Not really possible.... Brute force maybe?

The problem is I have 1000btx in that wallet.

Pretty much.  Who's going to be the first person to pay 10k BTSX for a pizza??  :D

+5% And in that line of thinking... Who's going to be the first to pay $1K for 1 BTSX?

1k per btsx at 2000000000 supply = market cap of 2 trillion dollars, if my maths is correct.

250 times the current market cap of Bitcoin.

which took 5 years combined with first mover advantage to produce.

Your best option would be to brute force the password starting with guesses of what you think it might be to cut down on the number of possibilities.  Unfortunately you're looking at the business end of blockchain security :(.


Google around, there are some forums/posts about services and techniques to recover passwords if you know most of the passphrase.  If you don't know any of it then you're pretty much out of luck.

for 1k btsx he's probably better off just replacing it rather than paying for someone to brute force, unless he's hackerish or finds somebody willing to help him out for free (or just a couple dollars)

or keeping the wallet and waiting until 1k btsx is a thousand bucks THEN finding somebody to do it.
