Six years ago, the big Bitcoin was just found, and AI just happened to be involved.


An older brother, 11 years ago, locked his Bitcoin wallet due to drug use and frequent password changes.
There are 5 BTC inside.
Over the years, he never gave up, trying about 7 trillion password combinations, but still couldn't open it.
A few weeks ago, he found a set of old mnemonic phrases, but discovered they corresponded to the old password before the change. He thought it was hopeless.
In his last attempt, he handed all the data from his old university computer to Claude.
Claude found the wallet file from the old files, checked the decryption method of btcrecover, and realized the previous approach was wrong.
It inferred the correct method: concatenate sharedKey and password, then decrypt using the corresponding algorithm.
After a few commands, the private key was successfully recovered.
Address verification passed.
The 5 Bitcoins are back.
He was so excited he couldn't find words, and said he wanted to name his child after Dario Amodei, founder of Anthropic, to thank and commemorate him.
