Is this coin listed on any decent exchange? Does it have any liquidity and what is the best place to buy it?

Lately, I have been purchasing $ZER on InstaSwap :-)

Yeah, it does sound surprising, but, life got turned upside down for a few years....

I contacted AOL tech support, and they said that they will try to help me recover all of my old emails/files, of course, I DID NOT mention Bitcoin lol. I will let you know if it works!

Dee

Does anyone here know how to retrieve email files from aol? Just to reiterate, I do have access to the computers, and laptops.....

Try to look again on AOL, if you still have access, and look for Achive folder, the very old mails may be there.
Of course, you can also ask their support without mentioning Bitcoin, but if they get too curious and your info is not encrypted / password-protected they may help themselves...
Google about recovering old AOL mails.

Also one copy of those mails could be locally, but I don't know if, how and by what rules. Maybe it would not hurt to make a clone all those old computers' HDDs and keep one set of copies untouched, or at least not use for a while those HDDs. And of course, start digging for whatever could be useful - maybe wallet.dat files, maybe zip or rar files in case you archived them, pool info (slush?) and of course old mails saved in whatever form.

PS. If you talk about thousands of Bitcoin, I an surprised that you ignored them in 2014 and 2017...

Yes, there are a number of people that I have heard about that are in a similar situation. It sucks, but, it is what it is. Hopefully it works out for those of us in this crappy position.

Dee

If you do have the access to your computer then I do believe that you should be able to retrieve them without any problems but the thing is it would be an extremely hard Task and someone who does have a lot of experience in doing the same is the only one who can help you with this. You can try and ask for tech support just don't leave your laptop there. Lol
The only thing that can save you is if you remember the password, the address of the coins , there is also something called the **keys** you have to make sure to see what you do have with yourself and maybe you wrote down that information somewhere? That would be the hardest part for sure.
Rest best of luck I hope you are able to find what you are looking for.
Rest there are many people who are facing the similar situation. The guy who lost his access to laptop is now paying in millions to retrieve the hard drive so that he can try and get the address from there. But you have it ! That means you are at a better place already.

No, I am here. Just a busy mom lol. I have not tried recovering deleted files. That is something I will be trying to do! I consider myself pretty computer savvy, BUT, I have a lot to learn about more advanced stuff.... such as recovering deleted files. My husband suggested taking my old computers to someone with more experience, but, that makes me incredibly nervous, for obvious reasons ha!

Dee

... and OP is gone  Grin.

Anyway, have you tried recovering deleted files on that HDD?  There is a possibility that the traces of files you uploaded on that AOL is still lingering on those sectors of your HDD.  I just hope that the sector holding those important files was not overwritten by other files that can cause errors (corrupted files) when retrieving them.

Honestly, the reason I started looking in 2017 instead of 2013 is for a number of reasons.
Like I said originally, life got crazy/busy. My husband and I divorced, I was working on a degree, got remarried, had a kid.... just lots of things going on. I did not think about Bitcoin again until years later.

This is clear if I'm not mistaken I have read this thread in another section where bitcoins have also been lost, but it's different from this OP. because he still keeps it in his computer's email address which may hopefully be opened in a file that might be able to be returned again. although it might also not be easy because it's been too long and there are so many changes besides, actually registering another email address to fix the password. maybe you can ask for a change in the password which you might forget, but if the repair email address is also forgotten, you have no other way to check maybe there are files left on the computer.

I agree with you that why is the OP just making a fuss now, why when there was an increase in 2013 it was not surprising, or it could be because it wasn't big yet and it was not surprising. but before the 2017 increase, hackers were already hacking into many companies and asking for payment using bitcoin, whether you don't know either. why did it take so long to wake up and was surprised. I hope it works

I have access to some of my old computers, hopefully the right ones. To be honest it's a crap shoot, but, I gotta try. I do not know if the email folders were saved on my HD.... like I said, when I login to mail.aol.com, it shows only email from 2015 til current. I lost literally 15 years of emails/files/folders.

A couple of years ago, I tried logging on to aol via AOL Desktop program, and it is no longer working/functional. They discontinued it.

The only steps I took in 2017 to recover the info was just trying to log on to my old email accounts, and did quick scans looking for certain keywords, such as bitcoin, bitcoin core, bitcoin-qt, wallet, et. cetera.

I am just needing to figure out if all of my old emails are still accessible. :-(


Dee

Do you recon you have the email folders saved on the old HD's?
I assume you cannot access the computers so what about trying to
recover the data from the HD's on a newer PC, I know this sounds
obvious.

Maybe somehow on the old PC's there are logins to older AOL accounts

What steps did you take in 2017 to recover the info?

