You're exactly right. But the more I think about it, I don't want the whore that stole it to have it. That motherfucker has cost me enough.

bare with it, theymos is practically busy anyway, you gonna have to wait for weeks sometimes, but the damage to your account will be hard to deal with, once you get your account back, not sure if people will be willing to drop the red trust

Alright that awesome. All I have to do is buy a $10 phone card and reactivate my phone to get in my Coinbase account. Thanks very much.

Here is a how to by coinbase. https://support.coinbase.com/customer/portal/articles/1526413-how-do-i-sign-a-message-with-a-bitcoin-address-

I'm kinda lost at this? I see how that guy signed a message. Do I need to be in my Coinbase account to do that with the 1Fijjy addy? If so I need to buy some time for the phone that its connected to. I haven't used that cell phone in a while and the coinbase account needs to send me a code to get in it.

Make sure the message is short and to the point. Include a signed message in the form theymos requires[1]. He also said to have a leaky queue, so you might have to resend every could of days. Even if everything is as needed, it might still take some time[2].

I've emailed Theymos a couple days ago, but I still have yet to hear from him.

Yeah the 1Fijjy account is my Coinbase account. But its like you said the damage is done. I'm gonna email Theymos though and see what they can do.

Im not sure this can be done. I also have been wrong with thinks that I though cant be done in the past. I personally think the most reasonable explanation for what happened is that you got hacked and the person that hacked the account knows candy, which in turn used the account to try and get to quickseller. It works with the least amount of assumptions. From what I know about the way theymos handles the restoration of passwords you would be able to get your account back if you would sign a message with an old address from an unedited post.

e.g. 1FiJJy2C22A4KhfQaU68yVa3DdsoCWQ9SV as posted here[1], Ill quote it below just in case.


I think this should be enough for theymos if you follow the format here[2], but it will most likely not change the ratings you received.

I'm still looking for someone for .25btc that can use all the info that's posted and more if need, to show that this was not me. Like I said before, if you need more info from me than what I've posted, idc to give it to you, but I need to know why. I done been hacked once. I'm not trying to let it happen again.

Exactly. First off all I'm smart enough to know and understand the consequences if I was to "rent out" my account. I would never do this for numerous reasons. The main reason is because of my password. Its the same for everything. That's how they got my Gmail account, my cryptsy account, and FortuneJack account. 2nd, they is no scammer that I've ever heard of trying to show that they aren't the ones that attempted a scam. Really it wasn't even a complete scam. Nobody's money was taken. A easy lie was would have been to say that its my friend or something talking, but that's not it at all. The convicted2008 account is stolen. I will never be able to recover the damage that's done to it. No matter what is said in the trust, that doubt is always going to be there. Don't ever talk to that account if your messaged by it, because I'm not gonna pursue getting it back. Its completely fucked. Lastly, if someone can follow all these posts and end up here, I'm offering a .25btc reward if you can show that this was not me with all the info that's posted and if you need something else and can prove to me why I should give it to. I do want this to show that I was not 0.00000001% involved in this. NONE. Don't know who did it but I can say I did not know or have any contact with the person that "TRIED" to scam Quickseller.

thats obviously because you made another alt account like it states..

Certainly.


Sadly not.


Well after the screenshots the wallet identifier was certainly known as well as the password.


Its a valid theory, but it sounds like we should cut[1] it.

To summarize this. We have:
#1 insufficient security practices and/or a trojan
#2 rented the account


Which is unusual for hackers though. The typical approach would be to wipe what is available and be gone.


Well it fits with the hacked, but not immediatly changed the password theory. The times are (for my timezone at least):
#hhmmss - event
#002211 - password changed
#002511 - Convicted2008 last active
#002621 - Neonecrox13 registered



I am not certain about this either, but not because of the times. My main problem with the hacked theory is that the scam attempt was way before the change of the password.


Hard to tell, a scammer would write the same or something very similar. I am not sure how long it would take me to notice my trust rating changed. I guess it depends on the section one is posting in. The last post by Convicted2008 before confronting you via PM was this[2] which would reveal the rating gue to the section (gambling).


From my perspective as a european thats worlds between the two locations. But physical location is not as relevant nowadays.


I am not sure what to think, but the account is certainly scorched earth. Even if they planned it together the person that originally owned the Convicted2008 account can no longer use it. I dont think the past matters that much as the fact that something fishy was going on. I think this thread gather enough details for anyone that wants to get a picture about what happened.

This came via PM, I hope its fine to post this here. I somehow think it should be public.


Thanks, it was not needed, but I appreciate it.

I was actually playing on bithorse when I went to make a comment on their thread I notice once it posted that I had red trust.

dude talk about jumping accounts to account. 

So how did you know you had negative trust 20 minutes after it was posted?

You know. This is the first time I've seen that post before. I had no idea that it had been posted. Wow. They didn't do anything with the trust or I would have noticed it immediately. If I had of seen this I would have knew immediately that something was going on. Whoever this is can't type or I would imagine speak English very well I've noticed. I'm just on lunch right now. I get off at 4 so give me a bit to make a post about everything again.

Ya, but I could see him seeing this post, made on February 11, 2015, 06:54:42 PM, notifying him that he has bad trust and is accused of being an alt account.

Everything that I have stated is the truth. Everything that I have said has been the truth. I have no more evidence to present. While my security practices may not be the safest, they are basically the same ones every person uses. Only the ones that have been hacked or had something stolen online before practice better security. I'll never be able to get my convicted2008 account back. I have no way of showing that it is my account since they changed the email associated with the account.

While I admitted to breaking in the pharmacy and yes I did fight with the cops, that was in 2007. I was convicted in 2008 and released in 2010. Not 1 time since my release have I been in trouble. Nothing. No parking tickets, no loitering, no nothing. While serving your time out is by law's standards the end of your punishment for the crime you committed, it does never end. Yes I can apply for a appeal and have my sentence expunged, but I still have to wait on that as well. But this is getting off subject. This is what I done and I can't no won't deny it.

If you would have found out that I was a convicted felon and just left negative trust on my account for that, it would not have bothered me 1 bit. I don't know who know's what I done. But I have to stand up when its something that I did not have no part of. I have never heard of Candystripes before now. Yes I'm on the forums regularly. Yes I've have probably read or commented on some post that they are associated in. But if I had, its went in one ear and out the other. I hear scam in every post I read no matter the section. I check everyones trust out before I buy, sell. or trade. I've always done this and will continue to. I suggest that everyone else does and make a decision based on their own accord, not someone elses.

But I just woke up, I'm late for work as it is, I'll write a more in depth post later this evening.
