In recent days, we have received numerous inquiries from customers regarding mobile wallets. Here are unified responses to several situations:
(1) Forgotten mnemonic phrase, lost phone, can it be recovered?
You must retrieve the phone, have a keystore backup, or have exported the private key. If you don't have any of these, you can only bid farewell to your coins, congratulations on contributing to cryptocurrency deflation.
(2) Forgotten mnemonic phrase, uninstalled wallet from the phone, can it be recovered?
If you have just uninstalled the mobile wallet, you should immediately disconnect from the internet and turn off the phone; there is still hope for recovery at this point. If it has been months or even years since uninstallation, the chances of recovery are diminishing.
(3) Forgotten mnemonic phrase, factory reset the phone, can it be recovered?
Similar to the above, although this situation is harder than (2), if you have just performed a factory reset and haven't used the phone for several days, there is still a slight chance of recovery.
In summary, you must have at least one of the following: mnemonic phrase, phone, keystore backup, or exported private key. If you have none of these, recovery is impossible. Some customers say they have an address and password; you have only the key but no lock, what wallet can you open?
In fact, the chances of recovery in the above three situations are very low, essentially hoping for a miracle.
So remember:
(1) You must record the mnemonic phrase and password in a notebook, lock it in a safe or store it in a secure location. Do not place it carelessly, as it can easily be burned, flooded, or thrown away as waste paper (there are customer cases for all three situations, with amounts starting from tens of millions, the highest being a small target);
(2) Do not easily reset your phone. When you get a new phone, copy all data to the new phone, and only consider resetting the old phone after using it for half a year or a year. Moreover, wallet files cannot be backed up to another phone.
(3) Never uninstall the mobile wallet APP; even if you can't log in or it doesn't run, do not uninstall it. At least the wallet files are still inside, and once uninstalled, all data is lost, making recovery very difficult.
Doctor is powerful and reliable! Well, don't just satisfy your curiosity, worry about being scammed only if you have some valuable coins in hand.

In 2014, the customer purchased Bitcoin from the exchange and transferred it to a multibit wallet, recording the password. In 2017, when he wanted to sell it, he found that the password was incorrect, but he believed that the password should be correct and that the wallet was the issue.
After receiving the wallet file, password clues, and commonly used passwords, we began analyzing the wallet file overnight. After several attempts, we found that the password recorded by the user was indeed incorrect, so we started to guess the password. The encryption strength of multibit is high, and the computing power is very low, so we prioritized this project and activated all computing power for calculation. During this period, dozens of password transformation patterns were tried, and about 2 hours later, we successfully recovered it.

The SAFE4 mainnet has officially launched, block explorer: https://safe4.anwang.com The SAFE4 testnet has been restarted, block explorer: https://safe4testnet.anwang.com
At the height of 6663611, the statistics for SAFE3 are as follows:
Total amount: 22,438,028 Total available amount: 10,410,887 Number of addresses: 42,385 Total locked amount: 11,270,611 Number of addresses: 22,961 Number of lock records: 2,265,852
The above amounts will be migrated to the SAFE4 mainnet.
Total ignored available amount: 1,139.3 Number of addresses: 420,424 (this portion will be compensated) Total ignored locked amount: 17,016 Number of addresses: 12,827 (this portion will be compensated)
Remarks:
1. Regardless of whether the coins are unlocked or not, after designating the VPS IP address in the SAFE4 wallet and installing the SAFE4 node program, it will still be a main node; 2. To ensure the stable operation of the SAFE4 network, unlocked main nodes will require an additional 3 months of locking after migration; unlocked main nodes will require an additional 6 months of locking; 3. Unlocked ordinary locks will automatically be classified as available; ordinary locks that have not been unlocked will not undergo any processing and will continue to lock the remaining height after migration.
Currently, the SAFE4 mainnet has deployed 6 official main nodes and 10 official super nodes, and is currently running;
In the coming days, the development team will conduct comprehensive testing and operational monitoring of the SAFE4 mainnet and testnet to ensure stable operation of the system;
Various software downloads will be opened around April 30, and everyone can download the software for SAFE coin migration, main node migration, creating new main nodes and super nodes, and voting for super nodes;
We have never doubted the character and skills of the doctor. Decryption is his hobby, not to mention he has long been financially independent. Otherwise, how could he have supported the development of the security network for 11 years by himself!
Dr. Shentu is a top expert in technology! A top-notch person! A top influencer in the friend circle! Anwang safe is worth following! #安网4即将上市 #safewallet
A new case collection for everyone to look at. There is a possibility of recovery for any encrypted wallet. The ability to recover depends on several factors: the strength of the wallet's encryption algorithm, the complexity of the password set, the accuracy of the password hints, and so on. Of course, the prerequisite is that your coins are still in the address, and your encrypted private key is in your hands, not stolen or held by other individuals or institutions.
Doctor Shentu, the incredible Cow! The incredible Anwan safe!

