This is exactly the reason why online wallets/exchanges shouldn't be used. I haven't used coinbase, and doubt that gambling sites will allow you access to the private key, but the very least you can do is contact them, and see if they can help you out. Maybe, you'll get lucky.

But, without a signed message you aren't going to get your account back regardless of the proof provided.


Yea I realize that my account probably will not get back to me. At this point im trying to get the account flagged. Ive seen it myself throughout the years and understand that you dont just take a newbies word for anything. What kind of proof can I provide to the community when the hacker deleted what looks like most of the addresses I ever put up? I mean when I started out here, I only heard of bitcoin because I have wanted to play poker online, so if you look at my post history its like 2 years worth of poker talk, sports betting and generally always about gambling, now the posts are not even in English.


Do I need to let a trusted member on the trust tree to log into my email and see the messages first hand? or maybe screenshots from other sites where I use the badjacks99 name? I have had a SWC poker username there since they were still seals with clubs. C'mon trust tree guys, tell me how I can prove my story.

How long since you tried logging in?

A cursory glance does appear the posting style changed a while back. While you won't get the account back without a signed message, you may (if you care) convince someone to tag the account if you provide information regarding the email that had been sent when you could have locked the account.

I have only every used coinbase and some gambling sites so I'm not sure thats possible.

So, I would like to prove it to the community and ask that you redflag the account.
You'll need to come up with some conclusive evidence before I tag the account.

From my own files, I can confirm your profile showed 138JRWPx31YiGUs33iovowuWYHBtBuRP99 on October 18, 2016. This address has received over 8 Bitcoin. But without a signed message, you can't prove ownership.

Hey guys, awhile back my hero account Badjacks99 was hacked. It looks like I had 14 days to reclaim my account from an email that I got for bitcointalk but I didnt notice it in time. Reading through the forums it looks like my only option to get the account back is to sign a message. I have only every used coinbase and some gambling sites so I'm not sure thats possible.

The account profile : https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/badjacks99-206234


My last post was on February 26, 2018, 07:54:55 AM

and picks up on April 15, 2018, 03:24:31 AM where it has been taken over.

I have Included a few screenshots of the emails.

I have spent alot of time and effort on the forums through out years and would hate to lose my account just because I took a step back from bitcoin for a few months. It may be the case that unless an admin can look into that my account is gone. So, I would like to prove it to the community and ask that you redflag the account.

If anyone has any idea how I should proceed, any advice would be appreciated. Thank you.
