Unsure which method to use
#1
Hi all, hashcat is really great!

I'm trying to crack my forgotten password on a bitcoin wallet... I was able to extract the hash and I have all the GPU
drivers installed, but I'm struggling a little bit with what method would be the best to try to use.

I've got a list of possible strings, and then I know back then I was doing things like doing stupid modifications to passwords,
like changing E to be a 3 or making A be a 4, or "bitcoin" be bi7coin or bitcoiN, etc. I am pretty sure that if I replaced an "O"
with a zero (0) in a word, I would have done it for both instances of the letter "O" when it occurs.

The above kind of suggests I use the leetspeak.rule, but my list of possible strings is really short, so I think its too small to
be efficiently parallel. I tried ./hashcat.bin -a 0 -m 11300 ./hash.txt ./wordlist.txt -O -w 3 -r rules/unix-ninja-leetspeak.rule, but that finished way too fast (without success).

Any suggestions would be appreciated, I'm still reading the wiki and documentation to understand what options would make sense.
