saw zun crack 1 missing word from a seed phrase two days back.
then morsy leveled up and did 2 words yesterday.
so i thought... why not go for 3?
just recovered a wallet with 3 missing seed phrase words.
took 18 hours on a 16-core machine.
but the thing w this one is i built this completely differently.
most recovery tools rely on blockchain RPC calls to check balances.
[that's slow, rate-limited, and requires internet.]
so i approached it with 100% offline cryptographic verification.
considering the fact that we already had the wallet address and the 9 words intact.
[it was actually 10, but bro’s handwriting on the last one was so bad even he wasnt sure what it was anymore😅].
so instead of confirming if the wallet has money in it,
i generate the wallet address from the seed phrase and compare it directly to the target address.
pure math. no network calls. no rate limits.
this is why i could hit ~850 attempts/second on a decent machine.
traditional methods max out at like 50-100/sec due to RPC bottlenecks.
the problem seemed impossible at first.
9 known words. 3 missing.
but we knew the missing positions, and the wallet address - that’s why we were able to achieve this.
bro thought it was over. $12k in crypto, gone.
but the math, while brutal, isn't impossible:
- BIP-39 uses exactly 2,048 words
- 3 missing words = 2,048³ combinations
- that's ~8.6 billion attempts
- sounds crazy, but with the right approach it's very doable
the key insight: most combinations fail BIP-39 validation immediately. the last word has a checksum - only ~6% of random combinations are even valid seed phrases.
so really, you're checking ~500 million valid phrases, not 8.6 billion.
still massive, but now we're in "brute-forceable" territory.
what i built:
- python-based recovery engine
- multi-threaded architecture (used 16 threads)
- 100% offline (your seed phrase never touches the internet)
- checkpoint system (pause/resume anytime)
- memory-efficient (generates combinations on-the-fly)
- direct cryptographic derivation (no blockchain calls)
this last part is critical. by skipping RPC entirely and doing pure local address derivation, the speed difference is insane.
ran it on a dedicated machine:
- ~850 attempts/second (vs ~50-100 for RPC-based tools)
- checked valid phrases against target address locally
- took about 18 hours total
- found it at ~55M attempts
the missing words were in positions 2, 7, and 11.
the words themselves? "ocean", "deputy", "stuff"
not even uncommon words... they were just forgotten.
$12k recovered. friend cried. i felt like a wizard.
I built a script that can help you recover 2 lost words from a seed phrase of any evm wallet :
yesterday, zun cracked one lost word from a seed phrase and helped someone find his old wallet
so i thought why not publish a guide and level up to 2 words of a seed phrase
link : github.com/morsyxbt/BIP39-RE…
how to use it :
visit the link all details are given, follow the steps closely and you will be able to recover your old lost seed phrase
how it works :
to crack 1 word :
BIP39 seed phrases use a fixed wordlist of exactly 2048 wordlist, so if you forget 1 word and know other positions, the script will use all 2048 words and check the active wallets and shows up ignoring other 2047 possibilities
but if you don't know rest 11 words positions, the missing word can be in any of the 12 position, each has 2048 possibilities : 12 x 2048 = 24,576 attempts
it usually takes few minutes to crack up
to crack 2 words :
here i faced a problem, if you don't know the positions of words and lost 2 words : the combination gets worse, 66 position pairs : 2048^2 x 66 = 277 million attempts
this could takes days so to fix this i used a Target_address and known 10 positions of a phrase (where 2 words are lost) so there are only 2 lost positions
both have 2048 possibilities : 2048 x 2048 = ~4.1 million possibilities which takes around 1-2 hr to crack
can we crack more than 2 words of a phrase? yes, it is possible but time consuming upto days and if you don't know other positions possibilities will go even hard and also it needs more compute power
but with the introduction of quantum computer, things will change and that's in future we might see new privacy measure of seed phrases
gud tek, hope you learnt something new today.

This year, Offline Protocol has become a good company, but I haven't changed the world yet. This deeply bothers me and keeps me up at night.
Two years ago I saw that connectivity had become the world's most fragile commodity. As an immigrant watching wars, natural disasters, slow relief efforts and persistent infrastructure gaps across developing economies, I kept returning to one question: why does people's ability to communicate, organize and help one another depend entirely on infrastructure they can neither own nor control? When that infrastructure fails or is withdrawn, people lose the ability to coordinate exactly when they need it most.
Since then, we've given identity, communication and information to almost 500,000+ people across 140+ countries, with zero paid acquisition. This year, enterprises started building on the same components, and Offline Protocol has become the coordination layer that keeps machines, people and AI agents working together over whatever network remains. We have already started work with partners in wind energy, agricultural IoT, fleet telematics, aerospace and payments. This week we received official approvals for our listings on Claude, Gemini, Github Registry, AWS Marketplace, with many more coming soon.
I started this company because I want to make a difference and establish a legacy that mirrors the greats of our generation. I did not start Offline Protocol to become a SaaS company and spend the last of my 20s pushing enterprise sales.
This is the announcement of the announcement. We will change the world. Soon.

