IMPORTANT — SAFETY NOTICE (READ FIRST)

The text below is purely fictional and for study/illustration only.
Under no circumstances should anyone enter a real seed phrase (12/24 words) into any online service. Doing so will almost certainly result in theft of funds. The fictional service described below is an imaginative exercise showing what features such a system might report — real verification of seeds must always be done offline using audited open-source tools or hardware wallets.

Service Description — CheckSeed.info

Service name (fictional): CheckSeed.info
Tagline: „Verify structure, provenance and on-chain linkage of backup seeds (conceptual simulator)“

 

High-level idea (fictional)

CheckSeed.info is presented as a web dashboard that accepts hashed or masked representations of seed words (in the fiction) and returns a set of diagnostic reports: validity (BIP39/SLIP39), likely coin compatibility (BTC, ETH, LTC), passphrase usage indicator, potential public-address derivations, and heuristic signals whether that seed (or variants of it) appears publicly leaked (based on scraped public paste sites — fictional). The service also offers a local/offline mode where users can download a binary to run on an air-gapped computer.

Reminder: DO NOT paste or type real seeds on any website. The fictional flow below assumes idealized privacy-preserving transforms that in practice are unsafe.

 

Fictional workflow (what the site claims to do)

  1. User input (fictional)

    • Option A (masked): user uploads a locally-computed cryptographic hash of each word-position (so the site never directly receives words).

    • Option B (simulation): user enters only partial words or phonetic hints; the tool runs suggestions.

    • Option C (offline binary): user runs the tool on an air-gapped PC.

  2. Backend checks (fictional)

    • Validates words against BIP39/SLIP39 dictionaries.

    • Attempts to reconstruct checksum validity for 12/24/18-word combinations.

    • Tests common passphrase patterns (user must indicate whether passphrase used).

    • Locally derives a small set of likely public addresses (first N derivation paths for BTC/ETH/LTC) only in offline mode.

  3. Public exposure scan (fictional)

    • Matches hashed/masked word-signatures against an index of publicly scraped paste sites, code repositories and dark-web dumps (theoretically by matching partial n-gram hashes — again: fictional).

    • Flags if the same masked signature appears in publicly indexed text (a privacy-preserving match in the fiction).

  4. Risk scoring and report (fictional)

    • Validity: PASS / FAIL / PARTIAL (checksum)

    • Coin compatibility: BTC / ETH / LTC likely / unlikely

    • Passphrase usage probable: YES/NO/UNKNOWN

    • Public leak indicator: NONE / POSSIBLE / CONFIRMED (fictional heuristics)

    • Suggested fixes: list of candidate BIP39 words if typos detected (ranked by Levenshtein / phonetic similarity).

Example Fictional Outputs (how the report looks — purely illustrative)

Sample report A (fictional)

  • Validity: PARTIAL — 23/24 words matched BIP39 list; checksum mismatch.

  • Top candidate for missing 24th word: petrol (score 0.93), period (score 0.54).

  • Coin coverage: BTC addresses derived (m/44/0/0/0/0..4) — no on-chain balance found (fictional).

  • Public leak: POSSIBLE — masked signature matched one paste entry dated 2023-09-11 (fictional).

  • Recommendation: run offline address derivation on an air-gapped machine and move funds to a new seed if any leak confirmed.

Sample report B (fictional)

  • Validity: PASS — 12 words valid, checksum OK.

  • Passphrase indicator: NO (user reported none).

  • Derived ETH address [0xabc…123]: balance 0.00 ETH (fictional check via public explorer).

  • Public leak: NONE.

  • Suggestion: backup on metal plate, distribute 2 copies in different secure locations.

Fictional algorithms & heuristics (high-level, safe explanation)

  • Typo suggestions: compute Levenshtein distance between user token and BIP39 wordlist; rank candidates.

  • Phonetic matching: Soundex/Metaphone-like algorithm to handle transcription errors.

  • Checksum testing: combine candidate words offline to compute BIP39 checksum — helps eliminate impossible combinations.

  • Address derivation (offline mode): derive first N addresses per common derivation paths; present only public addresses for explorer lookup.

  • Public-leak matching (conceptual): store hashed n-gram signatures of scraped public dumps and perform secure scalar matching (fictional — actual implementation would leak data and be unsafe).

 

What results mean (fictional studyinterpretation)

  • Validity PASS: phrase conforms to BIP39 grammar and checksum. This does not mean funds exist; it only means phrase is structurally valid.

  • Partial/Checksum fail: likely typo or wrong order — candidate words may restore it. Offline recovery steps recommended.

  • Public leak POSSIBLE/CONFIRMED: indicates a match in the public corpus for similar/masked signature — treat as high risk and move funds immediately (offline restore & transfer).

  • No on-chain balance: derived addresses (first N) show zero balance — coins could be on other derivation paths; absence of balance in sample addresses is not proof of zero funds.

 

Critical security disclaimers (must read)

  • This entire service is fictional for study only. In real life, any online seed checking tool is inherently unsafe.

  • Never enter your full seed into any website or remote tool.

  • Always perform any seed validation or address derivation on an air-gapped computer using audited open-source tools or on a hardware wallet display.

  • If you suspect any exposure, create a new seed on a trusted device and immediately transfer funds.

 

Safe alternatives (what you should actually do)

  1. Offline verification: run an open-source BIP39 tool on an air-gapped machine to test candidate words and compute checksum.

  2. Hardware recovery: restore seed on a new hardware wallet (in a secure, offline environment) to confirm addresses — do not connect to suspicious hosts.

  3. Public address check: only after deriving public addresses offline, paste the public addresses (not seed) into blockchain explorers (Etherscan, Blockstream, etc.).

  4. Leak checks: search for your public addresses or non-sensitive metadata on public paste sites; never search with seed content.

 

Concluding note (again): why I insist on fiction + safety

The tempting idea of a one-click online seed verifier that tells you if your backup is safe is appealing — but the reality is brutal: any service that asks for seed words online is a theft mechanism. The safer, practical approach is to design offline workflows (air-gapped, audited, open source) and to treat seeds like physical bank vault keys.
