BTCKeyTester

If you have written down the private key of your Bitcoin address in HEX or Base58 but can't read it completely, this is a potential solution.

Usage

Replace all chars you can't read with a _ (e.g. dc7546c9cef4e980c563a4cb42efede82c40c0e5fce55c4a7304f32747e029__) It will generate all possible combinations of the private key and check if the associated address is the same as the one you have written down.
