Title: Michells' acusation
Post by: kpriess on January 10, 2016, 05:05:00 PM
Hello, I have been a member of this forum since 2011, and what came to my attention recently is how deliberate people are when it comes to users changing their password. I did, thats correct but why would that mean I sold my account?
I've been given a negative trust by Mitchell, a moderator, who pressumely acusses me of having sold my account. I would like to say that apart from this being false, i am really disappointed. I have asked him via PM why he has done that, but recieved no answers at all, basicaly that is why I am posting here, to get notice of him.

I have never said I resetted my password, why would I? I did change my password, which in terms it means it got reset to a new one.

Mitchell, this is a request for your reply.


Thank you.

Can you sign a bitcoin message from an old address (that you've posted here in the forum) or can you prove that you are the real owner?


Reset != change.

this account seems sold recently,so the account is now being controlled by a new owner and its risky for a green trust potential hero account that can be used for any kind of scam attempt

check the links, I have archived those pages if they are modified.

below is PM I received from this user for leaving him negative trust, he said he forgot password and had to reset this but password was not reset  it was changed using old password that makes him shady


My potential activity, and why would this be me? I've seen plenty of other accounts with pretty much similar details. If its about the password change, I know and understand how people on the forum are so deliberate about that. I've been a member since 2011, haven't been on since 2014 so I have forgotten my password and had to reset. Why would you acusse me of this?

I definitely had forgotten the passowrd but fortunately my account is signed in forever so I still was able to login. I might not have used the exact vocabulary but yea reset, means changed to a new password.

I do not use BTC anymore, I had a blockchain account but transferred fund and don't even remember the password, I do not use it anymore.
As you can see, I havn't even posted since 2014, I do not use this forum that much, any longer.

You are just digging yourself in deeper, you can only change your password after you insert your current password.

really

you forgotten password then how you managed to change without having old one.
you account was signed in forever, since 2014. I am surprised , many things happened during 2014-2015 including 2-3 times forum downtime but you were still logged in.

If you can't sign a bitcoin message, then you are not the real owner.

Create a new forum account ;) and start again, or prove you are not a liar/untrustworthy user.

Well, I have forgotten the blockchains password since I do not use it anylonger. Both of my neg trust given are literaly stupid, non sense. Just wanted to clarify things, I am the real and only owner. Anyways thank you.

I trust you,don't worry  ;)

when you are able to reset bitcointalk password without remembering old one,you should try same with blockchain too, hope you succeed

To use a different analogy, this is the nail in the coffin.

Anyone can confirm you need to enter the current password before you can change the password.  OP must be lying when he said he didn't have the original password.

To the OP:  Use a password manager like Lastpass (http://lastpass.com).  Allows me to use a unique strong password for each site, and it never forgets them.  :)

You're welcome, but 'I am the real owner' is not to be considered as a valid proof.

If you have access the the email account associated with the blockchain.info account you might have an email containing the secret passphrase for all your bitcoin addresses.

I am afraid you have a very bad case here........

I have a suggestion to redeem yourself.

I have studied your history, you have sold a lot of mining hardware and mining equipment in the past........

Example here
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=58830.msg693427#msg693427

http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u157/sephirothcr/2012-01-15_14-03-42_368.jpg

It is reasonable to assume that you have sold the stuff by now.....

HOWEVER

The table and tiles provide you with a (relative) unique signature....

If you can take an exact pictures to show you have a brown wooden table (the exact same one) standing on gray tiles, then would you have a much stronger case.

You can also show a picture of this rather "unique" carpet seen in the background.....
http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u157/sephirothcr/2011-06-10210350.jpg

Remember to place a handwritten paper note in the picture with user name + date.

Maybe he moved out from his house to somewhere else ?
Or worst case scenario he sold both of his table and carpets :P
But we wiil just have to wait for him to show up ;)

I recently came back to BitcoinTalk and found that my account had been hacked [not sold].. It's not Amusing.

Anyways, if a mod needs proof to close it down, I still have the same old carpet and desk that are shown on my old trade pictures..

Then if you can provide pictures of the table and carpet right now, that might help build your case... Though it's not uncommon to be able to have photoshop skills.

Additionally, theymos has previously said:

Quote
If you want us to recover a hacked/lost account, you need to prove that you own it. Typically, the only acceptable method of proving ownership is by signing a message (including current date and desired new email address) using a Bitcoin address or PGP key associated with the account. A Bitcoin address or PGP key is associated with the account only if the account posted the key/address, sent it in a PM, or if it is still listed in the account's profile.

I very rarely recover accounts if you can't prove ownership as described above. There are alternative ways of proving ownership, but they take too much time. If I point you to this thread, you can't prove ownership properly, and then I ignore your future PMs, this means that I'm not going to recover your account. Create a new one.

You're probably unlikely to have the account returned.

And whoa, it's been a while since this thread was last updated. That's a 9-month break!


How did you lose the private key? (By lose, I mean stopped having access to)

Yes, I read it before I posted here it and I'm not expecting to have it back, it just sucks that people are getting scammed using my nickname..

After I quit Bitcoin, I deleted all traces of it including wallets, accounts, passwords, etc. on my old hard drive, before I destroyed it. But I forgot about this account and well, now we know what happened..


Pictures is the best thing I can do now.. I'm also uploading them from the same Image Host service I used back then..

  If you got out bitcoin scene a while ago,why you still need to use this forum ? More like your forum account ? Don't worry about people trading with him,since he is covered in all red,no one would bother him for anything.

While I take a stance against the account hackers,I personally believe the only way to prove ownership is through signing messages from an address,everything else is gullible.

It seems like it checks out.

The photobucket site had also uploaded his previous image here: table (http://s167.photobucket.com/user/sephirothcr/media/2012-01-15_14-03-42_368.jpg.html?sort=3&o=45) and carpet (http://s167.photobucket.com/user/sephirothcr/media/2011-06-10210350.jpg.html?sort=3&o=51)
and the pictures seem to match, albeit this time a lot darker than the originals.



Anyway, at this point it seems like realkpriess is in fact the owner of the kpriess account (though I am curious to hear the answer to the question you posed).

I don't need the Forum. I read an article that linked here, and remembered I had an account [which its password had changed], then saw someone was posting on my behalf..
Because it sucks to see a scammer linked to the nickname you use all over the Internet.

I already provided pictures and that's the best I can do, if it's not enough then I'm sorry..

You could see the trusted feedback left by the DT members (if you know what that is) which speaks for itself.Don't worry about anyone initiating trades with them.As long as your alias for the internet is concerned,you can always ask them to check the feedbacks.

Apparently, there is no real way to prove your identity on this forum as its core is a little archaic.. And no, I don't know Mitchell..
