so far it looks like the ReclaiMe tool is the best so far, it's actually finding things on ZFS filesystem fragments, as well as already finding a shitload of extfs stuff
r-studio is a joke, doesn't seem to actually find anything really
the actual disk that had the live install with zfs is the most likely place the wallet exists
oh yes, damn, and i have old ones and it's the same seed, so i understand... let's see if i can do this
