Straight answers to common questions.

We recover forgotten passwords to compatible encrypted Bitcoin Core and Blockchain.com wallets. We do not recover a missing or partly remembered seed phrase. We check the exact wallet version before accepting a case.

It depends on how the password was made and what you remember. Human-made passwords often contain patterns we can search. Long, truly random passwords may be impractical. We assess this before work begins and never promise a result.

There is no reliable standard time. A narrow search may finish quickly; a broad search may take much longer or never find a match. We give you a case-specific assessment after reviewing your clues.

The success fee is 15% of the recovered wallet: 10% to the operator that found the password and 5% to Distribrute. There is no fee if recovery fails.

For now, we focus on wallets worth about $50,000 or more because a distributed search uses significant compute. If your case is close, submit it and we will review it.

Custodial means you send the encrypted wallet through secure intake and Distribrute handles the wallet-side recovery and settlement. Non-custodial means the wallet stays on your computer; you send only a safe test piece and complete recovery in a guided local session.

Distribrute guides the local wallet unlock, transaction construction, and owner review. Signing happens only after approval, then the signed transaction is verified and broadcast. A dedicated Recovery Room app is planned but is not live yet.

No. The public form collects contact details, wallet type, and password clues. If the case is accepted, we send a separate secure intake link and explain exactly what to provide.

The current release targets Linux on x86-64 with NVIDIA GPUs. RTX 30, 40, or 50 series cards with at least 8 GB of VRAM are preferred. Windows, macOS, and AMD releases are not supported yet.

The operator whose machine finds the verified password receives 10% of the recovered wallet after settlement. Finished password batches without a match do not pay.

No. It is prize work. Most batches find nothing, and a payout happens only when your machine finds the password for a recovery that completes.

Operators receive real recovery work and may be paid from customer funds. Identity review and an operator agreement provide legal accountability and support compliant payouts.

The operator does not have the full wallet or its spending keys. The password alone cannot move the funds, so the match must come back through the recovery process.

It is a small piece of wallet data that can recognize a possible password but cannot be used to spend. The exact technical format differs by wallet, but customers do not need to understand it to use the service.

Only in custodial recovery. In non-custodial recovery the wallet stays on your computer and Distribrute receives only the safe test piece. Operator machines receive only the safe test piece in both modes.

No. It is trust-minimized. Custodial customers trust Distribrute with the encrypted wallet and settlement. Non-custodial customers trust their own computer and the guided recovery workflow. The operator fleet is separated from the wallet in both modes.
