Firstly, someone noted that your password was reset via an email, and you haven't told us if your email was hacked aswell, or you share email with someone or you used an invalid email upon signing up to Bitcointalk.

He said that he no longer has access to his email and lost it some time ago claiming it is invalid. Whether or not that means that his old password no longer works or he never used a real email address, makes very little difference right now. He surely didn't add a recovery email or a phone number to be able to reset the password in that way.

...the problem is that I have no access to my email for sometime now, it's been invalid.

Goodnight, o_e_l_e_o 🌹

It's a pity OP. I have seen that many people have tried to help you recover your account including LoyceV. But it will not work out if you do not sincerely wish to help yourself.

Upon checking your account here https://bpip.org/Profile?id=3391969, the password was changed via email, so does it mean that your email address was hacked too?

Secondly, you mentioned that you signed a message from coinomy wallet. Is it possible that you didn't write down the seed phrases, if yes, your chances are getting slimmer.

Lastly, since you have joined campaign with the said account, can you get the address public on the winz campaign, then login into your remitano wallet, go to your transaction history and show us that both addresses corresponds. You can do that by directing it to blockchain explorer. Better, you can do some transactions with it today to show that you own the remitano account.
I wish this can sincerely help.

If you say that experience is the best teacher, then the OP must draw the right conclusions. No wonder, I asked a question that the OP carefully ignored. He created a topic in which everything was thoroughly chewed to him.

What I meant with that by inference is if something happened to one it would be very hard for one to forget such incident as one must've learnt a lesson or two from that. For instance example, everything ceases whenever I'm installing a wallet or any other thing that demands something being copied out that can grant one access. By extension, if OP resolves this issue it will be very unlikely of him to repeat the mistake. On the "neglecting your question thing", it could be an oversight. I'm sure OP wouldn't do that on purpose. You can say I'm playing the devil's advocate here but that's the way I see it.

Merits?

Nah, I don't think this will be it. Who seeks merits for a throwaway account? Aren't appeal accounts throwaway accounts? I later checked OP's main account from the link you sent there and discovered I had even merited him in the past. Sad. I do hope he gets back his account so he can continue posting.

Quote

The OP lost access to the account himself, could it also be a probable cause of an incorrect attempt to change the password, which the OP is embarrassed to say? It's always easier to blame others.

I sincerely hope that's the case. Again, no one is above mistake and there's nothing to be ashamed of if that's the case. It happens to the best of us.

Why didn't he heed all the advice he was given at the time? Why create a topic and not listen to the answers? Merits?

OP, your account is not banned. And, that is, you still have an attempt to create an account from scratch, given your previous mistakes. Because of your own mistake, you will learn from this rather than being sophisticated and begging for restoration.

He never expected something like this to happen, that it could be used to recover hacked account. Maybe that was why he felt reluctant of copying the seed phrase for the future.

Honestly, we never can know when little things we neglect get back to bite us. Like they say, "Experience is the best teacher." I nearly was caught in a similar situation with a Trust wallet I misplaced its seed phrase. I ran berserk for weeks, and then eventually decided to let it go because it became obvious I couldn't access it again. It was after several months that I had forgotten about the whole incident that I stumbled on where I wrote it down. My excitement on the day knew no bounds. It was then the importance of that seed phrase dawned on me and I remembered veteran members here hammering on that. I hope OP, and several other newbies here learn from this experience and become better with the security of their wallets. No one should wait until it happens to them. Learning from others' mistakes can also be a part of learning experience.

God is great

I feel the reason why OP didn't copy his seed phrase, he never knew the importance of signing a message, maybe he thinks signing a message was for formality or fun for newbies in getting it right. He never expected something like this to happen, that it could be used to recover hacked account. Maybe that was why he felt reluctant of copying the seed phrase for the future.

What OP tendered was a wallet address from an exchange for the campaign he last had, unfortunately he can't sign a message from that. It's not primarily because he's a novice at signing a message. He once signed one but that was on a device that later went bad and he didn't get out his seed phrase. If he had the seed phrase that would've been an easy thing to import to another device and then sign a message from the wallet.

