Its your fault idiot,

If you get hacked , its 100percent your fault, you don't deserve your account back.

I'm glad your account got hacked, you shouldn't be advertising your scam shitcoin on this forum.
I am not anonymous like most in here because I've done nothing wrong and scammed no-one. Those of you who like digging, go out there and find one scam accusation against me or the project.

I'm here to try and make a difference. I actually have some belief in crypto.  Shocked

How many of you can say the same? Why not just head over to your favourite ICO site and find the next crappy investment to lose your money in.

My shitcoin project will be here long after your fomo ICOs have flattened your fiat bank account.

Still going strong since 2015. Eat my shorts.

ohho..calm down mate. You seems to be at the mount ETNA now. Were you scammed by the shitcoin created by OP? I have doubt that his account was really hacked or not, i have same person on IRC and he still comes online but never complained about here.
Please explain. Do you know me? Because I don't think I know you.

Community support shouldn't be too much to ask for from our mods.
I'd like my hacked account back. It means a lot to me.

MY IDENTITY AND OWNERSHIP OF THE ACCOUNT HAS BEEN VERIFIED. IT JUST NEEDS UNLOCKING. IT IS THE FINAL STEP.

I don't understand why they aren't giving their only just 1 hour to recover accounts. They are posting the tutorial to take it back but they dont care about it. If you don't think to look PM's i want to ask that why you're posting tutorials? You dont have time? Make automatic system to verify identify and from signed messages and only confirm last steps. (or just dont post tutorials maybe)

My account got hacked too, all i want is restoring my e-mail address. Seems like it wont happen but maybe admins will make us happy with restoring our accounts.

seems people here are living in some kind of a fantasy about working forum and functioning admins, let me be the bearer of bad news. I lost my account as well. sadly you  should forget about your old account and focus on this one. thats the harsh truth. do not waste your time on trying to recover as this is (as you correcty guessed) a waste of time

My proof ?

99.9 % of my post was in french
At the date of the hack 100% of post was in turkish  Shocked

but they dont care after 3 month i know i will never recover my acount

I have so generally most of the messages from the forum have been deleted, there is one left in private messages and one in the Russian forum, all! others deleted
Wow, that's terrible. Cyrus was kind enough to lock mine so that it cannot be used for any scamming. But I've not heard from him since. I have to keep faith that it will one day be returned to me. I remember when I became a hero member. I was so happy. I can't describe how I felt when I became Legendary.

I can't give it up. My registered company is even call Tribe Systems

I will write every day requests for unblocking, let them delete my posts on the forum, I will write agane

Don't do it, they'll just put you on the ignore list.
Wait a week before sending a new PM.
thanks for the advice, feel me waiting for the same fate to wait a couple of months. my account is in read mode, for the spread of malware that the hacker did. The question can anyone knows - this account is unlocked or it can already be buried?

Send one PM to Cyrus. If he doesn´t reply after 2 weeks send a PM to theymos.

If I'm already on the ignore list then I guess I'm just pissing in the wind

Make sure to send it in proper format.
If you send a generic PM, something along the lines

"I was hacked, why aren't you answering me??"
You'll just get ignored.

Start with your signed messege and write which PM the address is mentioned in, in this format
Code:
-----BEGIN BITCOIN SIGNED MESSAGE-----
My account has been hacked/lost. Please reset the email to . The current date is .
-----BEGIN SIGNATURE-----


-----END BITCOIN SIGNED MESSAGE-----

Here is the unedited post where I posted that address: ...

I sent that address to someone in a PM with PM ID#...
Add the tweet and the post where the twitter account is mentioned below.
PM theymos, if no response in a week, PM Cyrus.
I was in the same situation you are in when my account was hacked, don't spam them too much.
It's important to keep the right format, since they skip a lot of requests.

Thanks for the advice. I'll make sure I follow it to the letter.

Can anybody offer any reasoning behind my hacked account not being reinstated?
they are now not up to us, then the new rules came into force, they are actively engaged in them, and all who are blocked go to the forest for mushrooms, even though it's winter on the street

LOL. I want some of those mushrooms.
as soon as unlock an account I will share mushrooms, so far there is nothing to share

you at least can sign your message, but I can not have my wallet on the site, not the local one. I just look at how many messages there are, and I do not think that we will get to the queue at all.
of all personal messages sent to them, only the super moderator and one legendary person answered me.
how long it will be before they unlock us - a year or two, now they obviously have no time to do it

if the legendary account can not unlock the administrators of this resource, what can I say about me https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/hacked-my-account-2801464
I think that all these requests are empty and useless, you can take a tambourine dance around the bonfire dance call, you can arrange a striptease - this will not change anything, local moderators can block, and no one can unblock. You can say goodbye to our accounts, I'm very upset that you put effort, and the admin simply ignores you, it's probably the only resource in which managers do not care, you can sacrifice the forum and still it will be in vain, as the super moderator said - start everything from the very beginning.


