After a series of appallingly stupid events, all my own fault, trying to place certain files on an external hard drive, then deleting them and downloading a "fresh" installation, I no longer have my seed or my key file, even after trying data recovery software. I have an account with coins inside it, is there any other way to restore the wallet / get access to my coins? I would greatly appreciate any help, I'll give a phone number if anyone wants to talk me through it and I'll pay someone for their time. I desperately need to get back into this account, I have all details and even proof of transactions going into it and out of it.

Many thanks,

Dave.

If you don't have your seed words and cannot recover your wallet's key file from the disk you deleted them from, the only other option is a brute-force attempt, which isn't even worth trying as it will take too long.

Think about it, if there was a way to do what you're asking, everybody's funds would be at risk of theft.

  • I thought as much, I'm currently trying a deep scan with Disk Drill overnight to see if that miraculously produces the .key file. Could you personally recommend any other form of "brute-force" attempts at data recovery?
