Hi, yes he is the real admin of the Strongblock group and yes you are correct about what I am trying to do in the 1st sentence. He is asking questions to about me possible recovering my rewards from the nodes without being detected by the hacker but I doubt he IS the hacker. He has not asked me any questions that would enable him to hack my wallet such as seed/recovery phrases, wallet addresses, computer IP address or anything of that nature. He did say I'd have to reconnect the same hacked wallet and that's what's making me nervous. And I did not know or talk with him when the hacking happened in December; Matter of fact, I didnt even join the Strongblock telegram group until days later.
he has said the correct thing about that. it caused by your hacked wallet was your credential to connect into your account on strong block. You have no choice other than conercting your wallet that's ever got hacked to get your reward and that's why this must be done as fast as you can before the hacker was taking our your reward. Your wallet is an id for the platform to identity if it's you. you will never able to use another wallet to get your reward. this is the only choice.
I'm not being hacked "again"; The hacking happened in December. After being hacked I removed the Metamask wallet from my Chrome extension. But my nodes are about to expire meaning I could lose them because I have not paid the monthly fee. To do so, I have to pay in ETH, and all transactions must be done using that same hacked wallet meaning I would have to put ETH into it, then use that eth to pay the node fees on the Strongblock website. I am not 100% sure if there's a sweeper bot in it but I may have to try with a small amount of ETH and see.
yeah just try that with small amounts of money. this to make sure if it's not being connected or controlled by the bot but i do believe it's not. as long as you are doing it as fast as you can and you can oay fees for your node. From what i know based on your story if you wanna extend your nodes or take youe reward but you're feeling worry if the hacker was coming again to take it.
