I still dont see how this could help to identify an alt account.
Possibly, figuring what the real IP behind a VPN is and checking against other account's IPs similarly .
Mexxer-2, If I am asked for information, I will give it. It is still linking back to the topic at hand. For legal reasons, servers store user's information (so they are not liable).
Oh the wonders you can do with a PM.
I would argue that your post following is more off topic than mine?
Nope it was related.
OP's argument-> Others calling him a troll and having an alt-> Someone says why not look for his IP-> I give answers
Yours goes farther in the "chain"
OK... So instead of being empathetic for the death of a treasurer and his family, we are now wondering what happened to his 250BTC?
Also, this is not much to lose for the forum (It has over 5500 BTC according to Theymos). Not sure it is really worth going to this effort for 1/22 of this).
Having doubts is fine by me, especially if its about a significant amount of money(BTC in this case). You'd have no problem if I after being a trustworthy person, take 1/22 of what you've earned so far by your job(if you have one) never to be seen again?
Edit: ~100 grands is a significant amount of money.
