Electrum 24 word seed recovery.

Open Riccardo-Moroni opened this issue 3 years ago • 1 comments

Hi, and thanks in advance for spending your time reading this.

How can I make seedecover.py work with a 24 word seed for an Electrum 2.x wallet ?
I know 22 words of the seed and I know their order, so it shouldn't take too much time right? The seed's words are from bip39, which has 2048 words, it should try them all in the 2 exact positions leaving the 22 others where they are (more or less 4M possibilities).

I dont' have the public key but I have the address of this wallet, it's a native segwit one.

I made another Electrum wallet, with a 12 word seed, and, replacing 2 words with "?" it managed to recover those 2 words I omitted. So I guess that at least the setup is done right.

For Electrum 2.x the command --mnemonic-length 24 seems not working and gives maximum mnemonic length for Electrum2 is 13 words while for Electrum1.x it gives WalletElectrum1 does not support the expected_len option.

Thanks, Riccardo

How did you originally create this wallet?
