Happy to host a pool when the time comes. Not sure I'll be around for launch.
Open it for pre-registration or something. I suggested a one week low reward transition "fairness" period for the difficulty to stabilize, while everyone gets mining. This can be as short as 4 days. Depends on the dev.
What if it was sent from Coinbase where they generate a new wallet address each time you send. I can provide a screenshot of the list of wallets I have generated from my account. Would that work?
That could work; but we all know screenshots can be photoshop.
Or you could loan a trusted member or escrow your login details, so he can verify your claim, then you change your password after that. If you do this, I suggest you empty your Coinbase wallet, so there is no chance of coin theft.
I would be willing to do this for free. Tips appreciated. If you have 2FA on your webwallet, either you turn it off, OR if you can catch me online when both of us are awake, do a real time chat and message me your auth code.
An alternative is to allow the trusted member or escrow access to your email. The scammer sent you a confirmation message right? Do NOT forward the email. Forwarded emails are easier to forge than to photoshop a fake wallet. I have no interest in your private emails, I get enough spam on my own.
Still taking volunteers on putting together that process btw..
The basic premise will be: prove you owned the transaction address that sent coins to the scammer address.
1) method 1 as mentioned above: sure bet.. You do this, its yours (btw someone needs to post instructions on how to do this completely)
2) if sent from exchange/or somewhere else, we'll need you to verify you have control of that wallet address by sending a small amount using that address you sent to scammer to specific BTC address (tbd). This amount will be returned to the sender's address upon reception and verification, but it shows you owned control of original sending address.
3) Just lay claim to one of the original scam transaction publically: and if no one else claims it.. in let's say 2 weeks. Its yours. This will give hopefully enough time for any claim collisions to be resolved. Claims will be all publicly broadcasted.. so if anyone wants to contest, they can. In the event of a contest. Resort to method #2)
Okay, if no one else does it, I'll make a post, but there are many tutorials all over this forum and on the interwebz on how to sign a bitcoin message. I will suggest the message be simple: contains your user name or email address, your investor ID number, and exactly what you sent.
I do think #3 should be longer than 2 weeks. What if someone comes over here 3 weeks later, and shows a signed message? He just lost his coins to someone else who claimed it. I understand 1 year is too far away, but that's for unclaimed RSC. Claimed RSC without signed messages, maybe 4 weeks or 1 month. If someone else claims the same investor ID number, then it's dispute resolution time. The one who shows the best looking proof will get the claim.
