• Press key 3 in the menu or run start_search_btc.bat to search Bitcoin wallets.
• Press key 6 to search Bitcoin wallets using the database.

For EVM wallets (Ethereum, BNB, MATIC, etc.):

• Press key 5 or run start_search_evm.bat to search EVM wallets.
• Press key 6 to search EVM wallets using the database.

The Program Found a Wallet — What’s Next?

When the program finds a wallet:

• The search stops.
• The details are shown.
• The data is saved in the found_wallets.txt file.

How to Access the Funds?

1. Import the mnemonic seed phrase from the found wallet into a crypto wallet.
2. You’ll be able to transfer the funds.

Recovery Your Bitcoin Wallet

WalletGen recovers your Bitcoin wallet.

Process Description

Search for missing words:

Replace missing words with *.

Entering a complete seed-phrase:

Enter the full seed.

Important recommendations

• Seed-phrase must contain exactly 12 words.
• Use only the * symbol.
• Searching may take time.
• Recovery stops the program.

My Finds

I’ve recovered two BTC wallets with a balance. The first had 0.000032 BTC, the second contained 0.0528 BTC (roughly $4800 at the time of discovery). Here’s the link to the wallet: bc1qk3m62hx2hh5mhvc0tj45f9xflzcnu0sur3rvay.

New Find 4/9/2025

After a week of non-stop wallet searching, I finally found a wallet with 0.25 bitcoin ($19k). This is my 4th and biggest find of all time.
