I have heard of people adding extra words to their seed phrase backup as a way to try and protect it in the case that someone else finds it... The issue with this is that it actually doesn't increase security at all and that people also often forget the system that they used to add extra words... This video look at how to use BTCRecover to recover from the situation where you have additional seed phrase words and also the practical limits to doing this.
---------------------
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.com/join/5691c9d...
For Trading, just start with Binance: www.binance.com/?ref=18111926
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.com/?r=5243ecbb84...
(If you are just starting out, I would just recommend a Ledger Nano S)

Keep all your crypto safe & upgrade to a Ledger Nano X Hardware Wallet shop.ledger.com/pages/ledger-nano-x?r=5243ecbb8427
Alternatively, if you prefer a 100% Open Source wallet, a Trezor One is also a great value wallet shop.trezor.io/product/trezor-one-white?offer_id=14&aff_id=2922&source=UA-cam
Hello Crypto Guide, thank you for the explanation! Is there any way to make btcrecover search for different words in known positions? I have the problem that I have a 24 words seed, but for some word positions several words are eligible. For example word 1 3 words, word 2 2 words, word 3 4 words and so on. Can this problem be solved with btcrecover? Thanks a lot!
@@kryptogunny4625 You can use a tokenlist for this. You also need to post a new comment if you want an answer, as I don't get any notifications at all for any posts where the original comment is over a month old.
Thanks for the video...looks like a great solution!
Any suggestions if you have 23 of 24 BIP39 seed words (possibly out of order) and looking for the 24th word?
If the funds are out of order then you are likely stuffed. If you just have 23/24 then just follow my most recent video, as all the defaults will work fine.
hello, i tried the code you provided and changed the big typos to my situation ,the address pop up shows up i put the address,the best guess for you seed doesnt show up and a long line of errors shows up ,what would be the problem in your opinion
So what type of recovery are you actually trying to do? What kind of errors are you talking about? (Be specific)
@@CryptoGuide all good i found my mistake ,i didn't specify which type of wallet and caused the whole thing to not work ,thank you for the video it helped me alot 😊
Good job, best of luck with the recovery
Can you link the video for if you are missing a word (11/12 words)
My most recent video on basic BTCRecover recoveries is the one you want.
I'm a newbie to GitHub sand I'm having trouble navigating through all the info. I have a trezor model one wallet. Please tell me what I should insert as my address format? My address usually starts with the characters bc1q
Just select that you have a standard BIP39 wallet, it will automatically handle native segwit address types.
Hello, I have a problem about saving the seed phrase, I have some 16 words that do not fit the place. And my seed phrasa is 12 seed long Can a code like this in btcrecovery work and find the correct seed phrase for me? it is an ETH Address
seedrecover.py --no-dupchecks --addr-limit 10 --bip32-path "m / 44 '/ 60' / 0 '/ 0" --wallet-type ethereum --big-typos 16 --mnemonic-length 12
Yep, if the words are in other this tool can help. Do you know that it has 4 extra words rather than missing 8?
@@CryptoGuide is there anyway to contact you directly? thanks
.
I am missing 1 word from my 12 word phrase. Will this work?
Yep, one word will work with all the defaults and recover it in a few seconds, no problem at all...
I have 30 words. But I know that for different positions can only be 1 of up to three options. How can I test for this.
Example
1. BOARD or WISE or DRINK
2. HEAVY
3. LEMON or GHOST
4. POINT
Etc…. (Ex only)
How is it possible to Limi the algo to only placing those tries in the position they could be and not in the whole 24 mnemonic places. Reduce the tries and compute time.
Use a tokenlist
@@CryptoGuide Can you send me a video with this topic?
.
How should the command look if you have 27 words in which 12 of them make the seed to a electrum legacy wallet. I have everything installed, just need the full "
Do you know if the words are in the right order? If so, just add all of them and use the argument to specify the mnemonic length as 12.
@@CryptoGuide Unfortunately I have no clue what order they are in, will it still work?
Not really, a 12 word scrambled seed with 15 extras is going to take an impractically long amount of time. (About 10 thousand years with an average CPU)
Even if you could get a 1000x speed boost that won't really help. Basically you could hold on to it and hope that computational power increases by 100,000x over the next 50 years.
@@CryptoGuide Now I truly understand what you meant when you said exponential complexity lol, I will try to narrow my words down. I Appreciate you man, cheers.
@@CryptoGuide I run into this after running the command " seed cover.py:: errorr: argument --bip32-path:expected at least one argument" Any recommendations?
I lost 1 word of my Daedalus wallet. I have 23 words only. How can I use this tool?
Is it a Byron or Shelly era wallet?
@@CryptoGuide It is a Shelly one. The address start with addr1
Thanks.
Should "just work" if you select the Cardano wallet type.
