If there were some addresses that weren't lost by the drive, then you should be able to sign them, right?

What happened to the coins is irrelevant. As long as we have a tx history and a signed message we know the circulation of BTC.

Don't you see all of my private key were in a single drive which I used mostly. Also just to let you know, price of BTC were pretty low at the time I was holding large amounts of it.

Please stop trying to juggle me in this questions, I am not here to get into this investigation. I have already confirmed my issue and its very genuine to anyone. Also I have reported a PM confirming my email id from 2012 to Global Moderator.

Yes, of course some of my BTC were lost due to the hard drive crash. I didn't saved any BTC I sold most of them. Also I don't tend to earn much from crypto now.

You should still be able to sign the addresses, aye? Even if there was a hard drive crash in 2016 I assume you stored more coins elsewhere (or had backups) considering the totals.

In my eyes it seems as if everything is just as convenient as it needs to be for you. All of what you are saying may be true, perhaps you are extremely unlucky too. But all I see is one red flag after another.

Yes, I had lot number of address, but I don't tend to earn from crypto now due to the dip in price. I have already emptied most of it.

Thank you for your help.

A quick question that you should be able to answer:
Do you remember why you are in Bitcoin?
(I think I remember)

Yes, I was first introduced to it by Steve Gibson. Also I was working with IRC stuff at the initial stage.

Quote from: qwk on February 01, 2019, 09:48:33 AM

Also, would it be possible for you to sign a message with a bitcoin address with some substantial amount of bitcoins in it?

I don't know what does substantial point here but yes I can transfer some small amount of Bitcoin to my currently signed BTC address some days back.

Quote from: qwk on February 01, 2019, 09:48:33 AM

Assuming you are the real BTC_Bear, I guess it'd be safe to assume you have at least one or two, let's say ten or a hundred BTC wallets lying around?

Ok, I have reported a PM from 2012 to Global Moderator Hilariousandco which contains my email address quoted. I hope he will confirm it and respond soon.

I'm not trying to turn this into a witch hunt, but anything that could convince me of your identity would probably help.

Well.. He did apply to one of my campaigns when waking up from inactivity, only to withdraw a couple of days later. Make of that what you will.

Got proof?

Hello, Hhampuz

I, unfortunately, will not be able to work with the minimum post requirements of the Bitvest Signature camping due to some time management issue so I am withdrawing my application and I am happy to give my spot to someone more eligible.

I am ( Tire C ) in the spreadsheet Sr.Member #1

Thank You for understanding.
Will be happy to work with you in your future campaigns.
Have a nice day ahead.

I scan around the forum today, when I have spare time, and found the topic.
It's a big surprise because recent days, I saw the account more often.
For now, it seems that I known the reasons of the more regular appearance.

The case, forces me to the ideas that I have to signed my BTC address to secure my account asap (I have never mind of it, honestly)

If he has the original email that is more than enough.

No.
It is actually highly likely that an account could have been hacked simply by acquiring access to the original email address.
So, proof of control of the email address doesn't necessarily prove anything.

Quote from: cryptohunter on February 01, 2019, 07:57:10 AM

Am I the only one noticing he is not spamming a sig ? like every single other person in this thread. That would suggest he is not desperate for btc dust either like the rest here which further supports the fact he is likely a vip.

That's the reason why my "gut feeling" says "not hacked".
Then again, it might be considered wise to err on the side of caution.

MY RED TRUST LEFT BY SCUMBAGS - READ MY SIG

If you "suspect" this has changed hands a neutral is MORE than sufficient to be left as a note that it MAY have changed hands. Red is just trust abuse on a suspicion

This thread says hacked (because I doubt a vip was ever broke enough to need to sell) i am sure someone if they were hacked are quite likely to be mentioning it also.

Screenshots don't prove anything. If you want to prove ownership of an email address from an old PM, you could report the PM to Global Mod hilariousandco (after all, his alt started this topic) to verify the address shows in that PM.

However, it's not uncommon for email addresses to change hands together with a Bitcointalkaccount, either when the email gets hacked, or when the account gets sold, so it doesn't really prove anything.

Yes, but it is uncommon for a VIP account, I take the security more seriously, also you need to consider a exception.

I would not be good with publishing my PMs publicly, but I can trust @qwk and send him a PM with a screen shot of my PMs from 2012 ( oldest once) which include my original email mentioned. And later he could confirm, what is my original email from much years.

Ok, I see your concern, I have already said I can trust @qwk and send him a 2012 prove about my original email. By the way theymos knowns my original email too. I hope he could confirm it here.

You are not going tag-free unless some other trusted user can verify you for sure. Does that make sense yet? Tongue

No, it does not make sense, every time a person loggs in after long time does not mean he is a hacker. Also, I don't think anyone could hack my accounts as I have set most of the security to my email. You cannot just tag peoples here without any proves and evidence of the case. This could be stated as power abuse in simple words. I have proves that I own the original email from start. Does that make sense?

It's also a bit weird that an old-timer would suddenly inject himself into the middle of all of this forum drama after all this time, especially given those periods of inactivity. Being inactive sort of makes me think he wouldn't care so much about the DT issues and whatnot...and then suddenly he appears.

I remember we have already talked through PM some days back about the issue related to DT guideline from theymos. And you should know that I am pretty concerned about the current DT state, it is not that I am a anti-DT person just trolling everywhere rather I tend to post in relevant thread with positive discussions on it.

Quote from: The Sceptical Chymist on January 31, 2019, 01:14:53 PM

Now I'm really curious as to whether it's the original owner posting. Not sure how he can prove it if he can't sign a message. PMs and e-mail are kind of iffy forms of proof, but I'll keep my eye on this thread

I don't know, but if my account was with a hacker, he would have just used it to pull a big ponzi here or atleast earn some funds from it and much more can be done with a VIP. Hope you understand the difference between a genuine person and a scammer/hacker.

1. What exactly are you concerned about? Who are you? Why should we believe anything you say? I mean, really? Tongue

2. Not necessarily. I've seen accounts like yours sit around dormant or just used enough to garner a bit more trust then they scam someone for a couple of coins based on their status.

You are not going tag-free unless some other trusted user can verify you for sure. Does that make sense yet? Tongue
