Recovery


While learning from r/bitcoin, I began seeing posts from people that had “lost” their coins. Coins were “lost” by incorrectly recording recovery phrases (BIP39 seeds), by using buggy wallets, and sometimes just from not understanding how bitcoin works.

I realized I could help many of these people and started doing so in my spare time. I have a handful of linked references below, however I have helped many more people than this. I never ask for a fee when recovering bitcoin, but I do appreciate a tip if I’m able to help. If you need something, let me know!

In general it is a very bad idea to give anyone your private bitcoin information. There are a lot of scammers out there! Because of this, I completely understand not wanting to give me any of your information, and am happy to try to help you without you having to trust me. I only recommend “full trust recovery” if 1) it’s a small amount you are willing to risk losing, 2) you’re already counting it as a loss, or 3) don’t have the physical setup required to use the various recovery tools.

Option #1 Zero Trust Recovery

You stay in full control through the entire process. We can communicate through a messaging service while I try to walk you through the steps that I would take in order to recover your coins.

Option #2 Full Trust Recovery

This requires your trust. You give me your private information (seed, wallet files, possible passwords, etc.) and I will attempt to recover your coins on a clean offline Linux environment.

DarkWallet – Export Bug

Thanks a bunch @grnqrtr for giving me a bunch of information and resources in order to find my missing btc from darkwallet. Even after I couldn’t find them, he was nice enough to use my seed then find my BTC for me and send it to my own electrum wallet. Very trustworthy, knowledgable, and a super nice person.

DarkWallet – Recovery

Had looked at another thread of him helping someone and decided out of the blue to message him as I had bit coins stuck for almost a year now. Within a day he has managed to get my £350 worth of BTC out and literally saved my day.

Made my day man!
