Anyone know if there's a way to brute-force a BIP39 seed? Like, for example: 1. I need to figure out the one missing word since I have the other 11. 2. I've got 8 words in the right order, but 4 are mixed up.

https://github.com/Coding-Enthusiast/FinderOuter is somewhat easier to use, but 1. Currently it doesn't support GPU while BTCRecover does. 2. It only works if you have either child private key, public key or Bitcoin address.

from the btcrecover library you need to run seedrecover.py Here is link to the docs for that specific file https://btcrecover.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Seedrecover_Quick_Start_Guide/ Here is the link to the file on github: https://github.com/gurnec/btcrecover/blob/master/seedrecover.py preferably should know the address of the funds, if not you can use a generated list of addresses used. Be prepared to install python and some other required libraries Good luck! /KX
