Any ideas you recommend? I have limited tech knowledge and have no idea on the approach to take

There are two last resorts to try to get your sats back.

>>>First:

Using your seed+password and then cracking the variation you introduced without knowing.

The only service here I would remotely trust is this one

https://www.walletrecoveryservices.com/

I did not use them myself as I have trust issues and I cobbled something together myself to crack my wallet passphrase.

>>>Second:

Using your hardware wallet.

Security soft/hardware does not age well. Your hardware wallet might be secure now, but flaws will be found in the future. You'll maybe have to wait 1 years. Or 100.

DO NOT send your seed phrase off to me or anyone else in your DMs. Even using walletrecoveryservices might be an elaborate scam running for 11 years, just waiting for that one juicy wallet.

First you could try to get your mind back into the same state: get aggravated and eat ze meds. Then think through the same process you used and maybe your brain will come up with the same genius method of fucking up and you'll notice.

Buy a second coldcard and try tp repeat the process.

DO NOT reset your existing coldcard, as it might still hold the secret to your coin.

1. Which wallet did you use with your coldcard?

2. Which wallet did you use to try to restore?

3. Did you try to be smart: mixing the words, using passphrase and writing down only half of it (because thieves) or something like that?

4. Does the coldcard still hold the keys it generated?

5. Is the watch-only-wallet still on the sd card?

6. Did you use an additional passphrase on the cold card?

7. Are you able to unlock the coldcard with the pin?
