Topic: I need help (Read 2458 times)

The thread that BadBear linked you to contains explicit instructions on how to recover a lost account. Following those instructions is the only way that you can regain access to your account. Theymos does not want you to reply from your e-mail address because there is a chance that it had already been compromised as well. A proof of ownership of a Bitcoin address that you -- the "original owner" -- have previously claimed to have singular access to before the account was "hacked" is the only proof that Theymos needs.

To further simplify things, consider this example. Let's say that you sent Theymos a PM containing a Bitcoin address that you have ownership of a long time ago. For the sake of simplicity, let's say that the Bitcoin address was 1AccountIsMine1234. If you can link back to that PM, then you can prove that you, the "original owner," owns that address. Having proved that you owned 1AccountIsMine1234, you can then digitally sign a message using that address, thereby proving that you also own the account.

E-mail replies and Bitcoin addresses that have not been previously claimed by you are not valid because there is no way to prove or disprove that you are the original owner from only those. It's a chicken-and-egg kind of thing -- you either need the chicken or the egg first. In your case, you have neither.

I could not figure out how to prove it to you? .. I will give you my email I wrote you will see if it is, send me an email message, I will return you an answer then you will see that I am. If not, can it be deleted and maximum you add me My forum posts are 42 posts new profile

An answer to what? You can either prove you own the account, or you can't.

If you can prove it as outlined above, and you did send a signed message, then read this. https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.7637780

What bothers me that the director has not given me an answer yet, if you can help or not.

Friends seem to me that you are exaggerating a little bit .. Why would anyone buy me an account he can do it alone? .. Especially that my account was not so big I only had 40 posts

You're right there would be a record of a sale of a account from someone* not the actual account holder.

The user who sell these accounts use a new account and they advertise that they're selling. After they have sold,  they can make another new account and come back here saying that someone hacked into their account and sold it.

I would think if the account has been sold, the buyer would contact Theymos to dispute the claim. There would be a record of the sale in PM's. All we would see is a thread like this.

Maybe this is why some people aren't getting their accounts back? (not accusing anyone in particular)

It has happened and will probably only get more frequent. The account will probably get ruined with negative feedback though. The person who bought the account could also possibly get it right back by signing another message, but where does it stop as you could just keep going backwards and forwards, though I guess the user with the oldest address associated with the account will always come out on top.

Some times I wonder, people who sell accounts here, are doing this, sell their accounts, make profit and then come back here and claim that their accounts have been hacked and re-claim it back.

Not saying op is doing or pointing fingers at anybody but just wondering if this is happening.

I am afraid theymos is the only one that can help you in this case.

Seems like people are losing their accounts on a daily basis. Has it always been like this?

It's a shame such a great forum, none of the directors of the forum does not intervene and try to help

I do not know what's so funny?! ... I remember the password but apparently someone broke my user and changed it to me, that my Email Address does not appear

ahahah jhon first i laugh on you how you lost you password ahah sorry but you have to make a backup of your account atleaset you have to writer you password on a paper or on a notepad theres no way to get back to login from you old user only you can login just by remembering you password.. or ask to mod maybe he can help yo..

I have gotten replied from global mods and theymos himself within 12 hours
It should not take to long if you explained everything correctly

Don't reuse the passwords, and don't download "strange" files or run "strange" programs on your computers.
These should keep your account 99.9% safe.

that hacked accounts scares me

Hope I can keep my account without these problems

Sorry, haven't seen they are the same (deleted the other message)

But I can stress:




But if OP used escrow to buy/sell something that would require personal info, the escrower could verify the info, and the alleged stolen account would be at least banned.

This link is already posted on this thread by hilariousandco , and I guess OP sent a PM to theymos too..! that's what he mentioned in his last post that he's waiting for 7 days.

Been a week since I sent a message to theymos and he still has not returned to me, anyone know another moderator who can help?
