# bitkraken *DEPRECATED*
## For educational purposes only.
Bitkraken but I accidentally deleted the old one. 😢
Credit to HysMagus for keeping my original code so I could see how I did it. 👍🏻
However, most of the code is changed, since most of the code had bad practices, as I was only 16 at the time.
By the way this basically finds bitcoin private keys
by converting words to SHA256 sums.
On Ubuntu 20.04 it only depends on Bitcoin Core, in the bitcoin/ directory, which you can find [here.](https://bitcoin.org/en/download)
***Also, you must have a non-encrypted wallet. Feel free to fork according to the LICENSE to make it so it unlocks the wallet...***
Exemptions of the LICENSE include The Arcadia Group, as well as anyone else who has forked this project before 12/2/2020.
# Note: This code is dumb.
If you want stuff that works better (by that I mean it actually functions somewhat) see my newest revisions:
* BitKrackenJS (the original BitKracken but as large as the blockchain [almost infinite, no word lists here!], less hacky, and works)
* BitKrackenJS-bip39 (BitKrackenJS but uses bip39, a tiny bit more hacky than BitKrackenJS, and a bit faster. [Limited to 18 words at a time from the top of my head] )
