet addresses with huge amount of bitcoin and just trying to know the private key base on his insane talent.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               

Maybe it's Satoshi's drive, lol.

It looks like a practical joke played out in a cipher.  That L3 line could be making fun, possibly containing intentional words "HAH" and "no".  Who knows what the author's intention was, if there was indeed such an intention. Sorry OP, but I'm 99% certain that you're wasting time.

I see he said he has 2 addresses he is looking for so which address he is looking for that he has the partial private key for?

Can you tell us more about the private key? You haven't convinced us that this wasn't a dark web deal and you shouldn't hide it, otherwise we can't help you. Anything that is being traded within an anonymous marketplace where each person uses a (pseudo)anonymous currency shouldn't be trusted.

You said that you used bitaddress.org, but you left it there. What happened with the middle characters during the generation? Didn't you write them down? Are these funds yours? How could you not care about your key since you received around the equivalent of four million dollars two years ago?

You can't really believe that you'll find it via brute forcing...

Sorry, I made two mistakes.
First is adding 1 less character (total 51 instead of 52). The correct values are:
Minimum
Maximum
Diff:
1253753004473247624297767682974128968010 = 1.25E+39 (which is close to your initial value).

Second is that the number I posted is all permutations of the base58 characters if they are placed in their missing positions (ie. 58²⁹) instead of using the method above since all missing characters are from one place at the end without anything in between.

Up to 12 characters from the end can be recovered very easily since you'd essentially be checking less than a million keys. The problem is that the numbers grow very fast as the number of missing chars increase.

let me tell you something broh..
if you are sure it is yours..then go for it. it deserves to be searched.. i know it is impossible, but you don't have any other choice.
BUT, if you got it from DARK WEB, for get it, it is waste of time.

This what i have been trying to know the root about bitcoin private key, bitcoin private key is not phrase code that when it's lost or misplaced the person dont have access to the wallet, is any way we can retrieve the key online if been misplaced, because i dont understand the word  GPU and ASIC, please i need more education for these.

nope brother
the private key starts with L3
the key ranges you posted private keys start with K
3803496f04b8c0f3e8335eb24b07a4a15335d37bff03bafbb19640a287e0609a
Ky6bKVgbJPFRiAPxvBo4ftiAMkKCBjAbWfVRWEevsHxgULTthBFB
i can able to recover last or even mid where missing seven to eight or upto 10 in matter of minutes thats not an issue
its more than 10 that whats the issue is i am expermienting on it anyway thanks for your suggestions brother

Actually the smallest and biggest values for the half key posted above (which only has 23 characters by the way) are wrong, the correct values are the following:
3803496f04b8c0f3e8335eb24b07a4a15335d37bff03bafbb19640a287e0609a
3803496f04b8c0f3e8335eb24b07a4a16378ffd2a031ba2c431c7ca071115174
And the difference between the two values is 1.37E+51 which makes sense since 55% of the key is missing.

Missing your private key characters means that you cannot access it. Moreover, if it is those many amounts of the characters. It is only about 2 characters, you may check them randomly one by one although you will need many hours maybe.
But 29? I think that it is very difficult to get your private key back or can access your wallet.

Neither one has an outgoing transaction, you will have to have the public to use that and using that will still take a long time to search.

As you wrote, there are potentially 1262600442496196964774503731383792304129 keys to check. That is the number I used in the calculation to determine the time in my previous post.

However, there might be a way to theoretically optimize it down to to a much smaller number of keys (see Pollard's kangaroo ECDLP solver), which would give you an answer quickly (again assuming you could check 1x10²¹ keys per second), but it would require around a huge amount of storage (potentially more than exists on the planet).

Edit: Actually, I don't know what the optimized numbers would be, but that's not really important here.

No one can return it, even the support of the party you use will not be responsible because the private key is a keyword that is not the same as the others either based on the arrangement of numbers, sentences, and everything is left to the user, either in the form of Files etc. So when you lose all that, it means you can't find it again, if you forget to save it, if it's not stored properly then the business is done.

I've experienced it all.

Can you tell us the history of your private key and how the 29 characters have gone missing?

There might be another way to recover them than brute-forcing them. If you can tell us the exact history maybe we can find some way to recover them but if you just randomly generated the 23 character then it's impossible to find the exact private key of that wallet.

Are you sure this is yours I agree with kaggie post above why did you post the partial private key here?
It's risky I would suggest you to remove it if this is actually yours(Watch out for Big eyes out there).

I have so many questions.

If you think it's recoverable from this, and worth $300 million, why would you post that much of the key online?
If it's yours, then do you know where you stored the rest of the key?

If it's not your keys, then how do you know that it's even part of real key? It could be literally anything or even nothing.

Why should i check entire range if i know upto 136bit please check start and end hex values mentioned in above post
B0BEA32711DBB7429BA37464FFBB4C8CDA2FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF -start
B0BEA32711DBB7429BA37464FFBB4C90901000000000000000000000000000 -end
