🚑 Recover Lisk funds from non conventional passphrases

Recover funds from non conventional passphrases

---

You have a non standard passphrase and your funds are locked? No problem!

The other day on the Lisk chat there was a user saying that he had a 15 words passphrase and Lisk Hub wouldn't allow to transfer the funds. We started to debug together and I built this tool for him.

This super simple tool allows you to transfer funds from a wallet, using any passphrase.

The script is nothing else than calling lisk-elements in order to sign the transaction and then broadcast it.

Getting started

You will need a file editor, a terminal and have installed NodeJS. That's all.

• Open your terminal
• git clone https://github.com/nerdvibe/lisk-rescue.git
• cd lisk-rescue
• Now open the file generate.js and add your details to the fields
• Double check that the receiver address is correct.
• npm install
• node generate.js
• Now copy the output (including the {}) into broadcast.js
• Triple check that the receiver is correct.
• execute broadcast.js by running node broadcast.js

Recomendations: For the first attempt, try with a very low amount of LSK, e.g. 1 (which corresponds to 0.00000001 LSK)
