Pirat_Nation 🔴(@Pirat_Nation):A Bitcoin holder has recovered nearly $400,000 worth of BTC after being locked out of his wallet for over 11 years, with help from Anthropic’s AI assistant Claude. The owner changed his wallet password in college, later forgot it, and spent years unsuccessfully trying to regain access. The AI did not “hack” Bitcoin or crack the wallet’s encryption. Instead, it analyzed legacy wallet files, identified an older backup created before the password change, and uncovered issues in the recovery process. Using those findings with existing recovery information, the owner reconstructed access to the wallet.
