Retired truck driver had 10 million DOGE, which was worth $3 million.<\/span>\u00a0A wallet recovery service saved the day and reunited him in his fortune.<\/span><\/p>\n

A wallet recovery service claims it has done the impossible: It opened a wallet six years old that held 10 million DOGE.<\/span><\/p>\n

KeychainX stated that it was contacted in 2015 by a retired truck driver, who purchased a large Dogecoin stash for $1,500.<\/span>\u00a0Its value has risen by more than 2000x and is now worth more than $3,000,000<\/span><\/p>\n

The problem is that his Android wallet PIN was 12 digits in length, which the company believed would prove impossible to crack over a lifetime.<\/span><\/p>\n

The\u00a0KeychainX\u00a0team got to work by asking for numbers that had significance to him — such as the year of his birth.<\/span>\u00a0They then analysed his wallet to determine the type of wallet encryption he had used.<\/span><\/p>\n

After endless experimentation, they finally realized that the PIN may be part of the wallet owner\u2019s hints.<\/span>\u00a0It worked.<\/span><\/p>\n

It was a nerve-wracking moment<\/span><\/h2>\n

KeychainX’s most difficult task was to ensure that funds in the wallet had been moved safely.<\/span>\u00a0It was six years old, so it took several days for it to sync.<\/span><\/p>\n

Nervous moments included a test transaction to make sure that DOGE from the amount would safely reach its destination.<\/span><\/p>\n

Additional precautions were taken to make sure that keyloggers are not installed that could cause funds to disappear.<\/span><\/p>\n

Robert Rhodin (CEO of KeychainX) said that the happy DOGE investor had promised to share a beer the next time he visits.<\/span>\u00a0He said, “Losing your pin to your wallet doesn’t hurt after all.<\/span>\u00a0It could change your life if you can open it years later.<\/span>\u00a0It was a great experience.<\/span><\/p>\n

Investors are our priority<\/span><\/h2>\n

KeychainX was launched in 2017 and specialises in the recovery of lost crypto from mobile, software and hardware wallets.<\/span>\u00a0It has recovered over 100 wallets in the last six months. The company primarily focuses on restoring Bitcoin and Ether that have been made unaccessible.<\/span>\u00a0They have reunited investors with BTC since 2013, and ETH dating back to 2015.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to the company, its custom software retrieves keys 1,000 times faster than other tools. This is a stark contrast to competitors who either use pseudonyms or are one-man bands.<\/span><\/p>\n

KeychainX stated to Cointelegraph that while there is consensus that 20% of Bitcoin have been lost forever, they believe those Bitcoin are still waiting for discovery.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
