Topic: GASTY4 APPEAL - page 2. (Read 1041 times)

I asked that in post #3

Depositing a large amount of Bitcoin into the address could make ownership plausible, but I don't think Cryptios would accept it.

Let's notify and ask the experts: alanst, 3dOOm, Rizzrack

he signed a message from this address BTC address bc1qer09xsqpn0gsxf9dqyt7zrkccd8lmy4h6smnuu in the past on the OGnasty thread, can he sign a message from the same address and present it as evidence?

Sounds more like what happened, in my opinion. But even that is a hack too. Once someone's password gets changed, it's a hack; whether whoever that did it is close to the victim or not, whether the victim earlier used the criminal's device or not. That's the way I see a hack. Why would anyone change anybody's password if the intention isn't to deny them access to it eventually?

I hope the so many users here who haven't staked their addresses will see a reason in what OP is passing through to warrant them taking necessary action to do that now.

I believe it's a bad idea to directly use exchange addresses. For me, it's better to use a private wallet and then transfer to the exchange whenever one wants. After all, it costs just cents as transaction fees this day.

In such instance, retrieving the account is nearly impossible because there is no staked address, the BTC address associated with the account is from exchange, making it impossible to sign messages, email access has been lost, and there is no other method to prove ownership?

I'm of the opinion the account was hacked, Visit his trust page it says the password was reset and not changed. Assuming the password was changed it'll indicate that clearly. As I was writing this I visited the BPIP page and it's clearer that the hacker change his password through the email as it's indicated there. I remember the OP saying clearly he lost access to his email and didn't bother recovery it.

Also OP check clearly if you used the correct email to register your account because since there's no confirmation from the forum to verify email, you might have used a wrong email and it'll still go through. Now if someone would have created an email that matches that on your profile then they can rest your password. Although I'm still trying to understand why your account is been the target here, you haven't established yourself to become a target on the forum.

After thread was created, the alleged hacker abruptly went offline, I may sound like an old school boy. But I believe Op logged in and saved his password on someone's device, and that person exploited it; the account was taken from him, not hacked as the OP claimed; it may be someone close to him. Starting a new one isn't a horrible idea, TBH

Was there really a hacker? Or is it the owner's fault?

He only has 32 merits, it's not such a big loss, so as not to try to start all over again. Moreover, his account was not blocked, and he did not take any actions at the time to protect himself in case of losing his account. What conclusions can be drawn? He is to blame.
Buddy, don't think I'm against restoring your account. Just learn to be more responsible. I am writing the third post with a call to just start over.
Today, receiving the merits that you received earlier can be much faster, because you already have some experience.
You just need to be able to fall and rise with a proud head.

It's been a silence on the GASTY4  appeal thread. Gaasty8 was online till yesterday but did not told any update on the progress. I wonder if he has given up on the recovery of his account.

Gasty4 did not come online after february 04. Don't know what that hacker is doing after getting hold of the account 

The matter is getting contradictory due to series of people making suggestion about this missing account, the response from community users via the account show's that he can't recover the account, op, has provide information of his account according to his capability or understanding, the only thing i noticed via all these, is that op will backslide towards the information he obtain through the issue, i know only obstacle that is holding the account for discovery team to look into is signings of message with the wallet seed phrase

Yes, even IPs and locations do change while logged in from the same device. I don't know what causes that, anyway. It's a pity what seemed an easy to resolve issue is proving herculean by each passing day. I believe all that would've been put to rest if OP had copied out the seedprahse from his staked wallet on the forum. Little thing, right? But it's now a big deal. Like they say, we truly don't know the value of a possessed goods until it's stolen. That's the situation with what OP is passing through now. I just hope he finds light at the end of the (this) tunnel.

From the evidence presented now, I would say that OP has no chance to recover his account. But that's just my opinion. What does he have to lose if he tries? He has already lost his account. Worst case scenario, the account remains lost. But if he is lucky and the recovery team decides to accept the video as proof, good for him.

It's certainly not a standard way to go about recovering your account. But proving he has access to the exchange coupled with IP logs, improves his chances slightly. But not even the same IP can be seen as proof in all situations.

Well, at that moment from his posting, it seems that he has learned a lot about securing the wallets but doesn't know what happened afterwards that he forgets everything and didn't implement it on himself.