Sorry to hear that. It's very painful for me as well after so many years of hard work to just say it is gone just like that. I have made sure I am within the law on BCT. I have not dirtied my username with bad posts or scams or anything. I was taking abuse for years for attempting to offer a service. After years, now people can see that I have integrity and do believe in the project I started.

And then this.

I feel like throwing everything away but I just can't as there is actually a community beyond this forum. This forum was the start of everything. For years I have worked hard to raise the awareness of my target audience and it is finally starting to come together, and now this. A scammer/hacker can just bring everything down.

I don't think about it too much or I would lose my mind. The kobo community believe it would be easy to get my account back. The original OP can now never be updated unless the devs can take some mercy on me.

It's too much.

Anyways, at least I've had my say and everyone can now see the truth.

But I cant give up, even if this account is banned for trying to retrieve what is actually mine.
the sending of private messages to the administrator is ignored, and no one can unlock it, but many can block it, so they are fighting with spam, if suddenly all the same it will get through to the administration and you or I will be unblocked let me know. I will write every day requests for unblocking, let them delete my posts on the forum, I will write agane

No. I did get replies from Cyrus and mprep. We were having conversation about it and then suddenly nothing. Cyrus blocked the account to stop any scam attempt by the hacker and asked me to show connection to the address above which I did. He said he would investigate it and then I never heard back. And from that time there have been no responses. That was Nov 20, 2017.

Maybe they will read the proof here and finish the investigation. One can only hope.

Under "Information" it clearly states:

Dev : Felix Ugoji : https://uk.linkedin.com/in/fugoji/ : https://twitter.com/fugoji
Tweeting from @fugoji mentioning this thread or "The_Tribesman" would prove it as far as I'm concerned, not sure if it would be enough to get your account back though.
Or you can DM me to @EcuaMobi and I'll tag the account at least.
Thanks so much for your time. As requested:

You don't have to get so aggressive. Whatever PM it is, I can't see it. I know that those addresses are connected through an output transaction.
If you had a screenshot of the PM then it would make sense but I don't have the administrative powers to go into your account
That, my friend, is why I am requesting you to create a page on your site (or just add something in the code, a useless comment that says "TheTribesman" or some shit).

So what do you think of the extra images I've provided? The PM is right there. All my PM notifications are in my email. I can provide them if required.

No matter how deep anyone delves they will always see that TheTribesman account was hacked and stolen from me.

Check the OP of KOBO thread - https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/kobo-kobocoin-an-african-peer-to-peer-paymentmicropayment-system-920290

Under "Information" it clearly states:

Dev : Felix Ugoji : https://uk.linkedin.com/in/fugoji/ : https://twitter.com/fugoji

Should I post a selfie with my passport, the date and a BitcoinTalk reference on a piece of paper to prove that I am that person?[/b]

I don't think this about whether or not the account is mine. I personally believe that everyone involved (and everyone reading this thread) knows the account is mine.

It's about something else. Maybe it's just about my attitude. Maybe I'm just not a likeable person. Maybe, as you said, I've been too aggressive. Maybe I should be more subservient and just get on my knees and beg. Maybe it's because people see KOBO as a "shitcoin" so I'm not deserving of anything. Maybe people want to show me that even though I may be in the right that it still doesn't mean that my hacked account will be returned to me. Maybe there's a feeling that if anyone steps outside of what's been defined (and actually helps me out here) that there will be a flood of requests and a new precedent will have been set. I just don't know.

I don't know what that something else is, but I do know that everyone involved (and everyone reading this thread) most definitely now knows that this hacked account was stolen from me.

If anyone does not believe that this account was stolen from me, and that I'm trying to hijack an account that has nothing to do with me, then please state it.

I can take it.

Please forgive me for being so aggressive about it but I've been completely and utterly ignored since November 20th, 2017. I'm at my wits end.

I have taken 2 screenshots of the email notification I received which shows the actual PM with that address listed. As you will see from the screenshots below, the address is clearly visible.

