A signed message from an old bitcoin address is a standard procedure to prove that the account belongs to me.
I would not know how else I could verify my account. I can talk to you in German if it helps you (just kidding
).
As I said, this account has never changed the owner and will never change the owner!
A signed message is a way of retrieving a hacked account. They can hack your forum account but not your Bitcoin private keys. There is no way of proving account sales one way or the other because the seller can provide everything you need. I'm not accusing you, I'm just pointing out that it's not something that can be proved.
OK, then I misunderstood you. Nevertheless, I do not know how to prove now that I (the owner) stayed the same.
I do not mean to sound overbearing, but there are people who still have a real life.
Actually, it's none of your business what I did in the meantime and why I stayed away from this forum, but since I have nothing to hide, I'll explain why.
Study, family and my girlfriend were one of the reasons why I did not have time for this forum.
So you don't go online at all during your "real" life? Studying, family and girlfriend take up your time 24/7? What changed now? I'm sure many people can go to school or run businesses, deal with family and girlfriends yet still find time to make the occasional post on a forum. You really don't think the huge gap in your posting is something that others should at least be concerned about?
I do not even know why I need to explain myself AFTER I've posted an SIGNED and a VERIFIED message from an old btc address.
As TheQuin just said people do sell accounts with private keys included, but it's still suspicious that you're MIA for years then suddenly decide to come back and start running campaigns. There have been dozens of scammers who have tried to run campaigns and several that have done so successfully. You could just be another one for all we know. You have no history here for years and all the signed message proves is your account isn't hacked but doesn't mean people shouldn't treat your with caution.
I never said that I was not online during that time. I just said that I did not have time for this forum! I simply did not visit this forum during the time. I can tell you exactly what has changed. The rapid rise of the btc in 2017!
I think it's a audacity that you accuse me without even a proof to have bought the account. Just because I stayed away from the forum does not mean that the account has changed owners.
but doesn't mean people shouldn't treat your with caution.
I do not mind. You can do that.
