David Voricks attack on Bitmain and Innosilicon did some damage.

A3s left on Siamining.com and mining Siacoin chain during the forks first block all bricked.

money for revenge thats hardly an expense.

Innosilicon didnt just also threaten 51% of Siacoin, causing david to create a new fork?

It would be admirable.

But I don't see Innosilicon, Minebox, and Obelisk deliberately attacking coin networks or threatening to dox their customers. That's not cool.

Cool Story Sal. Are you sad i broke siacoin users files?
Are you sad your attempt to blackmail me didnt work?
Are you sad your decentralized fantasyland is actually centralized?
Are you sad i beat Innosilicon, Bitmain, Minebox, and Obelisk to market with a Siacoin miner?


Heres a post from January.

I have nothing to say about the account ownership claim of this user. I also did not had initially any intention to step in, but as this user claims he did something he did not achieved (and brags about it), and he is using the same extortion practices he has used in the Sia community, now I have to step in to provide clarity and context to the situation.

I am a Sia third-party developer (not core) and moderator of the Sia Discord community. I am also the owner of the resources websites https://siastats.info and https://keops.cc



Importantly, the Sia software has been patched for almost 2 months against the Sybil attack this user intended to perform, and he did not provoked any damage to the user's files

Mr. Honarchian used to be the owner of Siaberry Inc., a business selling Raspberry Pi kits preconfigured to be Sia "hosts". Sia is a decentralized storage network where users offer the free space in their disks (hosts) to users that want to store files in the network. All data is encrypted and each file distributed among 30 hosts with a 3x redundancy scheme that ensures any 20 of them can go offline but yet the files will be available to download. A community member (not even a core developer) revealed in two blog posts the security vulnerabilities of the hardware (https://blog.spaceduck.io/siaberry-1/) and the dubious business practices of the company (https://blog.spaceduck.io/siaberry-2/).

Moved by vindication, he decided to perform a Sybil attack against the whole network, by deploying a large number of hosts that could collect enough redundant copies of the files. Afterwards he would disconnect the machines and provoke a data loss on users on November 5th. He started to extort the Sia community and core developers requesting a ransom of $5000. For those interested, this is a folder full of screenshots of his multiple threats and extortion attempts:
However, as soon as the community detected his intentions, it reacted (in less than 10 days): on September 6th Sia version 1.3.4 is released (https://www.reddit.com/r/siacoin/comments/9dlrik/sia_v134_has_been_released/), including a feature that avoided users to keep adding more of Honarchian's machines to their list of hosts. On October 16th, version 1.3.6 is released (https://www.reddit.com/r/siacoin/comments/9orvzw/sia_v136_is_ready_download_now/) including a feature that cancels contracts with hosts using the same subnetwork (and so, making users to stop using his hosts). On September 6th I release Decentralizer (https://keops.cc/decentralizer) a simple tool that geolocates hosts and cancels contracts with those sharing location. The tool can keep detecting and associating these hosts even if the attacker uses VPNs or changes their geolocation, thanks to the use of an online database on SiaStats, which is constantly monitoring the network of hosts.

The Sia network has been inmune for almost two months to his attack, but yet he kept his extortion and his plan of provoking data loss on those not updating their clients. He even started to threat to dox people, including myself because I developed this tool to neutralize the attack. Take a look also at his Medium article he linked in his first post, where after paragraphs of no-sense he ends up claiming he will stop if he is paid $5000 before November 5th. Finally, 3 days ago, on October 24th, his machines get turned off.The proof that his attack did not had any effect and the redundancy scheme worked is that even 3 days after the unplugging event, no Sia user has reported so far on any of the Sia communities a data loss event.

As Mr. Honarchian is now using the same extortion and doxing techniques in the BTC community, I think it is important everybody knows the recent past of this user.

The recovery process takes time. This delay has nothing to do with you or what has happened in the past. It is slow because it is difficult.

The recovery rules are well explained and you did not follow any of them which makes the process even more time-consuming. But you are tending to turn it into a war. You will not gain anything from it. You will not gain anything exposing who has nothing to do with the administration of the forum. And making enemies makes everything harder.

Send the most amount of information to prove that you are the owner of the account and wait. As you had a store in the past with facebook page physical address and a phone number, I imagine your account will be recovered. But it will take more than a few days. Maybe weeks or months.

Here to get my account back and put pressure on Theymos and Cyrus to resume recovering peoples lost accounts.

See im righteous for the cause. I dont care if you want to put me down for extortion all i know it was worth stirring the shit to bring attention to the situation.

If I dont have the keys to that 1 bitcoin address you see, how do you propose I work on getting my account back?

Do i have to track down Theymos?

I suspect Theymos and Gang benefit in some way by making account recovery so difficult. No wonder they are neglecting the situation.

SFR10. Say what ever you want.

Posting all my clients dox is a great way to prove I am Sebdude420.

I told you already i quit btc in 2014 after being robbed. I destroyed a lot of the wallets already.

I still own that domain.

That's extortion (your past clients have nothing to do with your current situation)...

Nope, don't blame others for your own mistake (it's your sole responsibility to secure your own account).

That kind of attitude, gets you nowhere (SMH).

Not really.

Do you have a PGP key that you have used that is linked to the account ?

I've archived the earliest bitcoin address that you have quoted in case you find your old wallet data.

Thats too bad. I guess this forum is dead then.

You will be very lucky to get your account back. No matter the proofs you can give, etc. There are thousands of other people waiting on the line since year/months. I don't even remember the last time I saw a user with his account back.
It could better to forget your account.

May be or may not be. Everyone is free to decide. In my opinion, without proof, no accounts should be tagged. If you think about changes in posting behavior, you will find more than thousands.

Some can be found here-

That user posted this bitcoin address : 1JWsFCv2u47gkgSimeCAznQWwxaQiLiacr in June 2011,I don't find any other address added in his post history so he need to sign in a message from that address to verify the ownership.
We can saw many accounts has been tagged by using the reason of changing in their posting behaviour and long time gap between posts.And the current user of that account is wearing signature so it maybe bought for joining in bounties.

From BPIP that account's password was changed recently.Is it not enough that account was bought?

I think soon there will be a solution because everyone is fed up with this. I have seen somewhere theymos said he is willing to spend $100k for solving this problem. Also, here is a statement from hilari-

Without strong proof that OP is the actual owner, I don't think DT will tag the account. Also, DT should not tag, IMO.

@OP
As per the rules of recovering account, you don't have any proof that you own the account. The possibilty of recovering the account near zero almost.
Anyway, I wish any trusted old member can verify the real owner in different ways so that you can get back your account. Good luck.
