Imagine collecting something solely for Bitcoin advancement in Solana 🤣

I've been lurking in the shadows for the past few years, but I've not seen a post this funny for a while. The Solana address at the end was the last nail 🤣 can't wait to see what comes next for Solana given it's now backed by Satotshi's own son lol

Re: Someone had access to my account last month - Please beware!

There is one problem with this though. Someone hacks an account, burns it with a scam of some sort, and then on the way out says "by the way, my account got hacked and the hacker got private keys too". Then the real owner shows up, who possibly never really lost those private keys, and signs a message. I hope you have a bit more to go on than just a word of a (potential) hacker.

We sure do, and I'm certain you understand the reason why we're not able to disclose any more than this. There was a combination of factors that made us come to this decision. It's never easy to leave an account locked, more so a legendary account such as this one and we've said many times that, even if there's a 1% possibility that we're not returning the account back to it's original owner, we'd rather have it remain locked instead of it ending up in the wrong hands.

it will be better if the account remains locked indefinitely.
Well, case closed. Lol.
Is this a first for a user who can sign a message? Or does it happen more often?

Theoretically, he can, but never did nor did we feel the need to ask for one as it wouldn't have meant much since the private keys seem to have been kept on a possibly compromised email address. There were a lot of question marks that wouldn't have been answered even with the help of a signed message in this case.

After a few days of checking every foreseeable aspect of this case (email, private keys, synced browser passwords, secret questions and what not, seem to have been compromised at some point), we've come to the conclusion that the hacking extent is way to big to determine the ownership correctly so it will be better if the account remains locked indefinitely.

Re: Can one change his email address if he no longer has access to it?

He doesn't need to contact the recovery team just for an email change! If the old email is lost, it's obvious that you need to change it if you ever want to have access to recover you password via email. Just make sure you don't lose the password and you won't need anyone unless the account actually gets lost/locked/hacked.

Thanks. Emailed and they didn't give a clear answer. There is no debate about this - it is my account.

I think the answer was clear enough. Even though the account has been used as collateral, our aim is to always provide the accounts back to their original owners. So if a user goes through the recovery process successfully and proves that he is the account creator, the account is returned to them.

I don't know how long recovery takes but if you can sign a message I can unlock it.

The answer time at the moment is probably one or two days tops, rarely three if we're very busy. He's emailed us and since we've already started, I'd rather have him go through our process Smiley but thanks a lot for your help!

Re: Justice for Mill0601

So what about the Reference stated in your profile in 2016.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;u=80716

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=996318.msg16203575#msg16203575

On your profile it says "account @ mill0601 has been sold".
If it is true that the account was sold, it is clear that you can no longer log into your old account, which was held by someone else.

What about all that, is it true that you have sold, after that you now want to claim your account again, many cases like this that I have encountered, If it's true the account: @mill0601 you are the owner, you can definitely enter it, if it doesn't involve a third party, it's sold/hacked.

Then, this address: 15d4cdy9TgUyLstnVf7MDDaPK5tM6UepKH, whose, you or the second party.
just because I staked an address without signing a message. timelord assumed that bought that account? LOL.
I find this timelord guy always confused, and always mixing things for no reason.

yes. that address is my address too.

Here is a msg I signed with it back in 2016:

Code:
-----BEGIN BITCOIN SIGNED MESSAGE-----
mill0601 from bitcointalk today is 6 nov 2016
-----BEGIN SIGNATURE-----
<15d4cdy9TgUyLstnVf7MDDaPK5tM6UepKH>

-----END BITCOIN SIGNED MESSAGE-----

now don't say that I have copied it from somewhere. I have copied it from my account's inbox. I've signed it back in 2016. but never posted it in public.



I noticed that the current account the OP is accessing is also inactive for quite some time.
The OP was able to log into the newbie account and was unable to log into the legend account. The second account was created a long time ago. It is possible that even then some questions arose for which there was a need for a second account. After all, the nickname has remained the same.
mate have you opened my main account's proile? if you have done that then you would've noticed that I've logged into that in 4th January. the day when I first created that post. I am able to login to my legend account. I am totally able.

In any case, if the OP remembers the password and he still has access to the e-mail linked to the account, he will not need to sign messages. Just need to wait for a response, but do not forget that active links also do not last forever (if you missed the moment, you will have to send the request again).
I got a response in email but those people refused to unlock my account. I think the person controlling that email is not real admin. but they are some assistant hired by Cyrus. so they are not ready to help me.. that's why I need justice from Cyrus himself.

I asked Hilariousandco and he asked me to PM admin. I just saw hilarious have power to unban accounts. but he seems not interested to help me.


#justicefomill0601


I don't really understand the urgency since it has only been used to post 3 times since 2016 but I will explain why you've been told that the account will remain locked! While account selling isn't prohibited, it is frowned upon. If the seller/original owner has enough evidence they could claim it back and our aim is to recover accounts back to their original owners. There is a reason why you have no access to the original email, why you cannot sign a message using any of the addresses staked prior to the feedback left by Timelord and, on top of it all, the email address was changed 3 times on the exact same day that feedback was left (which I'm guessing had some substance to it and wasn't just left out of thin air). That's the reason why we're inclined to think that we're not really returning the account back to the person who created it. As stated previously, it's indefinitely better for an account (especially a high ranked account such as this one) to remain locked rather than ending up in some else's hands other than it's creator!

Vreun update legat de locatie?  Grin

Probabil severin. 

Din pacate, de data asta nu am avut suficient timp pentru a cauta o locatie in Severin insa, asteptam initiativa (si invitatia  Grin) din partea comunitatii locale. Daca exista interes si din partea altor cumunitati, ne putem inhama la un turneu national haha

Hello i just want clarify about my account.
I don't know what happen. I am the real owner of my account.
Today i get email from Bitcointalk, my last login on June 2020. My last reply is on the Bitvest thread.

Please remove my negative trust. I don't know what happen. I never do anything to harmness someone.
I will change my password and also maybe my email. Or tell me how to full control my account again.
I think i just get hacked. But i don't know how the hacker get access to my account. I only access my account in my personal computer or my phone with high security and never install anything software.

Also please don't banned my account. I build my reputation in long way. Very sad if that happen. I swear this is out of my control.

I can confirm that the account was used by someone else to post the fake miner but it appears that now, it's in the original owner's hands and the email and password were changed.

My suggestion would be to perform a complete clean-up on your device and have another go with changing the password and email. Only after that, you can provide a signed message using a previously posted BTC address in order to have Lafu remove his negative feedback. It so happens that the first ever post using this account is a BTC address, so you can use that one if you're still in control.

The account went through the recovery process and has been recovered. Please note that this doesn't guarantee that an account that goes through the recovery procedure needs to necessarily be hacked, in other words, we're only acting on the evidence that the recoverer is the original account-owner and followed the recovery procedure.

Re: Allowing username change, is it good?

Well, if you're coming back after a long period, you can still search for the user in the members search page by the old username that you're familiar with - as tranthidung said, only the display name changes, not the username. The result will be the new display name but, given the fact there is only one result, IMO it's obvious that it's him even though the display name is different.
