@tg9 Nice story, but without proving that you are the owner of the account, we cannot do anything. Can you prove ownership by showing any information that only those who can access that account know, for example, details of PM messages or a trusted person on the forum that you communicated with, or any Bitcoin address that you can sign a message from, or anything?
Everything is somehow confusing. Was your account hacked or sold?
It appears that he lost access to his account and is now trying to prove that he has an old account or help restore that account.
You have to prove that you used to be the owner of that account. Sign one of the old Bitcoin addresses used by the 98789 account. For example, 1PUXDiGXQygTs32iB9YwfnUadQhpuWGnq9 which is used
hereI don't know if this is the Coinbase address he meant
When I was 98789 I staked one of my bitcoin addresses, but unfortunately it was a Coinbase address. To the best of my knowledge, they removed the ability to sign messages years ago, so while I know that that is the gold standard to prove you are who you claim to be, I won't be able to provide a signed message for that reason. I see no reason why I would claim some really old account