Perhaps, he will get lot of lessons from this bad experience and will be very careful not only with his private keys but also with his email and everything related to passwords.

"Inspect Element" in Chrome is very easy.

That's up to Cryptios. I've seen a case in which they weren't convinced by the "owner", and preferred to keep the account locked.

Even images are not easy to be faked. At least i don't have the skill to make a good fake image.
Lets suppose if OP is able to present the video of logging in to Remitano wallet ? Will this be accepted by the mods ? Everyone is sharing their own advices, i will be more interested to know what exactly mods need is such a situation and how the forum admins resolves such a case or it remains unhandled forever because of not enough evidences.

As hosseinimr93 mentioned, those first couple of pictures don't prove anything. You took a screenshot of a public spreadsheet and a blockchain explorer entry. Anyone could have done that with any address from any signature campaign on the forum.

Remember that I asked you to make a video of you logging in to that Remitano wallet? Videos can't be faked, or you need enough knowledge and experience to do it. Images can be faked. As long as that remains a possibility, I don't think your wallet screenshot will be enough to convince the recovery team. A video might not be enough either, but it's better than a picture. So, do you have a way to record yourself logging in (without showing your password) and going to that screen that shows your deposit address? You can log in on a computer and record yourself from a phone or use a second phone to record what you are doing on the first one. 

It is quite unfortunate that OP situation is becoming worse at every attempt to redeem it. This is a lesson to many of us though.
I think the OP can send all his available evidence, including short video clips to the recovery team. He can be lucky and his account would be recovered.

I have clicked on the link dropped by Gasty4  it seems that any one can get the payment details from blockchain because it's open, but the one that convince me mostly that Gasty4 is the owner of the account from my perspective, is the link that redirect from here to remitano wallet directly, i believe no one can go directly to remitano without having the login details of remitano, the wallet display there and is very clear to show that the wallet details belongs to the user, so from other links he drops someone can manipulate that, it's only the remitano one i found authentic and worthy.

This proves that 3Px9yxkNqTZYmqJnxn7nuAnoajhWa4MwBK belongs to Gasty4. But the problem is that there is no proof that you are the owner of Gasty4 account.  


All bitcoin transactions are public and everyone is able to take this image from blockchain.


I don't think the recovery team accept this as a proof of your ownership over Gasty4 account.
Images can be edited easily. Note that I'm not saying you have edited the image.

I'm unable to post images with this appeal account Gasty8 because of I'm newbie with this account, but I have to drop links that shows and categorise evidence that I'm the rightful owner of Gasty4.

(1) Starting from the campaign I was participating before my account got hacked. This link https://ibb.co/4pHKwsh attest that the wallet in WINZ.io spreadsheet belongs to me Gasty4.

(2) Secondly, I have to indicate were my wallet address is attached for payment from the Blockchain which I received payment, please access this link: https://ibb.co/6bBwgfH
and I know it will be good for I to provide the link of the Blockchain direct from the website....link: https://www.blockchain.com/btc/tx/22cf48215147fa284ad3839471b63edb2fb10eaad6c5ab7fe083d74d0a9e3beb

(3) This is to show everyone my wallet ID [ https://ibb.co/m5xsVbb ] direct from the source being Remitano exchange of cryptocurrency, I used Remitano because it's possible and easier for me to exchange my Bitcoin to fiat currency.

(4) The email has been invalid like I said before, although I have been trying if I can get it back, but seems almost impossible for me to get. Also I switched cell phone, that's not even the case, like I failed to link my cellphone number to the invalid email. ​

(5) conclusion:  I need your support and directions towards recovery of my account from the recovery team since I can't sign a message which is necessary because I used Remitano wallet and it doesn't not have pass phrase, but if their is any source I can bypass pass phrase to sign message with this Remitano wallet someone should not hesitate to inform me or direct me properly.

I think with all this informations and details of my wallets provided above, I hope it's sincerely show's that I'm the rightful owner of the account.

Thanks for you contributions, hoping to hear good description.

OP has already shared the screenshot of his deposits history page.
Since images can be easily edited, it doesn't prove anything.


Remitano is a custodial wallet and I don't think they process withdrawals from the address the user has deposited to.
So, even if OP makes a withdrawal, it can't prove anything.
