I should also add I have now received the 0.4574 BTC from titan for my unfunded (2fa) 1BTC silver coin as well.

It was theoretical question  Wink  btw - is there quick way to tell pk vs 2fa coin on first glance ?  And Thx again for sharing knowledge that couldn’t be found anywhere else !

Just spoke with Tim as it happens. He said that if you have the Item # from your order and it ends in PK, that's a private key coin. Up to you what you want to do with that info of course.

I peeled mine (which was a PK) anyway and transferred the funds away to be on the safe side. I kind of regret it now, because it worked - it was fully funded. But I would have regretted it more if I didn't do it now, and when I tried later it didn't work. So it is what it is - at least I know where I stand now.

I did do this (sent it to Cyrus on: January 29, 2018, 01:36:51 PM) including signed message and link to where I had posted the address that was used to sign the message (post was from the locked account before it was locked). Never received a reply. My account is unfortunately still locked.

I saw your main account woke up couple of hours after this post, was that you?

If so, lock this thread and congrats!

Otherwise, see: Recovering hacked/lost accounts
I would also suggest starting a topic in Meta board so it can be tagged as hacked in the mean time while you recover your account.

Unfortunately not, that was just me trying again. When you use the correct credentials it lets you log in but because it is locked you can't do anything else. I did discover there was an email address to write to included in the error message when I tried to log in and so I emailed that address

You need to send the admins proof that the account is indeed yours, by sending over a signed message[1] of the address associated with your locked account.

Help with locked account

Hi!

I had an account at bitcointalk for several years (scotjam). I had become a somewhat infrequent user over the past few years, but was still receiving the odd PM and logging in now and then.

Then at some point in the last few months my account seems to have gotten banned, presumably from inactivity because I was barely using it. The user still exists on the site but I'm not able to log in and it asks me to email an address to get it unlocked.

I've sent a quick email to that address a couple of days ago, but no reply yet.

Is it possible to unlock my old account? I still know my login details, have access to the email address I used to set it up, and probably even still have access to sign messages using the private keys corresponding to bitcoin addresses I used with the account in question to receive payments for things etc.

I do want to get back involved because during my hiatus I've created something that I think will be useful to the community, but it is likely to be *more* useful if people know it is coming from the same account that I did all my other trustworthy transactions from over the years if at all possible. If not I will have to release it as a newbie (which would no doubt be a little more hair-raising for everyone, especially if I can't even be sure myself why my account has been banned...).

Maybe the answer is that the email address that I sent the message to will get back to me and I just need to wait for some period of time before that happens (which is fine of course) but I would just like some reassurance that this will be looked at eventually. Otherwise I may as well start the gradual process of establishing this second account... I'm not keen to invest time in that though if it's just a matter of a short time for me to regain access to my original account.

Many thanks for reading - I know you're all busy on the forums here!
