BTCRecover Install + GPU Acceleration on Windows (Python 3) Crypto Seed, Wallet Password Recovery
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 жов 2024
- BTCRecover is a tool that lets you recover from mistakes in your seed phrase or wallet password.
A quick guide that runs through how to install Python 3, BTCRecover and all required dependencies. It also covers how to install PyOpenCL in Windows so that you can enable GPU acceleration to speed things up for Bitcoin Core (and derived forks), Blockchain.com main password and second password, Electrum passwords as well as BIP39 and Electrum seeds.
Github Repository: github.com/3rd...
Installation Guide: btcrecover.rea...
Once you have done the process here, you can then follow the steps in any of my other BTCRecover related videos.
---------------------
If you are new to Crypto, my suggestion is that you start with buying ~$150 worth of Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin @ Coinbase and get familiar with storing it, moving it around, etc.
For your first purcahse, just stick with CoinBase: www.coinbase.c...
For Trading, just start with Binance: www.binance.co...
By sticking with large, reputable exchanges for your first purchase (Coinbase) and first trade (Binance) you can avoid getting scammed right at the start by purchasing a non-existing coin off a scammy exchange. (You would be surprised how many people fall into this trap)
Don't have a hardware wallet?
Be safe and buy them direct from the manufacturer. (Not just through some random on eBay, Amazon, etc)
Get a Ledger: shop.ledger.co...
(If you are just starting out, I would just recommend a Ledger Nano S)

I didn't't realize the extent of the work you have put into this channel. I'm going to send everyone I can to your page. Great work mate, hear from you soon.
Much appreciated!
@@CryptoGuide hi, could you please elaborate on the test commands
@@nantemagsino4198 I have no idea what you are trying to achieve. Just follow some of the example recovery videos on the channel
can you help me... I lost 1 of my seed phrase in ronin wallet... or perhaps you can create video to guide me gain it back?
If you lost one word just use the defaults in BTCRecover (covered in my most recent video), select Eth and just add an 0x at the start of the wallet address. (after removing the ronin: prefix)
I have 23 words from my shelby wallet from Cardano, but I don't remember 1 and I don't know the correct order, apart from that I don't know the address, will this application help me decipher the missing word? even not having the address?
If you have scrambled your 24 word seed and have lost the correct order then this is an unrecoverable loss.
hello admin
Can you solve bip38 with this setting?
BTCRecover supports BIP38 password recovery, check the documentation
Looks like you engage with the viewers so for this reason i have subscribed and liked. Cant stand it when youtubers cant at least try to reply to comments.
Thanks, I do my best to reply to every comment :)
Hi Imre! Was it successfull use BTCRecovery? János
.
Oh boy, I am in trouble!!! I am 45 years old. I have a wallet 12 words and a passphrase. I've had this wallet for over 4 years. I had all my info written down. I've been in data entry for over 25 years. I never thought I would make a typo but apparently, I did... Honestly, I don't know what happened. So I changed to a new wallet and my Seeds and passphrase aren't working.
Then I found you as the top result for finding mistakes. However, Python is currently at 3.11, and many of the codes are spitting out errors. I tried to install Python 3.9 but it doesn't install the same way...
Please any help?
The installation process hasn't changed, even for python.
Where exactly are you getting stuck? What specific errors are you getting?
@@CryptoGuide Honestly, I think I need to figure out how to install the 3.7 or 3.8 version.
Here are the issues I am running into.
This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.
error: legacy-install-failure
× Encountered error while trying to install package.
╰─> lxml
note: This is an issue with the package mentioned above, not pip.
hint: See above for output from the failure.
I get this with instructions around 5:50 area of the video.
Also, I get issues where it says (coinwallet) doesn't work when I try to run the test code.
Also I think my driver might be upto date because I run on a MSI gaming rig and it won't let me down grade the driver... Maybe be an issue too not sure.
@@CryptoGuide Maybe I missed a step?
Sorry I meant to say coincurve not Coinwallet above.
What operating system are you on?
Great tutorial as always! No questions from my side on this one - hopefully I'll never need to use this :D
Thanks, good to hear.
Hope you never need it ;)
i forgot my pass of blockchain but remember the pass but i'm confused at last digits i've tried every possible combination i can use but didn't work dont have 12 words can i still recover?
@@sunnyarslan9322 did you get help I'm stuck too

hello admin
I have a question.
The password is 8 digits.
I remember 4 out of 8 digits.
But I don't know the order. In this case, how do I set up the token list?
Just use expanding wildcards as per here btcrecover.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tokenlist_file/#expanding-wildcards
Wow.. excellent work..
Testing this out with python 3.9 and gpu acceleration.. fingers crossed 😂
Fingers crossed :)
How did you do it

Why no new comment?

