BIP39 Bruteforce for accessing bitcoin wallets - chaha0s - Jun 26, 2020

New here.
My first try.
Read about bip 39 and wanted to know if I could use it somehow.
Wrote a python script to generate unique random 12 digit recovery key , enter and recover the wallet (and associate it to an email).
Tried 50 combinations.Found all wallets with $0 balance.

I know there are many many combinations but just wanted to know if am I doing something wrong here?

Bruteforcing Bitcoin accounts generally is a silly idea. Anyone who's got half a brain will have their wallets properly protected, especially given the value of BTC now. There's probably a 1 in a million chance you will get one with any BTC in there, and even then, you might only get $5 worth.

Get a job. lol