- This is the top of the PM notification
- This is the bottom of the PM notification
- This is a lot of the PM notifications in a list with the message from GrinZ highlighted. You will even see TheTribesman name on 17/09/2015

I hope you don't mind that I've blanked out my personal gmail categories. I'm even upset that I've had to screenshot my gmail but if that's what it takes, then that's what it takes. I will do what it takes.

The address is clearly visible. GrinZ message to me is clearly visible. I have all my PM notifications if you need to see any of them.

Please, let me just say that I really do appreciate the time you are taking to at least acknowledge me.

Can you just make some page on your kobocoin site stating that "The_Tribesman" controls the TheTribesman account?

There's not sufficient evidence here because we have no linkage between the addresses (I would prefer visible indication showing CMC requesting payment to the address).

This is exactly what I don't get. You say there is NO LINKAGE BETWEEN THE ADDRESSES. So how is the image below explained?.



Date = 24th January, 2016
Receiving Address = 1Hfgbi7TsgZvi9Jn86c8ZkE3MQ4fmdHWz1
Sending Address = 1MUph4u92DJ2d1YfxPvyZKNAL6avaDnDju


Address I must prove a link to = 1Hfgbi7TsgZvi9Jn86c8ZkE3MQ4fmdHWz1
Request to recover hacked account is signed by 1MUph4u92DJ2d1YfxPvyZKNAL6avaDnDju

It's there in the image, it's there on the blockchain. This is visible proof, isn't it?? Can an admin PLEASE explain to me why the link between those addresses shown in the image above and which is also available for EVERYONE WHO CHECKS THE EXPLORER AT THE FOLLOWING LINK is so completely unacceptable (because I'm at a loss for an explanation):

https://blockchain.info/address/1Hfgbi7TsgZvi9Jn86c8ZkE3MQ4fmdHWz1

Can an admin please explain to me why blockchain evidence is NOT GOOD ENOUGH??
I have proved the link between the addresses
I have signed the message using the sending address

Please... What is problem here?? Can someone please explain to an idiot like me what is going on.

Because so far all that is happening is:

1. I am being asked for proof
2. Proof is provided
3. Proof is seen by the individual I provide it to
4. Everything goes quiet (it is not refuted, the admin just goes quiet)

Is this because admins have no answer to my proof but must stand strong no matter what?
Why not call me out on it?

This is now on the public board, so go for it admins. Tell me I'm a liar. Prove it to everyone reading this that I should not get my hacked account back.

Refute the link between the addresses. The link is available to all. Isn't this the power of blockchain??

Prove there is no link between those addresses and I promise I will go away. The bitcoin block explorer is available to all. Prove me wrong...

Can I suggest that when the initial welcome email is sent out to prospective users that people are advised to post a BTC address somewhere on the site so that they have undisputable proof of ownership. I'm not suggesting adding an extra link in the email (to confuse people), just a word of advice.

The staking thread is good:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/stake-your-bitcoin-address-here-996318

It could even be made sticky just for this purpose.

Can you just make some page on your kobocoin site stating that "The_Tribesman" controls the TheTribesman account?

There's not sufficient evidence here because we have no linkage between the addresses (I would prefer visible indication showing CMC requesting payment to the address).
In the PM in question, user GrinZ is requesting payment from me to that address to pay for the explorer. I've proved that I can sign messages from the account sending BTC to that address. The payment was made long before the account was hacked.

Maybe I'm just not understanding but please tell me why that is not viable proof. CMC don't provide explorers. And why would CMC request payment from me in the first place? I understand that you may be saying that because of their reputation.

I've been through my email notifications and that BTC address is one of the few times that payment was requested.

Chainz is a reputable block explorer provider - https://chainz.cryptoid.info/kobo/ and used by many. I don't see why that doesn't count. A BTC address is a BTC address. It's there in my PMs and I can prove that I send BTC to it with signed messages.

Is there some belief that I want to steal this account and that it doesn't belong to me???

Thanks for your reply. I really appreciate it.

I was asked if I owned the 1Hfgbi7TsgZvi9Jn86c8ZkE3MQ4fmdHWz1 address.

It's the address used to fund the KOBO explorer that's used on CoinMarketCap.

I don't own it but I have proved (OP above) that I can sign a message from the address paying for that explorer. But that's not good enough? Really??? I should now update the Kobocoin website?

I am not able to update the OP of the main thread. What happens to that? Start from scratch because I've been hacked? Really?? Years of working hard just thrown in the bin. And for what?  

This is me on github - https://github.com/kobocoin

I'm sure EVERYONE involved in this issue (or anyone reading my pleadings and proof) KNOWS that the account belongs to me.