Keeping everyone (including Africans) completely ignorant about Africa and the central role it plays in the economic and natural world is a core feature of Europeanised education, not a bug.
You're not supposed to know that the DRC is the most resource-rich country in the world, with an estimated $24 trillion sitting under its soil. You're not supposed to know that the rise of "western civilisation" from the 15th century on was entirely made possible by European contact with Africa, and that the resources and labour extracted from coastal West Africa from 1492 onwards are the entire reason why both American continents exist in their current form.
You're not supposed to know that both WW1 and WW2 were essentially wars fought over the right to African colonial domination and expansion, and that even the uranium that was used in "Little Boy" and "Fat Man" dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki came from Shinkolobwe uranium mine in eastern DRC. You're not supposed to know that the reason the country of France exists in its current form is because tens of thousands of conscripted West African soldiers fought and won against the Nazis in Europe, and the French thereafter shipped them back to West Africa and massacred them at Camp Thiaroye in Senegal to avoid paying them their due wages.
You're not supposed to know that there was nothing cold about the so-called Cold War, because the vast majority of the hot theaters it was physically fought in were on the continent of Africa. (Zimbabwe, DRC, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa, Angola, Eritrea, Zambia etc). You're not supposed to know that the ongoing Ukraine war and the war in the Sahel are in fact the same conflict being fought by the same 2 sides, and that the reason France is desperately pushing funding and arms to Ukraine even as it falls into internal crisis is that Ukraine is acting as its proxy army in West Africa, as it tries to regain its lost colonial territories there, especially Niger where the cheap yellowcake uranium for its famously cheap nuclear energy used to come from before the 2023 revolution.
You're definitely not supposed to know that the entire global economy and system of trade as you know it is built on ruthless extraction from Africa and ensuring that Africa does not control anything it exports. You're not supposed to know that "Italian leather" doesn't come from Italy - it comes from Kano, Nigeria. You're not supposed to know that "Swiss chocolate" does not exist because cocoa does not grow anywhere in Switzerland or Europe - it comes from Ghana, Cote d'Ivoire and Nigeria. You're not supposed to know that Israel and the UAE control the global diamond and gold markets even though Israel has no diamond mine and the UAE has zero gold mines, because both resources are literally being stolen from the DRC and Sudan on an industrial basis.
You're basically not supposed to understand that the entire geopolitical world as you know it, rests entirely on extraction from Africa, poverty of Africans, and your own ignorance about where everything you use comes from.
Completely deliberate 500+ year-old feature, not accidental bug.
two things.
firstly, the way ads should work is - subconciously putting their products in your mind, so you remember it when you need something related.
secondly,
it’s the ads firms that stay in profit.
cos they get paid even more by you and i to NOT show us ads.
hilarious.

If a man I respect is married, I keep my distance from his wife. I have no reason to be her friend, I'm his friend and thus by extension honour him by giving almost no attention to his wife. I do not want to form any type of emotional attachment to her, not even a platonic one.

icymi, @jumperapp just shipped a big upgrade: jumper advanced
what makes it standout is the simulation layer that shows your exact size, live conditions, expected output, your own price impact, gas, and slippage buffer before you ever sign.
on top of that, it adds smart slippage tuned per token, jumper flow that splits larger orders across multiple routes, limit orders, and deeper meta-dex + bridge aggregation underneath.
the net effect:
→ you finally see what you’re actually going to get, not just what the quote says
→ size stops moving the market against you
→ protection that fits the asset instead of a blunt blanket setting
→ execution quality that scales with the trade, not just more chains or liquidity sources
jumper advanced plugs neatly into the layer that every swap/bridge aggregator has been missing: the difference between “here’s a quote” and “here’s what happens when you hit confirm.”
none of this is about aggregating more dexs or supporting more chains… jumper already did that. this is the layer above routing.
tried it out personally a few hours ago.
bridged sol usdt to bsc usdc.
it selected near intents as the best route for my trade… and it showed me in real time what i’d be getting.
the trade was also executed swiftly.
w update from the jumper team imo
Jumper Advanced is now live.
Trade serious size with simulated swaps, smart slippage, large order splitting, and limit orders.
Switch to Advanced: jumper.xyz/advanced