In that case, I guess the only thing he can do is try to prove he owns and has access to the platform that generated the Bitcoin address that he used in the WINZ.io signature campaign. I am not familiar with a case where such evidence was accepted during an account recovery. But it's still better than doing nothing. The recovery team will surely not act based on no proof at all.

The question is, is OP comfortable with making a video that shows him logging in to the exchange to display the receiving address and hoping that the admins will turn a blind eye to everything else that is missing!?

I'm sure I've come across OP's posts and he's a Nigerian.

The quality of the mobile phone doesn't have anything to do with it. It doesn't matter if you create a Coinomi wallet on a phone, PC, old or new device.

I don't think that he said that quality of a mobile phone has anything to do with his issue. He simply wanted to say that he replaced bad/old mobile phone with a new one while not having seed phrase from the old phone's Coinomi wallet, so now he can't access it anymore. Classic newbie mistake, that he probably won't make again.

The quality of the mobile phone doesn't have anything to do with it. It doesn't matter if you create a Coinomi wallet on a phone, PC, old or new device. During the creation process, you are presented with a 24-word recovery phrase that you are supposed to write down on a piece of paper somewhere. That's your recovery method in case something goes wrong with your device. What happened to the seed of your Coinomi wallet? Where did you store/write it down?

Alternatively, if that does not work, try resetting password using secret question as that would automatically lock the account and prevent the hacker from causing any more damage.

What happens if you don't have a secret question on your account? We don't know whether OP has it turned on or not, thus the two options are to sign a message from his old address or send the original email to the account recovery team

I see that op is a beginner and is finding it very rigid to understand exactly what's signing of message is all about because since he should have done that by now, and if op can't sign message that means it will be very difficult to resolve the matter, but i think from my options B, op can equally provide evidence or prove by rendering the transaction receipt from the immediate signature campaign payment with the link, at least such can indicates that it's rightful owner of the account since is novice to sign a message, I don't know what will be your prospection.

The OP seems to be in very awkward situation because he has nothing with him to proof that he owns the account. Also another thing which is surprising is that the hacker who hacked the GASTY4 account, didn't login again after Feb 04. I wonder when he will login and what will be his response on this.

AFAIK, it only locks the account if the secret question option is active and the one put in is correct. This was not suggested as a means to recover the account, but rather to lock it in order to prevent any damage to the account.

Both might be necessary in some situations to prove ownership, but based on the admin's discretion, just an email from the original account can suffice.

I don't wanna talk loads, but I can sure do this to show I'm the sole owner of the account.

Do it You have nothing to lose but you have an account to gain if the recovery team or admins accept it as valid proof. Just be careful that you don't leak any private and identifiable information about yourself in that video. I would advice you have a close family member, friend, or relative take a look before you post a link or upload the video somewhere. Or if there is someone you really trust on this forum, you could ask that person for the same kind of people. 4 eyes are better than 2. Maybe someone sees something in the video that shouldn't be there.

You didn't answer LoyceV's question about your Coinomi wallet. What's the status of it and can you still recover it from seed?

Thankful for the guidance here once more Sir.

True, but I was thinking more of someone getting infected with a dangerous malware and/or a keylogger that causes them to lose their passwords and having login data altered. A keylogger that records their keystrokes as they log in to their wallets, which could potentially give the attacker access to private keys.

He then got an opportunity to join a campaign and did with Remitano address because they have a peer2peer service and can easily trade his Bitcoin to Naira.

I assume Remitano is some local exchange. I also assume there is an application post or a proof of authentification post of some sort for the campaign he applied to, right? A post or entry in a spreadsheet where an unedited Bitcoin address is visible.

The recovery team might not accept this as proof, but who knows. He could record himself logging in to his Remitano account (obviously the video shouldn't show him entering his password), and showing that said account has his Bitcoin signature campaign address as a deposit address. That would prove that the person who created this thread and applied to that signature campaign you mentioned, controls the account of the service provider where that address was used as a deposit address.

Bless you Sir!! I'm speechless, I don't wanna talk loads, but I can sure do this to show I'm the sole owner of the account.

No Sir, I made use of Coinomi Wallet.

Do you still have access to the device you used for creating the wallet on Coinomi? If you have access to that device and you haven't deleted the wallet, you should be able to sign a message again.
Note that you don't need to import the private key if you still have the wallet in your device.
