Mask Attack with a "blank" value?
#19
No luck yet, Oldmate? I bought a 1080 and getting 450 Kh/s now. I'm only just getting to the 'good parts' of my Script.

I'll hopefully have the password this month, I might have to run some longer attacks. I just received this PM on Reddit:

"Hi,

Have you figured out your ETH password issue?

In my case, I had first typed out my password in TextEdit.app (to visualize it so I could better remember) and then copied and pasted it when creating my wallet.

If you did something similar, and smart quotes or smart dashes were enabled then it's possible your password is wrong because of this. In other words, your password may actually be something like this:

hello “world”
But you keep typing

hello "world"
This is what happened to me. The solution was to type out the password in TextEdit with smart quotes/dashes enabled and then copy+paste it where needed.

Though, I think it is possible to generate these special characters directly from the keyboard. See: http://smartquotesforsmartpeople.com

Let me know if that helps, I'm gathering some data from people to see if we can resolve this. There may be more but the main characters I know to watch out for are:

double quotes
single quotes
apostrophe
two dashes in a row (converts to emdash)
three periods in a row (converts to ellipsis)"
