Cyrus successfully recovered my account. I'm back Smiley

Congratulations. Did you receive a PM or something? I still haven't received anything.

It sucks that im stuck here watching how some idiot spammed his ICO:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/manselr-381190

Look at the posts after October 08... I mean cmon guys, this is insane.
I did. Why didn't you lock the account from email ? That way no one can use it at least.

How does cyrus respond? I requested my account to be recovered back in october when the security feature wasn't present and my account was hacked a long time ago. Seems you jumped ahead of me in the queue and I'm wondering what you did differently to me?

hi Hilarious

you propose to me to help me recover my old account

i send you all the proof, could you just tell me if you receive the PM and if you can unlock me?

thanks

Not unless you can sign a message and even then all I can do is ban or unlock it but not restore access of it to you.

I'm not sure if this security feature was implemented back then as it's a fairly recent addition.

Is it possible to sign a message to recover an account with Ethereum address, not Bitcoin?

Yes, as long as it is staked somewhere.

Situation has been like this for a long time. I simply don't understand why more people do not recover accounts ?

Because there's only two admins with the power to do so and they are both swamped and don't have the time to look into everything that needs sorting. It's a shit situation but only theymos has the power to do something about this. I've told him that he should either promote someone else to admin or consider paying himself a reasonable wage and do admin duties full time because it's badly needed.

Even better why forum doesn't have any security features ? 2FA might be hard to implement on old platform but I mean at least require email verification before password change. Is it that hard to do ? I can personally code that in less than half an hour.

Some sort of 2-factor is also badly needed but I get that there's not much point implementing it on this forum with the new one in development (though if the new forum is still 1-2 years away still it probably should be put into place here in the meantime).

Theymos said he unlocked it.

Looks like you can make it happen. Could you tell theymos to look at my case? Given that I have been waiting 1 month more than OP, and given all the addresses I provided, I would like to get it back as well.

I just told him to look into the many others that still need sorting but he's probably got a hundred and one other things to be doing, but I agree the rate they're getting recovered is unacceptable.

Great Job hilariousandco !  I think if theymos set even 1 hour per week dedicated to recovering Accts. there would be alot of happy users and less topics on Meta about Recovering Hacked/stolen/locked accts.

You are one of MANY MANY people who have had their accounts lost/stolen/Hacked.  You should just move on because there is an almost 100% chance you will not get it back.

So many users before you have begged and pleaded with the Admins here for their accounts back even with the proof as required by theymos but so so FEW have ever recovered their accounts back.

I have only seen a handful of Accounts being recovered.

The Recovery process Even with Proof is an absolute failure.
I got my account recovered within a few days. So you aren't right that there is no chance to get account back.
But it's not good that mainly only one person Cyrus is doing that job. He getting lot of similar messages about hacked accounts. And as an Admin, he has more stuff to do and account recovery isn't priority. I believe that Cyrus may missed your message among many others. You can try sending another PM and bump this thread every day for visibility.
It would be good if some Staff members would get permission to recover accounts, offcourse if they agree to do it, because it requires time and more responsibility.
Not often I hear that someone could bring back his account, I am really happy you could. But don't you think that bumping this thread can bring the user to banning, cause of he may be admitted as a spammer?

Begone junkers!
Just my opinion.. Don't give up nagging for it and keep begging for "their" attentions to yours..

For all I know of a public forum works out, recovery account is a troublesome already to be handled by 5 mods only.. And yet in here it's only Cyrus alone and with theymos as backup. You just go imagine this.. Your Email inbox is filled by SPAMS, JUNKERS, SCAMMERS, NEWBIES, RETARDS, ETC.. With infinity address that we could make! So.. It's only the matter of "their" attentions into yours.

Good luck though.. Dealing this kind of forum by several people only is times consuming.. And yet the real life is getting worse and worse to handle if you not pay attention on it XD~

indeed, the best way is to letting it go dude, the moderator will recover your account if you can prove that account is yours. if you couldnt verified, then absolutely your account get locked forever. something need to remember that Moderators are rarely recover any account. just make new account then forget about your lost account.!

Yeah, let's forget about an account where you've put years of your time on, making connections, talking to people, and just lose all of your PM history, even if you can provide all the proof needed to recover it as requested. Honestly fuck off.

Also OP, I sent my PM to Cyrus on October 09 and another PM to theymos on November 24, I have signed all of the addresses that I posted with my account:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.25108856

Yet im still waiting. I have no idea if they have even checked my case or not. So here I am, watching some jackass spam their ICO shit with my account when im obviously manselr. This feels like a god damn joke at this point. Why do they have an account recovery process if they ignore it? Specially when I've signed not one, but 4 signatures on locked threads from different years confirming I own all of these keys. This is a nightmare.


I feel ya there! Might not be much to most, but I made some decent ties here. I lost my stuff during a house fire 2 winters ago
And I didn't get on much during the time the house was being rebuit, and now my account is locked.

Had ALOT of help today from the global Mod Hilariousandco, but to no avail, Cyrus or Theymos need to unlock it.

P.S. waiting 360 is another reason I miss my main Account!

Like so Many of you paid Sig. Ad people you are quick to respond without READING what a person says when you Quote them!!! I SAID THERE IS ALMOST......ALMOST  no chance of getting it back and i also said...SO FEW HAVE EVER RECOVERED THEIR ACCOUNTS BACK.

You PAID spammers just start typing without reading to increase your shitpost accounts.
You exaggerate it too much. From what I saw on Meta, quite many people getting their accounts back. Sometimes after few days, but sometimes it can took weeks or even months to recover accounts. Only some of these people who provide all required proofs never get their account back.
P.S. I read every word of your post.
I've thought about messaging again about mine, but the pinned post clearly says send Cyrus one message. Mine is also locked, not hacked or stolen. I've sent my sig with proof to Cyrus. It'd be great if a couple senior members could message Cyrus, to help some people out.
You are right about pinned post, but Global Mod hilariousandco said that I can send PM to Cyrus once a week, I think you can do same thing:

Okay, so I've contacted Cyrus on Novemeber 19. providing him signed message from my address that is 1+ year old (Oh yeah, my account is hacked btw). Then I sent message to Theymos on December 2. but still no reply from admins. Signature is valid, I don't see the point in posting it here, since I don't really want for you guys to neg my account, will have to message you after I get it back (hopefully) to remove the trust then. So the point of my thread, is it normal for everyone or it's just me ? (next week it will be a whole month)

lol,  you should understand something:

The POINT of negging hacked accounts is to prevent them from being used for scams while NOT under original owners control.
negs are always REMOVED from those accounts after the owner gets them back. its win win for the community even if you dont get it back.
By not posting for it to be negged so it cant be used negatively, your kinda showing behavior DESERVING of a neg haha, as you are being selfish, what if someones being scammed with it as we type, that a neg could have avoided? Sad     

Account is locked... Please don't assume something before you know all the facts Smiley

It's completely normal unfortunately. Just keep bumping this thread every so often and you might get lucky but it's not uncommon to be waiting weeks/months/indefinitely.

You can post the signed message in here for others to check it verifies. If it does I can PM an admin to try get them to look into it.

Edit:
Guys Account is locked, there is no need to post here or PM me (multiple times) in order to explain me how it might be used for scamming. I'm aware of that, but as soon as I got that password change email I locked it straight away.

Anyways account in question is: eckmar
