Recovering Incomplete Monero Wallet

Challenge by this post.

This was used to recover the funds from the steemit post linked above. The post reads:

During Christmas in 2014, I made Monero wallets as stocking stuffers. Each wallet had a 100 monero in it ($25 at the time, now about $180). I'm not the most detailed orientated person, so needless to say, I forgot a word on one of the wallets. I never gave it away--figuring it would make a nice prize for someone with free time and a dictionary hack.

##How to use

  1. Enter your incomplete mnemonic into the conf.ini file and change any other settings to fit your nedes.
  2. Run discover_mnemonics.py
  3. Take the resulting discovered_seeds json object in the output folder and insert it into myMoneroKeyGeneratorScript.js
  4. Open mymonero.com, open the developer tools (in Chrome)
  5. Copy the script with the seeds from myMoneroKeyGeneratorScript.js, paste it into the console, and run. Note: This might take a little bit.
  6. Export the result into output/myMoneroAddressKeySets.json. In chrome, this can be done by right clicking the result, choosing "Save As", and then moving the file into the correct folder. Make sure it's the right name.
  7. Run check_wallets.py
  8. Any wallets with a non-zero transaction history with be printed to the console.