Hi Steve. I'm getting an error when I try to enable GPU with my mutlidoge wallet. Is multidoge incompatible, or do you think I didn't install the right pyopencl?
Multibit (and multidoge) wallets don't support GPU acceleration. They use a really weak hash so wouldn't really benefit from it anyways.
@@CryptoGuide does this mean that when running btcrecover for multidoge that the gpu and its speed has no affect on the rate of passwords tried?
That's right
hi, when I type the command "cd btcrecover-master" it gives me the message: "cannot find the specified path". Can you help me understand please? python (latest version) finds it without problems. thank you so much for your help and your time.
Sounds like you are trying to run that command from the wrong folder, or downloaded and unzipped BTCRecover in to a different folder.
i got lost on the third step. do i just open up command prompt and paste in the pip39 command? or do i have to paste underneath when writting the cd downloads...and then cd btcrecover-master? please help me.
You run all the pip commands from within the folder you unzipped the files from the BTCRecover repository
@@CryptoGuide thank you. i just finish the whole process and its done.
Good job getting it sorted
Nivdia geforce gtc 960m is that enough to recover btc?
Depends on the recovery, but probably better to just use your CPU.
@@CryptoGuide I have a trezor, i need the password, have seed recovery.
Are you saying you have all the seed but need the BIP39 passphrase?
@@CryptoGuide Yes. The BIP39 passphrase, that I added.
If you have a reasonable idea of the passphrase then using cpu will be fine

hello admin
I installed pyopencl, but if I enter --enable-gpu in the command
Error: no supported GPUs found
This error pops up.
Sounds like you either didn't install pyopencl correctly for your system or that you don't have your driver's installed for the GPU.
hello admin
After pip upgrade is complete
I even installed pyopencl.
If you enter --enable-gpu in the command
Error: no supported GPUs found

Just follow my video on recovery for blockchain.com wallets

Best of luck :)
I have my wallet dat.files but forget my pass phrase
So whats stopping you from using BTCRecover to attempt to recover it?
Hello @montanagoat13 did you get what you wanted?
It would depend on the recovery types. Basic seed typos are basically always recoverable, if it's a passphrase or wallet password then these succeed about half of the time. (As it depends on how good the guess is in the first place)
Hi Steve, does btc recover handle miniprivate keys as well? Is there a way to enable it?
Not currently, but this could be added if you want to sponsor it either directly or through a trusted recovery.

You want the cl12 version that matches the version of python you installed.

I installed python 3.10.
pyopencl installed pyopencl-2021.2.9+cl12-cp310-cp310-win_amd64.
Is there a problem with the installation? Or is it a graphic card driver problem?
Depends whether this is the correct version for your environment and the drivers are correctly installed.

It depends on which wallet type you are using and whether you have included the --enable-opencl or --enable-gpu arguments.
@@CryptoGuide its electrum v1. Where to enable gpu, couldnt see it
Electrum v1 seeds don't support GPU acceleration
i don't fine this version pyopencl‑2021.1.4+cl12‑cp39‑cp39‑win_amd64.whl where can i find it??
Just follow the documentation and download the latest version that matches your system
@@CryptoGuide do I have to do the same thing for Python? Because i downlod the Python versión, thatvi found in the documentatio
Python can be any version from 3.7 to 3.10

Is there any video of opening wallet dat after completing the install?

Hi Steve , I'm having issues unzipping the BTC recover , downloading the python 3.8.16 , I can only download 3.11 but it's not installing . I'm using a Toshiba Intel atom windows 8.1 2gb ram system
Just use the latest Python
Should I look at going and purchasing an airgapped computer in preparation for downloading btc recover; or is it safe to do while being online connected to the internet ??
Your best bet is to just get familiar with it on Windows, run a recovery or two with a test seed that you generate somewhere like here: iancoleman.io/bip39/
For running the actual recovery, you can just take your computer offline and leave it that way until you have done the recovery and moved the funds to a new seed. (If you just want to do it all on the same PC, in your normal desktop OS)
When testing my python install I have 2 errors and I think that they are the same: WARNING: Ignoring invalid distribution -ip (c:\users\owner\appdata\local\programs\python\python310-32\lib\site-packages). What does this mean?
The warning might not matter, which tests are failing?
I have 7 GPUs installed which Windows detects correctly, but when using the arguments --enable-opencl and --no-eta, there is no difference in kP/s. It always seems to be using only one GPU. I've looked at the documentation and watched videos, but I can't understand how to use the argument --opencl-workgroup-size since I've been using multiples of 1024 (Like 2048, 4096, etc...) and haven't seen any differences. I can't figure out what I might be doing wrong. Could you help me with that? Thank you very much for this great tool and your time, Steve.
all of the GPU are Nvidia runing the last driver on Windows 11
What kind of recovery is it? You are probably just hitting a bottleneck with your CPU
when i make the tests i only connect 2 GPUs at a time
So what type of recovery? (You are probably just hitting a bottleneck)
@@CryptoGuide You're right! I hadn't realized it. I see my CPU at 100% all the time. I'll have to buy a new one. Do you recommend looking for one with at least 14 threads to be able to use the 7 GPUs? I'm trying to recover a passphrase that has 17 letters, apparently with several typos (if it's not actually a completely different word) from an Ethereum address generated with Trezor
am facing this issue, please tell me about this.
dear i Error: argument --wallet (or --data-extract, --bip39, --brainwallet, --warpwallet, --rawprivatekey, --yoroi-master-password, --bip38_enc_privkey, or --listpass, exactly one) is required