Help regarding LOST Bitcoin....😳

I know I am one of MANY people who just lost track of their Bitcoin from way back, you know, it wasn't worth much then, and life got busy.... So, starting in about 2017 I started looking for my Bitcoin, and lost hope, but here I am back at it again. So, I do apologize for being one of "those" people asking for help!

I mined back in the early days.... I didn't mine for long, just off and on from mid to late 2009, to about late 2010, but honestly though, I am not sure on exact time frame, because it was so long ago. With that being said, I also received a few payments using Bitcoin between 2010, and late 2011, for services provided.... In total I have, well, LOTS of Bitcoin. I hate to speculate, but, I would say thousands.

I am 95% sure that what I need is on one of my old computers (I kept most of them). I had most everything in the old AOL email, and I have been unable to access it. I can login to a couple of my aol accounts through mail.aol.com, BUT, it doesn't have all of my email/archives/saved folders, et. cetera! It just has from 2015 til current. I am missing about 15 years worth of stuff, most importantly, my Bitcoin info.

Does anyone here know how to retrieve email files from aol? Just to reiterate, I do have access to the computers, and laptops.....

Thank you,
Dee :-)

this coin is GARBAGE. There are literally DOZENS of better projects than this heap. Guys, the "lead developer" is a cat and they other "devs" are made up. You should never invest in a project with an anonymous team. Who the hell is DIMITRIS MARSELOS anyways? Well, if anyone did even a modicum of research they would know he has a background as a Manager, Passenger Services for a shipping company. How does someone go from that position (which he currently still does) to anything to do with crypto?? The answer is, they don't. This is a SCAM. I tried to warn you before, and am warning you again. It's not too late to get out now!

Way to be a Debbie downer  Roll Eyes Funny thing is, if you don't like this coin, why are you on this page? As for an anonymous team? Jesus! I guess BTC/Satoshi is a no go, and many others.

What I would recommend to anyone prior to investing in ANY coin, is people need to do their own research. Never take the advice of anyone on a forum. DUE DILIGENCE.

You should be able to reset your password by doing one of the following; recovery email, answer security questions, or use phone number listed on account. If you do not have access to the email or phone number, and do not remember your security questions, you might just be out of luck.

I got an email from Crypto IQ about TNB... I decided to throw a couple hundred bucks into it, just for sh!ts and giggles. I don't expect anything immediate, more of a long term HODL possibly. I guess only time will tell.

I highly doubt that ETH will EVER go back to $1, but most certainly not this year. Even if the price decreases some, $1 is more than a stretch.

Re: $500 million go missing in largest cryptocurrency hack ever - News
by
SportyCornet777
on 28/01/2018, 08:34:29 UTC
Japanese cryptocurrency exchange Coincheck has confirmed it lost about $524 million after suffering a hack which stole 500 million NEM tokens, said to be the biggest cryptocurrency hack ever. NEM, the 10th-largest cryptocurrency by market value, fell 11% over a 24-hour period following the hack. The previous largest theft was pegged at $450 million in 2014 from a Tokyo-based exchange.

Shocking news huh? This will affect badly for the Crypto world. Are these hackers unstoppable ? I am worried all my coins are in exchanges, not in hardware wallets, Exchanges are really not safe, This news confirms it again.

I think most of these so called "hacks" are just inside jobs. I know it doesn't lessen the blow. This is obviously huge! I am guilty of leaving coins in exchanges as well, definitely making me rethink that.

I really like Deep Onion. I think this coin is strong and has great potential to go somewhere big. Zero is another coin that I support that could be big, IMO. There are many others that I am a strong believer in, but not sure how I feel about them for the next 6 to 8 months. I guess time will tell.

I have most of those same coins in my portfolio. One that I have been following but have not bought was BitBay, maybe I need to give this coin another look. I agree with you on supporting the idea of a coin you invest in... I need to be able to support the idea, the technology behind it, and often times, the founding team. For instance, Sia and Tierion. I invested not just because of the idea, but I really liked their founders visions, they seemed very genuine. I have spent hours watching interviews etc.

But overall, I like your portfolio ;-)

I am really excited about the potential for Sia. I will keep HODLING, as I have hopes that it will be much bigger than it is now. I really like David Voricks vision, he seems genuine. Maybe I am looking at this all wrong, but I aside from the technology behind Sia, I am a fan of the founders ;-)

do you guys know when oyster will keep increasing as i saw it was 4,8 $ , now around 1,2$ . it is collapsed! can you give me any information about it ?

Your guess is as good as anyones ;-) The market will bounce back soon enough, right now I feel like there is an opportunity to grab some coins for much cheaper. Look at Zero for instance... it was $12'ish and been holding pretty steady at $3.5

As far as Oyster Pearl, I am pretty excited about this coin! Snagging up a bunch more at this price!
