Hello sir
Sorry to bother I was just going through your repo to see if you could help me. The problem I have is with my wallet private key characters, I mistakenly damaged the piece of paper I wrote it on, so I was wondering if you could help me write a program that will brute Force the 10 missing characters very fast and in return I will make a donation of 2 BTC to you f I find the correct keys

Hi,
I will be very happy to help you find your key.
Do you have your public key? I think it will be very helpful.
Do you know the exact length of you private key?
We need to do some calculation to estimate how much will it take?

You have a WIF private key that uses Base58 encoding to encode the address.

Base58 is an encoding scheme with an alphabet of 58 characters, including upper and lowercase letters A-Z and the digits 1-9. Base58 excludes zero, uppercase ‘O’, uppercase ‘I’, and lowercase ‘l’, in order to avoid reader confusion.

So each character of your private key can be different 58 alphanumeric characters and you lost 10 characters:
58 to the 10th power = 4.3080421e+17
If you check 1000 private keys per second, it will takes about 13623387 years.
It's a big number and I think your chance is close to zero.

Let me know if you found any solution.

Google translate doesn't translate well. You have to write in English.

it takes 1 day to find 10 characters.
assuming you know the last 6 characters

I have the last 6characters and I saw your code but cannot get it to run.
Can you run the code on https://repl.it/~ to see if it works

https://github.com/Noname400/wif-recovery (Use if characters are missing not consecutively, but in different places)
https://github.com/PawelGorny/WifSolverCuda (Use if there is a checksum but no public key)
https://github.com/PawelGorny/Kangaroo (yes public key)

@Handsomekaizer
I checked @Noname400 suggested repository.
I can help you run it on your computer, I assume you are using windows:

1- Install python3 on your computer
2- Download the repository https://github.com/Noname400/wif-recovery/archive/refs/heads/main.zip
3- Unzip the file and run cmd where you unzipped it.
4- Run this command in cmd python WIFRecover_successively.py -wif KwDiBf89QgGbjEhKnhXJuH7LrciVrZi3qYv5Z9J7{1}{2}{3}{4}{5}{6}{7}11111
5- If you get errors like ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'bitcoin' , run this command pip install bitcoin and try again.