I recovered a Trezor wallet with 1350 BTC
I. Introduction You read that right, it's not a clickbait title, it's a real event. Successful recovery on September 4, 2024. I originally didn't want to talk about this matter so publicly. A few friends guessed it was me who did the recovery, but I didn't admit it. However, now I feel there's nothing wrong with it; it's something worth celebrating and commemorating, so I wrote this article to commemorate it.
The client is a foreigner who purchased a Trezor hardware wallet in 2016, established a private account, set a high-level password, and stored 1350 BTC in it. In 2019, the client forgot the password and started looking for someone to recover it. Someone had helped him input the password through the Trezor development kit interface using electronic keys, but the recovery speed was extremely slow. After running for half a year, he ultimately gave up.

Instructions for the handling of SAFE tokens after the upgrade from SAFE3 to SAFE4:
1. SAFE 1:1 Swap (No Deadline) SAFE3 tokens can be swapped to SAFE4 tokens at a 1:1 ratio. This swap has no deadline and can be performed indefinitely.
2. Swap Method (After April 30 Update) The swap method will be available after the new version is released on April 30. Follow the guide in the PC Wallet or SafeWallet to complete the swap.
3. No Swap Required for SAFE Tokens on BSC/ETH/Matic Chains SAFE tokens on BSC, ETH, and Matic chains do NOT need to be swapped and will remain functional. After SAFE4 launches, cross-chain interoperability between SAFE4 and these networks will be enabled.
4. Simplified Operation: Cross-Chain to BSC (Before April 24) If manual SAFE3-to-SAFE4 swapping is inconvenient, you can bridge your SAFE tokens to the BSC chain before April 24. Once SAFE4's cross-chain functionality is live, manually bridge them back to SAFE4.
Additional Information:
During operations, ensure that your PC Wallet and SafeWallet are downloaded ONLY from the official website: anwang.com.
Today, I restored the backup password for a Binance web3 wallet's QR code private key. The encryption strength of the QR code private key is high, but fortunately, the password set by the client was simple, and I successfully restored it in a few days.
Recently, GPU computing power is being deployed, aiming to increase the computing power to 5-6 times that of before. More GPU computing power will help recover password clues that could not be exhaustively searched before, such as masks longer than 10 days, which were previously not calculated due to the long duration, unless all other password patterns had been tried. Now, it only takes 1-2 days to compute, making it easier to achieve results. Of course, the costs involved are also considerable.
The encoding and internal testing of SAFE4 have been basically completed. Currently, a well-known security company has been engaged to conduct a security audit of the code and smart contracts. Once the audit is completed and all bugs are fixed, the SAFE4 launch schedule will be announced. Please stay tuned and thank you for your patience.
Decryption requires more than just money, it is definitely a difficult technical job. Just trust Dr. Shentu!

Today a friend asked me to crack the Bitcoin Core wallet password. When asked for the address, it was a public wallet. The key point is that this friend spent 3.6 million to buy 20 8-card high-end 4090 machines to crack this wallet. It took more than half a year, and the electricity bill was about 250,000, which took a lot of effort. The machine can be sold or used for other purposes, and there will be no loss. The electricity bill is lost, and the effort is wasted. So before cracking a wallet, first check whether it is a public wallet. Most public wallets are fake, and even if the password is cracked, it is not necessarily possible to transfer coins.