Do you mean reformat? If so then you need to stop using the PC immediately and use a data recovery approach.

You need to stop using the PC immediately (every minute matters) and go the data recovery route.

What I can do?? Do I have to recover it with btcrecover? Is the channel's video on how to download btcrecover updated?
I hope you can help me, thank you very much
You will basically need to use BTCRecover. Just follow the process in this video to install it and the process in the passphrase recovery video to use it for a passphrase. (Just select that you have an eth wallet and use the address with the USDT)

Hey austine ephyzy, good to hear, feel free to shoot me a tip at www.reddit.com/user/Crypto-Guide/comments/czy13u/a_post_or_video_of_mine_was_helpful_feel_free_to/ :)
Hi Steve, really helpful video. I'm currently trying to recover my Metamask seedphrase. I followed all the steps and got to where you select the wallet python package requirements. For recovering my metamask seedphrase - which wallet type do I select from these options? Metamask has an Ethereum format wallet address. Thanks a million
Just select Ethereum
so does this not work for python 2.7 anymore. I've had some trouble and get an error code trying to run the pip 3 install.
My updated fork of BTCRecover now requires Python 3.6+
Hi! Try to execute seedrecover.py on a Mac 11.1 Big Sur, but it says:
macOS 11 or later required !
Abort trap: 6
Do you have any idea what is wrong? Using the new repository: 3rdIteration/btcrecover
I just had a look and this error isn't coming from BTCRecover but rather python itself, so it looks like you will need to get your Python 3 environment working before you can do anything else.
I don't have a Mac so can't reproduce or troubleshoot this beyond the MacOS checks that run on Github and all pass...
this video is great motivation to keep them keys super safe and backed up correctly. i never wanna do this.
For sure... The importance of backups cannot be overstated, I have far too many people contact me who find this out the hard way, often when it's too late...
Is there a link for the pyopencl? that is needed to run with BTCRecover? as I cant find that one that you refer to in the video. Thanks in advance
You can just install pyopencl using pip now
i am trying to run in on python3.12.1 and getting this error-
( import lib.cardano.cardano_utils as cardano
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'lib.cardano)
You are getting this error due to either running btcrecover from something other than the main btcrecover folder, or you messed up your download somehow.
Please Sir, whenever I type cd btcrecover-master, the system always indicate to me that the system cannot find the path
You are probably in the wrong folder to run that command...
i just recover seed phrase if i missed until 2 words? if i know correctly just 8 from 12 ?? it is possible ?
Having 4 missing words is only practical if it's a high value wallet, as the recovery will need a few 10's of thousands of hardware and run for a few months.
Hello sir
I did all these 5 steps
What will be my next video to start putting the 12 words which I don’t know the order for
Thank you
Just follow the video on descrambling a seed phrase, it's covered there.
Hi Steve, thanks for your content. When on the first command prompt steps it recognises Python but not ‘cd btcrecover-master’ it says it cannot find the path. Do you know why this could be?
The cd command is just to change directories, so you have likely just downloaded and extracted it somewhere else.
@@CryptoGuide ok, is this an important step? Do I need to keep it in a certain location so it picks it up?
You just need to adjust the initial cd commands so that you are navigating to the correct folder.
If you are getting stuck here it might be worth following a simple Windows command prompt tutorial

