Topic: How to Change Bitcointalk Account Email and Password? (Read 345 times)

Sharks and dolphins cannot survive in lakes, you dumbass! Stop torturing the poor animals and let them live free in their natural habitat.

Many readers didn't understand, is it Op that isn't reading the discussion that will understand?
Op, has solved a problem, needless of following the conversation again.

I see, this topic is exactly the answer being sought for in the topic you quoted. Now a member asked the question, and a Jr member answered the question in another thread. That's how interesting bitcointalk could be.


I could be unlucky someday and meet someone in a messy mood. Well, I'll still be safe because I live in a lake, before anyone could meet me, they'll have to kill 4 sharks and 3 dolphins.

Everyone reduced the "hardest" work of the OP to sarcasm. Nevertheless, this topic is relevant if you look at the issues that concern one of our colleagues today.

But I had fun with your argument. Although if you read the posts of KingsDen, he often uses a similar style, and everyone is free to accept it according to their mood.

As far as I’m aware of, BTC and PGP signatures are what are officially considered to facilitate account recovery. There is no explicit mention of a staked ETH address or such.

Nevertheless, there are some cases that do reference an ETH address being used as part of the proof of account ownership process, such as is described on this thread. This other rather older case only have a related ETH address (before a password change) and eventually seemed to get his account back, although it doesn’t detail if the ETH address was eventually the key to the account recovery, but this one didn’t succeed.

My guess is that it may (not will) be considered in addition to the context of the claim made by the person trying to get his account back, but that it is not what one should be using as part of the proof set. Having a BTC or PGP signed message that meets the requirements seems like the obvious choice, thus avoiding depending on alternative signed address types that seemingly may or may not be considered (I figure based on context, will, circumnstances and such).

No, it's not applicable at all but if you want to use eth in doing transactions for payment like when you have a service of your own then why not sign a message as well. What I mean is using the eth address the same as sending payments to campaign participants which is to prove that you have access to the wallet. For back up purposes, you can stake two btc addresses and use one of it until you use it if there's an incident to lose access of btc wallet, eth is no problem I think since you also stake the said wallet as well. The problem is, I don't see any thread the same as Bitcoin but I think it's okay including it in signing a message with your btc address.

Oh I see. Maybe thats the only thing to prove ownership.  Hence we can also stake eth message is that also applicable aside from bitcoin sign message? As back up in any case of incident to loss access to your btc wallet or been compromise as well?

Okay, later we are gonna have a nice little lesson on decoding sarcasm. I may even drop a tutorial with pictures (resized) especially for you.

Wait, for a second, I thought this was a joke,  but then, reading again,  you seems serious,  a senior member rank who doesn't know how to upload, resize or align images on this forum is absolutely unbelievable~I thought~  .
I needed to be sure you were not serious,  I had to visit your profile and go through your post history,  I discovered actually that this was an irony.. Indeed, you got me there, and I doubt if OP even understood what you mean.

PowerGlove, you have already solved my problem before deciding to decide. Now I can be able to upload an image of smaller width. Don't mind me, I was learning to be sarcastic,  now Poker Player has taught me

I didn't know you were being sarcastic, now I met my doctor and he confirmed I have dementia, I'm confused what to do next.


If this happens, there is just 5% chance that there is no compromise somewhere and somehow.

I'll beat op to make that thread and then share it to you so you can change the size of the images that you wanted to post. If I don't hurry then op could beat me to it.

Staked Bitcoin address is what will be used to prove ownership of the said account and if you edited your staked bitcoin address with another staked bitcoin address but you also proved that you have access/verified that you own the previous stake bitcoin address then yes it is possible to edit it or add both of it.

Thanks for sharing, stuff like that happens to the best of us!

I had something (vaguely) similar recently, where I set up a fresh machine and then left it alone for a week or two. When I booted it up again, it wouldn't accept the password I had configured. I kept trying different variations and was getting pretty confused. I even had to suffer the indignity of being told to "be more careful next time" and could only grimace and nod my head.

Then, somehow, trying the password I had already tried 10 times before actually worked! Once it booted, I started typing the password into a text editor on a hunch and discovered that the keyboard was (intermittently) dropping keys which allowed me to redeem myself in the eyes of Mr. BeMoreCareful and improved my mood greatly.

Changing one’s email and or password, whilst relatively trivial from the perspective of what one needs to do on the forum’s software, might be viewed from a wider angle in terms of account security. As such, at the time, and after a quick re-read now, I found the following thread to be worth a whip through: [Guide] Bitcointalk account security. It does lack images though, what can I say …


Now here’s an unbecoming anecdote on the matter:

I currently don’t memorize my password, since I rely on a password manager to keep track of that. I’m also logged-in for the most on the device I use to access the forum, so I don’t often resort to using the password. Now to test if my password was in order, I tried to log in on a different browser, and lo and behold, the password I had in my password manager was being rejected as invalid. After trying a couple of times getting the same result (insanity cropping-up), I resorted to changing the password.

The change of password in the said scenario cannot be done within the forum (on my logged-in session) since I/my password manager had "forgotten" my current password (which is required to complete the procedure). I therefore resorted to changing it by clicking the "forgot your password" on the login page (of my other browser). From there on, easy peasy: I received an email with a link to follow in order to change my password, and went through with it.

I can only guess that I didn’t actually save my last password change on my password manager, and had actually my previously one stored there. Seems weird, and also somewhat distant in time, but it would be a plausible explanation.

On most cases, and as far as I know, when you change an email, it should send a verification code to the email which is currently being used. I never changed my email here so I can't tell it they have this security here, but I do think that that bitcointalk developers has added this security measure.
And for the staked address, I do not think that you should edit it. Maybe sign a signature message there and add your new bitcoin address if you want. Afterwards, it is necessary to sign a message using that new address.

There is no need to take it seriously. You see, I was also being sarcastic. Of course, I do not think he truly suffers from dementia. 

Poker Player's post is clearly sarcastic to me, but KingsDen's is either perplexingly legit or too deadpan. You've confused me and now I can't decide

Lol I hope this doesn't blow off, personally I think Kingsden was being sarcastic. The whole Kingsden post sounded to me like he was making fun of the thread, Poker Player too.

No, if you change your e-mail and your password you shouldn't edit your bitcoin address because it could show that the account has been sold or hacked by someone and is not trustable anymore. Your account could be red tagged for that. If you need to change your Bitcoin address staked, you shouldn't edit the former one but just add a new one while explaining why you need to change your staked address in a signed message from a former address posted on the forum or giving explanations why you can't access to your former addresses anymore. But I wouldn't make trades with someone who just changed his email, password and BTC staked address together, without a regular signed message from a former address.

If you genuinely find this tutorial so impressive, wait until you discover how to search for things on your own, it'll blow your mind!

Search the forum, it's been covered many times. Ideally you should get the size right before linking to them but, failing that, you can use the "width" attribute on the "img" tag like this:


Result:

Fucking shit! You are suffering from dementia or some other form of brain damage. Get to a doctor as soon as possible!

I'm missing something else, like being taught how to navigate the forum or how to respond to what is said in a thread.

Another one on how to send merits, with pictures to illustrate would be nice. There has been a reduction in the number of merit sent and it seems to me that it is because people don't know how to send them.