I don't get it. It's not even a possibility that the account belongs to the hacker. Has the hacker been asking for the account to be returned to them? What proof has been asked of the hacker? What proof have they provided?

Really, it's a travesty. There has to be some level of discretion in this. This is pure injustice. And now I've had to bring my pleadings out into the public arena and make a fool of myself because my account means something to me. Don't get me wrong. I absolutely understand the reason for making recovering a hacked account as robust as possible because of the behaviour of some people in this industry, but there really has to be some discretion involved.

If I couldn't produce ANY proof at all, please believe that I would have let it go and accepted the consequences, but in this case I have produced viable proof.

I'm serious. People can't be treated like this. It's unsustainable.

People hack your site and steal multiple passwords and then start hacking accounts. Rather than make amends, you make the victims feel like criminals disturbing your life.

Only in crypto.

Anyways, the time is coming when crypto service providers will no longer be able to get away with this type of behaviour, if they want to prosper!

Just watch

My legendary account was hacked in October.
TheTribesman - https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/thetribesman-168257

I have provided 'a level of proof' but the admins have not yet returned my account to me. Like most people, when I was a newbie I took the advice not to trust anyone and didn't post any BTC addresses. I guess that's my downfall.

I've read other hacked account threads where it's stated that if you have not posted a BTC address anywhere that there will be issues recovering your account and anyone asking for help is wasting their time. If I get my account back I will post a BTC address here:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/stake-your-bitcoin-address-here-996318

I suggest everyone else do the same just in case you too get hacked.

Here's my proof. Please tell me if it's good enough 'for consideration', or maybe it's not (and I'm fooling myself thinking it is)

1. I am the dev of kobocoin - https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/kobo-kobocoin-an-african-peer-to-peer-paymentmicropayment-system-920290
2. I have paid for the KOBO block explorer which is linked from CoinMarketCap - https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/kobocoin/
3. This is the BTC payment address for the kobocoin explorer in use by CoinMarketCap - 1Hfgbi7TsgZvi9Jn86c8ZkE3MQ4fmdHWz1
4. The admins know of this address because it is used in my PM. I was asked to provide proof using that address.
5. This is the address on BTC explorer - https://blockchain.info/address/1Hfgbi7TsgZvi9Jn86c8ZkE3MQ4fmdHWz1
6. Look at 0.01 BTC payment on 2016-01-24 09:56:43
7. It came from address 1MUph4u92DJ2d1YfxPvyZKNAL6avaDnDju
8. The required signed message for that address was provided. It came from an address I own. It was the second payment for the explorer in use today.
9. Signed message below

Code:
-----BEGIN BITCOIN SIGNED MESSAGE-----
My account TheTribesman has been hacked/lost. Please reset the email to [email protected]. The current date is 16th October, 2017.

-----END BITCOIN SIGNED MESSAGE-----

I'm at a bit of a loss because I haven't published a BTC address on BCT but I have proof that I sent payment for the KOBO block explorer
and the proof can be found in a PM from user GrinZ who built a block explorer for KOBO.

PM = https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=pm;sa=send;f=inbox;pmsg=XXX;quote;u=XXX

As you will see from the PM he sent me, Grinz account address for KOBO block explorer is 1Hfgbi7TsgZvi9Jn86c8ZkE3MQ4fmdHWz1

If you check address 1Hfgbi7TsgZvi9Jn86c8ZkE3MQ4fmdHWz1 in a BTC explorer
you will see that the payment of 0.01BTC sent 24th January, 2016
(after I heard back from GrinZ confirming the address to send the payment) is from address 1MUph4u92DJ2d1YfxPvyZKNAL6avaDnDju
which I used to sign the message above.

The previous payment of 0.01 BTC was sent from one of my exchange accounts and the TxID is
52e43bbb5e36cb269fe2d117dc709925100517c368c48f985cb876e61541f788.

This TxID is shown in the PM. Unfortunately because it was sent from an exchange account I can't sign with it
which would be more conclusive, but you will see that the second payment to address 1Hfgbi7TsgZvi9Jn86c8ZkE3MQ4fmdHWz1
for the block explorer was sent from my address (1MUph4u92DJ2d1YfxPvyZKNAL6avaDnDju) which is used to sign the message above.

I hope this is OK. I have never hidden my identity. The whole KOBO community knows who I am
(it is in the OP) and I can supply my passport image if necessary.

But I'm being made to feel like a pariah by the BCT site admins because I need my account back. I'm sure many have been through it. Completely ignored.

I can now no longer update the OP of the coin I'm a dev for.

Hoping for a resolution.
