summary of how @cprkrn was able to recover his long lost 5 BTC that had been inaccessible for over 11 years with AI he provided Claude AI with old college computer files and a partial mnemonic. the AI analyzed the data, located an old wallet backup, and identified a specific bug in the btcrecover decryption tool related to how the sharedKey and password were concatenated. using this insight, Claude helped reconstruct the forgotten password “lol420fuckthePOLICE” allowing him to extract the private keys. Important to note that this was not a seed phrase crack or a breach of Bitcoin’s security… it was a clever recovery of an old, poorly backed up wallet using AI assisted forensic analysis of personal files.
