Bitcoin2john — Full Story

What Bitcoin2john refers to

Bitcoin2john is the name commonly given to a set of Python scripts/tools maintained in the Hashcat/john-the-ripper password‑recovery ecosystems that convert Bitcoin (and other cryptocurrency) wallet files or key formats into hashed password representations suitable for offline cracking tools (notably John the Ripper). The converted output is usually given in a format like “bitcoin2john” so John or Hashcat can attempt to recover plaintext passphrases protecting wallet private keys. Python 2

Faithful Bible Translation You Can Trust

The Lockman Foundation is a religious nonprofit, nondenominational Christian ministry committed to the faithful translation of Scripture from the original Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek. Every Bible we publish is produced with careful scholarship, theological integrity, and a deep respect for the inspired Word of God.

Our translations—the New American Standard Bible (NASB), the Amplified Bible (AMP), and Spanish Bibles including the Nueva Biblia de las Américas (NBLA)—are trusted for accuracy, clarity, and reliability by churches, pastors, educators, and readers around the world.

Bible Translations for Study, Clarity, and Everyday Reading

Because readers engage with Scripture in different ways, The Lockman Foundation offers multiple Bible translations designed to support careful study, clear understanding, and faithful application of God’s Word.

The Amplified Bible expands the meaning of key words and phrases from the original languages, helping readers grasp the richness and nuance of Scripture. The Nueva Biblia de las Américas provides Spanish-speaking readers with a modern, accurate translation rooted in the same commitment to precision that defines the NASB.

The Accuracy and Integrity of the New American Standard Bible (NASB)

The New American Standard Bible is widely respected for its commitment to formal equivalence—a translation philosophy that seeks to render the original languages of Scripture word‑for‑word wherever possible while remaining clear and readable.

Available in NASB 1995 and NASB 2020 editions, the NASB is trusted by pastors, professors, and serious students of Scripture who value precision, grammatical consistency, and faithfulness to the original text for teaching, preaching, and in‑depth study.
