every word you don't know means 2048x more options you gotta try... 2048^3 is a pretty big number, that's 33 bits, 8 billion
best guess i can make is you might get it in a week of trying, if you are lucky, but more likely a year

Indeed, most that was cracked is 4 words by John Cantrell
However he wrote his own tooling in Rust and made the process as efficient as it can be.
I remember this.
But did he take it down? I was looking to recover an old seed a while back.
Is there a way of refining the search when you know the first letter of those forgotten words?
Yes, it allows for almost anything you can think of.

If its not there go through the documentation.
Thanks!
Wonder why I didn't see this before...
Alex, any interest in hunting for some lost coins for a 50% bounty? It’s not a sizable amount but it’s an interesting problem: recursive bip85, several layers deep.
Normally I would, but now I’m working on my movie(Satoshis Don’t Exist)I have 0 free time.
Contact this guy, he is the one maintaining the tool.
I tried talking to John, he prob thought I was a scammer.
Can’t easily get a hold of the guy you linked through X, I’ll try other means eventually. Not really in a rush, as it makes for good nitty gritty work for my future kids lol
