The admins set out the procedure for recovering accounts here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/recovering-hacked-accounts-or-accounts-with-lost-passwords-497545 which is pinned on this board so it is always in view. You were negligent in not securing your account by not staking an address you could use to reclaim it.
Why the admins strongly insist on signed bitcoin messages as the one and only acceptable way of validation?
Yes, I agree signed bitcoin messages is super secure and cannot be easily tampered with, but why is it the one and only way acceptable?
Why wasn't every other security measure in place to prevent fraud?
Are the admins trying to set a precedence to show to the world that signed bitcoin messages is the only secure way to go?
Now my hacked account is making Turkish comments and there is nothing I can do about it because of the insecurity of signed bitcoin messages.
I'm pretty sure they use this method because, YOU are the only person who can create a message with That SPECIFIC address.
Even if an account gets hacked, and you still have access to YOUR wallet with the address, Only YOU can add a message to the signature.
I understand your frustration, but it is a good method of verification. Had I not been able to use this method, my account would have been lost.
I literally just got my count back a few days ago.
Perhaps was there any OTHER place on social media or another website you may have staked the address? For a campaign or something?
