Advice needed, partially lost Electrum seed phrase (I know 10 out of 12 words in correct order)

Open lukejaywalk opened this issue 4 years ago • 7 comments

Howdy, as for now, I've got a 10-word Electrum seed phrase. I learned it by heart but forgot the last two words, although I'm almost 100% sure that I know the letter that the 11th word starts with. All of them are on the BIP39 list.

I'm a noob, don't code at all. Would somebody do me a favor and give me a hint on what I should do or on how to run btcrecover to retrieve the full seed phrase? Step by step, it can be a tutorial either for Mac or PC.

There are only a few satoshis in the wallet that I recall. I don't even know its address, just a seed missing the last two words. So it's not worth your time and my money to offer me help. I treat it more like a personal challenge and a brain teaser. And so should you :)

Have a good one!
