One question. Is it much better to recover an account if the email that you used in your lost account is your personal email? Is it enough to prove your ownership?
• I'm not sure I got your question, but recovering accounts involves sending a mail to the recovery address and it's preferable if it can be sent from the accounts email address;.
If your account was hacked

Email recoveries...@bitcointalk.org, ideally from the account's email address. Include your username and a brief description of the details of how/when the account was hacked.


• It's is not always enough, a signed message is the preferred proof of ownership, but depending on the situation it may not be required;
Additionally, we will be somewhat more lenient in recovering accounts without signatures, though signatures often will still be required, depending on the situation.