I use a G999 web wallet 64 bit how do I address the seed phrase checks error?
Never heard of it, but it probably isn't doing anything too exotic from the look of it. (Looks like the team behind it have no idea what they are doing, so it's very likely a straightforward clone of something else) You could try with some test wallets and see if it works.
Can use python 3.12.5 to run Btcrecover?
Yep
How to find the 12 word phrase of a lost trustwallet account which is now a watchonly wallet, could you help me on this please
Unless you can find the majority of the seed words (So 9/12, in order) then it's unrecoverable.
So if youve a wallet that isnt allowing withdrawal is this able to take those coins and move them elsewhere?
What does this even mean? (Which wallet are you referring to) If it's a proper non-custodial wallet then yes.
@Crypto Guide to be honest I'm not sure what type of wallet it is
Did you set this up of does it belong to someone else?
I have no idea about python so I find it hard to understand what commands to enter so I get what you are getting.
That's why the video walks through it all, just follow it and try it yourself.
Installing Python3 on a laptop with no internet. Pip3 command doesn't work. Do I need to be connected to the internet? I thought it was only using files from the btcrecover-master folder.
Well yea obviously you need to be online to install packages via PIP
@@CryptoGuide Oh ok. I thought we should use devices that "have never connected to the internet" when doing recoveries.
No, you want devices that will are offline before you enter the seed and will remain offline until either the recovery device is wiped or the funds are moved to a new wallet. (This is why using something like Ubuntu Live boot is the best option for most people)
If you want the system offline the whole time then you can easily side-load Python modules, but that is beyond the scope of what is easy to support in a video.
@@CryptoGuide I got it installed on Windows, thank you! Unsure whether these are bugs or more likely user error but here you go:
1. Before installing PyOpenCL, the Full Test results are: Ran 617 tests using 12 processes. OK (passes=536, skips=81).
After installing PyOpenCL, the test gets stuck at electrum28 and gives a long error line about an array needing to be 1 or something. If I uninstall PyOpenCL, the testing works and gives the results above. I can send you the exact error if you need/want it.
I don't think I have a GPU but wanted to install PyOpenCL anyway to test it. Could that be the reason for the error?
2. Is the number of skips normal in my test results? Ultimately, I want to find the 25th word from a Ledger wallet, segwit addresses.
Thanks again!
The skips is just based on which modules you have installed, hardware, etc, so there is no normal...
A BIP39 passphrase recovery is pretty basic as far as required functionality goes. Just generate a test wallet first and try it with that if you are unsure.
Thanks for your reply.
If I reinstall btcrecover and the gpu setting is still not working, I will ask you again. thank you
Just follow the documentation, it's all there

