btcrecover VS mempool

This would be quickly crackable using something like btcrecover. (https://github.com/gurnec/btcrecover)

For some ideas see this script: https://github.com/gurnec/btcrecover/

Try to use this software on GitHub https://github.com/gurnec/btcrecover - 922 stars, it's good - there is also a tutorial on how to recover a lost password from a wallet.dat file. 6 characters should be fast to find with a good GPU.

Perhaps not possible or at least a few years on a modern pc. Checkout btcrecover https://github.com/gurnec/btcrecover do some test runs with a known seed missing 2 words, then 3 words before your 4.

The hacker can use the 24 words to recover the wallet. If there's nothing in it, he might give up, or he might guess that there's a passphrase. Then he hires a private investigator to discover your private details - schools, pets, uncles, birthdays, anniversary dates ... - and he configures https://github.com/gurnec/btcrecover with these details. If you're like most people, your idea of a secure passphrase can be guessed using 30 minutes to 10 days of brute force

This code can compute multiple combinations: https://github.com/gurnec/btcrecover - Last time I used it I found it hard to setup and I guess today it'll be even harder.

use a brute forcer approach like btcrecover. note that the learning curve is pretty up there though. every little characteristic you can remember about your passphrase can help speed up the process (number of characters, lower case or upper case, digits, positions of these characters, list of characters to use, etc.)

The submission is a page from r/Buttcoin, a Bitcoin-hater subreddit, with a random screenshot making the $188 for $4.09 complaint.

For those who don't know, Bitcoin on-chain transactions fees are not proportional to the amount sent, and it is common knowledge that $5 on-chain transactions are not practical. There are other solutions for sending smaller amounts.

Fees are currently spiking, but according to mempool.space (as I post this) an average on-chain transaction with ~$10.50 in fees will be confirmed within 30 minutes. See: https://mempool.space for details.

So this is not a very accurate, informative or helpful submission.

That's about 50$? I don't blame them https://mempool.space/

get some theory of mind. you are a person who is willing to pay onchain fees to use your trezor or open a channel. there are people in the world who are not willing to pay these fees and they probably outnumber you. and the plan has been spelled out in plain english a million times. the fees are supposed to go up by design. this means that most people will not self-custody, whether it is legal or not, and even if they would like to.

I’m not an expert so someone smarter than me can clarify, but the high/priority rate is the going rate (estimate) to get confirmed on the next block. Medium is the average rate for those transactions to be confirmed next. You can see current and historical rates at mempool.space.

The current fee to get into next block is about 40 sats/vB.

Check mempool.space for a better idea of how big a fee you need to offer to get into the next block.

The mempool is a bit crowed now. A few weeks ago it was only around 5 - 10 cents, and now it is between 3 and 13 dollars. (yesterday even 25 dollar) If you have a lot of UTXO's it can be very expensive to consolidate them all. In that case I would wait till the mempool is less crowed for lower transaction fees. it is important to understand that whirlpool or wasabi wallet will take many UTXO's (transaction fees) to mix your coins and maybe in the future exchanges don't want to touch your mixed coins. I mixed all my KYC coins as I'm not planning to exchange my bitcoin for fiat via a exchange in the future.
