usually u dont get back accounts, unless tooo trusted or a valuable member of the forum/
You do if you provide a valid proof(signed message from a staked address), so shut up and stop misleading others

just to make sure I keep my account safe in case something happens - what does it mean when you say "staked address" and how do you have a signed message. Sorry for this noob question just not understanding what exactly that means
Staking an address means that a user posts an address in a thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=996318.0.

Other users will quote it for you and you would have the proof that the address was associated with the account and you can sign a message using your Bitcoin address to prove ownership. The hacker with control of your account will not be able to completely delete the address.
thanks ranochigo for your help, i have sent the signed message to theymos. Waiting for his reply.




thx so much I will put my bitcoin address in that section!

When was the last time you had access to your account?

I think the hard part is going to be to show account was not sold or something.  With someone currently using it we have 2 people claiming control I'm guessing.

It will be interesting to see what moderators do.  I think a simple locked out would be much easier then mod playing judge and jury to decide who owns an account.
It isn't hard if the current owner has proofs that the account belongs to him.
