I was unable to locate any of the software I had used before that was free.
That said, GNU ddrescue looks like it could work. Your father would hopefully have experience with Linux and could understand this. The bottom also mentions some other software to try if you can get the bulk with GNU ddrescue but still have some corrupted files. The commands at the bottom also include some example command options you might use including "-r3" which means retry any it couldn't recover three times but tweek to what you think you need.
"ddrescue --help" will give you all the options so read through it. I check and Fedora has GNU ddrescue in the main repo but I imagine many others like Ubuntu and Debian also do so whatever distro you/your father prefer should work. You will need a drive larger then the dead drive to clone this all to during recovery. While it nay be possible to compress, at this point you just need to get the data off your drive ASAP.
Considering there's a finite number of Bitcoin that will ever exist, I'm not sure it's really inflation in the sense that we normally know with currency where governments start printing money without it being backed by anything.
The difficulty to get Bitcoin has been significantly increasing ever since its creation and will only continue to get more difficult. The reward for the increading difficulty halves every four years and in 2140 there will be no new bitcoins.
Yeah me too. Eth and RVN also just occasionally on my Gaming PC. Gtx 1660. Wanted to try out Monero but it doesnt really seem profitable. I am also going to buy an rtx 3080 when they are back in stock so I might try mining with it
