For a few months now, especially with the continued price run ups, I wondered who, if anyone, had created a crypto service to try and recovery old wallets that house what are now mini Bitcoin fortunes. Now I will be the first to say that when I first stumbled across the interview I did I was pretty skeptical. Not because of who they were or what they were doing but because the interview and story was on HYPEBEAST of all places. I do not know about you but that is not exactly where I go looking for crypto articles but it appears they are trying to branch out into that very space!

Well a few weeks ago one such company came to my attention but I honestly was a little to busy to be able to follow up on the topic so I flagged it so I would follow up on it later. One thing right off the bat that I do liked about this company was the back story of it being a father-son duo really trying to solve a complex puzzle and get people their funds back! Nothing screams American Dream to me more then a family affair trying to solve an issue without the help of any sort of big company. Their company is based in New Hampshire and ic called Crypto Asset Recovery.

In there different interviews that you can read about below the duo embraces the idea of being white hat ethical hackers. Those are the types of hackers who tend to work in cybersecurity and attempt to hack their way into different things to find vulnerabilities and fix them! While it has been estimated that up to 20% of what has already been mined is in stranded or lost wallets that is not necessarily the type the duo is after in terms of unlocking and returning to the owner. Rather through their own means they have figured that roughly 2.5% of that lost Bitcoin is recoverable which may seem small until you realize that its over $3.5 billion USD.

While the company is here to help it is not something that is done for free due to the amount of time consumed and the fact they have now made this into a business. From what I have read they are very clear with people and even have it on their website that they cannot help you if you have no clue what the password is or if it was 15+ randomly generated characters. For now that type of stuff remains unhackable. If you do meet their requirements though they will try and help and it costs no money upfront. Rather what they charge is a portion of what they are able to recover so if you have between 0-10 BTC you will be charged a 20% commission. For 11-19 you are charged 20% for the first 10 and then it is a sliding scale and list an example in their pricing with a 15 BTC wallet example. They charge 20% for the first 10 and 15% for the next 5 resulting in the recovery costing 2.75 BTC. The last section is for any wallet of 20 BTC+ and like the previous one its 20% on the first 10, followed by the sliding till 19 BTC and finally 10% on anything over 20 BTC.

While these prices might seem high when you look at the value now and the fact that they do not charge a thing if they are unable to get access to the wallet then it really is not that bad. From what I have found there really is not another company that is set up like this meaning it being a small company so that if it does work the keys don't have to go through layers of a company or through multiple hands where lets be honest funds could disappear. This is a family affair and is something that shows that crypto is made for all business no matter the size!
