🔥User recovers 5 BTC with the help of AI 🤔
A user managed to recover 5
#BTC , valued at nearly $400,000, after almost a decade of losing access to their
#billetera . The key was having Anthropic's AI as a search assistant to sift through old files on their computer and cross-reference it with the owner's data.
The owner, identified as CPRKRN, explained that they had bought their
#bitcoins when it was worth $250 back in 2014. They lost access to the wallet after changing the password without keeping track of the new key.
Over the span of a decade, this user tried various passwords, with no success. As a last resort, they decided to upload files from their university computer to Claude. The
#IA helped them review documents, identify patterns, and detect that among those backups was a file named "wallet.dat," a file from before the password change.
This discovery was crucial, as this file was encrypted with a password. Fortunately, the user had found an old mnemonic phrase weeks earlier that helped decrypt this password. With the password and the old file, they were able to regain access and extract the private keys. They finally transferred the recovered Bitcoins to a new wallet.
It’s important to note that Claude did not decrypt or breach the security of the network
#bitcoin . It also did not compromise the underlying cryptography of the asset or open wallets on its own. It was simply a tool to locate old files.
Do you think other users will follow this case and be able to recover their lost Bitcoins stored on an old computer?
