Seed Phrase File

📋 Overview

Mode 7 reads a file containing complete, ready-to-test seed phrases — one per line — and tests each against the target address. It does not generate or brute-force any combinations; it simply iterates through the list.

This mode is useful when you have a list of potential seed phrases generated externally, or when you want to test a set of complete phrases exported from another tool.

⚠️ CPU only — no GPU support

This mode runs on CPU only (both Free and Pro versions). If -gpu is passed, wrecover falls back to CPU and logs an info message.

📄 Seed File Format

Plain text file, one complete seed phrase per line. The file must have a .txt extension for a new search. wrecover converts it to a .bin binary index at first run. On resume (-wi), supply the .bin file.

# seeds.txt

💡 BIP39 validation

Each phrase is validated against BIP39 checksum before address testing. Invalid phrases are skipped automatically. If you also have a passphrase, supply it with -pp.

🚀 Commands

New search

wrecover -m 7 -sf seeds.txt -addr "1A1zP1eP5QGefi2DMPTfTL5SLmv7DivfNa" -wlang en -ws -wf recovery.wrec -wp "this workfile password"

With a known passphrase

wrecover -m 7 -sf seeds.txt -addr "1A1zP1eP5QGefi2DMPTfTL5SLmv7DivfNa" -wlang en -pp "MyPassphrase" -ws -wf recovery.wrec -wp "this workfile password"

Resume (provide .bin seed file)

wrecover -wi -wf recovery.wrec -wp "this workfile password" -sf seeds.bin

📖 Parameter Reference

Option	Description	Required
`-m 7`	Select Mode 7	Yes
`-sf <file.txt\|.bin>`	Seed phrase file (.txt new search, .bin resume)	Yes
`-addr <address>`	Target blockchain address	Yes
`-wlang <code>`	BIP39 wordlist language	Yes
`-ws`	New search	Yes*
`-wi`	Resume from work file	Yes*
`-wf <file.wrec>`	Work file path	Yes
`-pp <passphrase>`	Known BIP39 passphrase, if used	No
`-dpath <path>`	Override derivation path	No
`-t <N>`	CPU threads (Free: max 10; Pro: unlimited)	No
`-wp <password>`	Encrypt work file	No
`-save-only`	Create work file only	No

* Use either -ws (new search) or -wi (resume) — not both.

⚠️ No GPU, no range control

-gpu, -startp, and -endp are not supported in Mode 7. If -gpu is passed, the software logs an informational message and continues on CPU.

🌎 Languages & Address Types

Address types (auto-detected)

Address format	Type	Default derivation path

⚡ Performance

Each entry is validated as a BIP39 phrase, then the address derivation is computed. Speed depends on phrase validity rate and CPU count.

Hardware	Throughput
CPU — per thread (Free & Pro)	700–1,200 phrases/sec
GPU	Not supported in this mode