How should I proceed if I know that only seats 8 to 14 are available?
What is a seat?
please help me my 12 seed phrase I lost😭 this is legit?
If you lost the entire seed then neither BTCRecover or any other tool can help with that. (Anyone who tells you otherwise is a scammer)
please can install and run btcrecovery using my laptop,
Where exactly in this process are you stuck?
And there is the difference between your video and version of btcrecover what i have downloaded
Make sure you download it from my repository
Do I need to reboot for the python to be properly installed.. ?
No
WILL YOU NEVER MAKE AN UPDATE VIDEO AGAIN???
There are plenty of BTCRecover videos that come out periodically to cover new features. Nothing here has really changed, so where are you getting stuck?
Cheers mate. Thanks so much for this I was able to recover my missing word 😊
Good job, be sure to tip 1% of what you recovered to any of the addresses here to support continued maintenance and development of the tool btcrecover.readthedocs.io/en/latest/donate/
How can I recover my missing word also
Of course, that is a straightforward recovery. Just follow my videos on seed recovery with BTCRecover.
The requirments not installing
Sounds like you got this sorted?
I’m lost my wallet data how to find wallet data…?
So what do you actually have?
Help!! I have no experience in coding and am not sure how to proceed. I am stuck at installing the pip.
when I run the code:
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
it gives me the following:
ERROR' Could not open requirements file: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'requirments.txt
WARNING: You are using pip version 20.1.1; however, version 21.3.1 is available.
You should consider upgrading via the 'c:\users\ben\appdata\local\programs\pythong\python38\python.exe -m pip install --upgrade pip' command.
You are running the command from the wrong folder, you need to run in from within the BTCRecover folder (as demonstrated in the video)
I've upgraded the pip but now when I run the test:
python3 run-all-tests.py -VV
it shows me:
'python3' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
If I put just python instead of python3, it doesn't do anything and prompts me to type another command.
Well yea that's not the problem... You are just running the command from the wrong folder...
@@CryptoGuide OMG thank you for replying. Ok got it. The test is running now.
I have reinstalled the Metamask Chrome extension due to crash, but now I can't import the other accounts because I didn't know I must note every account private key to prevent this incident. How can I use BTCRecover? I have access to my laptop back up. Thanks
You don't need to node individual private keys for other accounts, just select to add a new account and the other accounts will also appear
@@CryptoGuide thx
Best of luck
When trying to use the Ledger typos map I get an error typos map file xyz.txt has an empty replacement list on line 3.
I’ve tried to edit the file, check spacing etc., but still has an error. I did add the delimiter command too.
I downloaded Btcrecover a while ago and manually added the Ledger typos file if that makes a difference. Any suggestions?
Just pushed a fix, so just download the latest master and try again
@@CryptoGuide Same error on line 65. I fixed it by adding a 0, but not sure what the character should really be?
Your need to read the comments in that typo map and specify a delimiter
i did everything but i get syntax error in step 3, pls anyone know
If you are getting an error installing the packages from pip, use python 3.9 (some of the requirements aren't yet available for easy download for python 3.10)
@@CryptoGuide
keep saying the same thing :c
Have you followed the written document? You might just have a typo in what you are writing.
@@CryptoGuide
nop, in step three when I copy and paste I get an error :c
What is the exact timestamp of the step that isn't working for you?
Hallo Crypto Guide,
I lost btc on my old bitcoin core wallet on my pc, the pc is already gone but I still remember the wallet address and password. Will I get my btc back?
No. The private keys are in the encrypted wallet file, so without it the password and address are totally useless.
@@CryptoGuide Do you have any other suggestion for me? Cz the btc balances is quite alot inside.
The suggestion is to either find a backup of the wallet file or to move on with life, as it isn't recoverable without it.
Hi need your help I can't remember my passphrase seed for G999 core wallet.
Can I use this method if not can you please help
G999 Core wallet is supported in BTCRecover (As it's just a clone of Bitcoin core)
Basically you install BTCRecover as per the video here and do a bitcoin core wallet recovery similar to what I cover here: ua-cam.com/video/8Zqc-2Te3zQ/v-deo.html (Except you don't need to use the wallet extract, multiple workers, etc)
@@CryptoGuide thank you so much
.
Hi Crypto guide... i used the pip version 20.1.1 and ask me to download the latest version 22.0.4. Please help me which version in the list of releases. Thanks for the assistance
You don't need to update pip
i know my seedphrase, it is a set of 2 shamir 20 word seed phrases. I can not figure out what my passphrase is. I wrote it down but it does not work. DOes this tool support shamir seed phrase?
BTCRecover supports passphrase recovery for SLIP39 based wallets.
thank you
Best of luck with the recovery
As per documentation ' places itself in the lowest CPU priority class to minimize disruption to your PC while searching.' Is there any way to place btcrecover on a higher, or highest, priority using a Windows 10 PC?
Not at this time, if you aren't actually using your PC at the time it doesn't make a difference.
I have only wallet.dat is it posible to recover?
If you have some idea what the password might be, yea.
I have my wallet.dat file which have 30.99 BTC . I forgot password but I have personal key . Bitcoin core is big download which I don’t want . What should I do?
What does "personal key" mean? Bitcoin core only has a wallet password... You can dump the private keys and then import them in to Electrum but honestly, if you have 30 BTC to recover, you are better off (in terms of security and minimizing the chance that you mess up) just wait for Bitcoin Core to sync and send them directly from there.
@@CryptoGuide Bro what if I forgot the password as I bought it in 2010 . My computer crashed and I could just recover wallet.dat . Do I need brutforce ?
If you have the wallet.dat file and don't know the password, then yes, you will need to use BTCRecover to attempt to recover it. (And the better of an idea that you have about what it was the more likely that you can recover it, raw brute-force only works for very short passwords)
hi bro i somehow forgot my seed phrase and i format my comp few days ago . Is that still possible for me to get back?
If you have none of the seed words then this is an undercoverable loss. Your only hope is to stop using the computer immediately and try a data recovery for the wallet files.
I don't know which code to enter in the token list. The hint is 8 digits with numbers and symbols.
I replied to your other comment with the answer...
Hi mate how can I get in touch with you again ?

You helped me recover over 70,000 Doge when most people on the Internet said I was scr*wed because I forgot my password. I’m sending some Doge your way today! Thank you so much!!
Glad it helped, thanks heaps for the tip :)
Hi! Can I use this to recover my ronin wallet in my android phone?
How many of the seed words do you have?
If you are missing all of them, then you can't recover the seed. (It's just math)
@@CryptoGuide I only know one phrase. Still impossible. Thanks for the reply
So are you saying that you only have 1/12 words? If so then this is an unrecoverable loss.
