What are you planning to do with it ?
I see what you are trying to do. And I would say I don't forget about that. Encryption is away more complex than you think now
What is the benefit of encrypiton?
try to recover my lost oldest btc wallet of 3.7btc. I have btcrecover and some other tools in python that might help me recover it as I have most of the seed (2 words are missing, and 1 might be incorrect) as I dont have any wallet address of it I need the whole blockchain database. btc addresses as of 2021 is so large (more than 6gb) so that require minimum 12gb of ram. there's no need for that as my wallet is from 2014 I believe. databases up to 2017 shouldnt be more than 3gb which is good

I fail to see how having the btc blockchain from 2014 - 2017 would help you recover your addr if two words of a seed phrase are missing.
The data you get from the blockchain isn't going to be brute-forcible with all but 2 words of a seed.
Wouldn't getting a normal brute forcing word generation tool to try to find the two words make more sense? Even better, depending on the provider of the storage, you can find out if they have a closed list of words that they use (most do) which would mean instead of you trying to brute force (2 ^^ every word in the english dictionary), you'd just need to brute force (2 ^^ the set of words they use)?
Getting the entire chain data sounds more like you'd be trying to brute force whole private keys. I'm not accusing you of that, i just can't see how what you said makes sense.
brute forcing word generation tool??? like what? you need to provide atleast one bitcoin address for that to work. also my seed only belongs to one wallet which is mine. testing it on whole blockchain would only help me recover my wallet and not someone elses wallet. I was able to recover one wallet that has 3 words not in the right order. so I might be able to recover this one aswell. however I dont have any records ofany wallet associated with it like the other one so I need whole btc addresses to test on

So blockchains typically don't create seed phrases. They create keys. Software that accesses blockchains and provides UI's for them use seed phrases.
So if you have a seed phrase sans two words, it's not for direct access to a bitcoin wallet. It's to an account on some app or software like Blockchain.com or something else, right?
So my point is that you need two words to go with the other how ever many you have, and then you would enter that into a software and it would give you access to the account which is linked to the bitcoin address where your btc is stored. i.e what I'm saying is you need access to an account that is unlocked with words, not blockchain data.

If I understand correctly he wants to find an address that owns 3.7 BTC and was created before 2017. He remembers seed phrase partially, but not the wallet address. So, talking about seeds, words, keys or other stuff doesn't help.

As far as I could understand, you could make your own AdressDb from blockchain data.
"Steps to Create an AddressDb from the Blockchain Data: 1. You must use a computer with enough space for the full blockchain that you want to process and RAM equal to double the AddressDB size that you will end up with (This is an extremely generous estimate, you will likely be fine with less, but pretty much need to have at least as much as the AddressDB you want to create) . You must have the 64-bit version of Python installed. (Other smaller blockchains require significantly less space and RAM)

yes exactly, I dont want an address db of 2021, up to 2016/2017 is enough to me as I know my wallet was never used after 2016. this way the process will be easier. is there anyway I can make my own db addresses with limited time?

The steps are given in the link posted above, it requires you to run your Bitcoin node, let it sync for a day or so, then there's a script provided that will make an AddressDb for you, containing all known addreses from the beginning to today. Then, on the next command you can restrict by date.
This is my understanding of it, I'm not familiar with this software. It's quite some work, it requires a relatively good computer, I can only wish you good luck.
