So is the general consensus that everyone's going to dump their s2x coins asap?

I don't know about "general consensus"

To get at my keys I'd have to travel to Antarctica, dig down through 40M of ice, disarm the traps (non trivial undertaking even knowing how they are set up) cut open the welded shut vault and then defrost the Pentium 3 inside.

Just too much trouble.

All good things to those who wait

Clearly Jihan Wu, Rojer Ver (and friends) are combining their efforts to bring bitcoin down and pump BCH. They use any gap on the bitfinex bids to hammer the price by spending thousands of bitcoins. I am afraid that the 'free money' from the fork will come with severe attacks from this gang of morons. They will use the time of uncertainty to hammer bitcoin as hard as possible, with the hope to force the users to accept 2X as bitcoin.

Trouble is if your account is hacked you need to come back as a newbie. I am one of many even though i could prove ownership of my original account through bitcoin signing the admins didn’t even rrspond once to my many inquiries.

That is troubling. Had you previously registered a Bitcoin addy with your profile, from which you could sign a statement? And if so, did the mods just ignore ?

Yep. Not a peep from Theymos or Cyrus.
This was the link I sent to them
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.21177226
And the message I sent them was signed with the same BTC address.
Go figure?

welcome to the club.. i´m another ignored hacked account, ex-hero member

ditto.

hacked legendary - edgar account

verified and ignored by both theymos & cyrus.

twice.

the hacker/new owner wants paying upfront to return it but i cant risk losing more money over a pretty much pointless account.

What are they asking?

TORQUE!!!

Sorry, was away for awhile tending to some things.

Btw this is unrelated to my going dark, but for years I had heard the rumors of certain Legendary users being approached by other anonymous users with offers to sell their accounts to them. And even rumors that some had taken them up on it.

Well... it's now happened to me too. "Name your price", he said. I find it all amusing. Just know that I am a person of integrity and would never do something like that, no matter what the offer was. Anyone who wants to buy your account intends to impersonate you and do bad things with it. No thanks.

I really don't know why I got so worried. I fully expect that you are well able to fend for yourself, so I apologize for having any doubts.

The $5 wrench has been looming ever larger in my thoughts as the sums involved become ever more motivating.

I think it may be near time for some of us to reevaluate our personal security arrangements.

Money is really not as dangerous as a lot of people think.

Further, you realize that the 8MB 'limit' is merely a setting, right?

yeah, so y'all flip a bit and all of a sudden I'm building an addition on my house to house the 19" racks to store a 1GB block every 10 minutes...hell, that's only 52.56PB a year, what could possibly go wrong?

That's 52.56 TB, not PB, and it's not that large, considering the advances in technology. Currently it's only six 10 TB HDDs. Soon it will be just a single (and relatively cheap) HDD.

How much do accounts like ours go for, anyway? Surely he has a max price in mind.

I dunno, his PM just said "Name your price." I didn't reply, and don't plan to.
