                Tutorial on how to break into bitcoin accounts with poorly censored private keys.
              
          
Imagine you find a screenshot of a private key for a bitcoin wallet with money in it, but some of the characters are censored. Here is how you crack it.

Remember, private keys (WIF's) usually have 52 characters in them and only occasionally 51.
Use this to figure out how many characters you are missing in the private key.
