Title: Post your recovery proof message here for verification
Post by: Steamtyme on August 20, 2018, 06:29:43 PM
This thread is an attempt to help people that have had their account hacked. There are a lot of threads out there, and I figured people could use the same thread to post the message and have it verified, the same way this (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=996318.0) thread has them staked.

Do so in the same way you would have signed the recovery message for Cyrus and Theymos as presented here: Recovering hacked accounts or accounts with lost passwords (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=497545.0)

Someone will come along and verify the message, and if you are wanting to link to your original account you can try using this suggestion. [Suggestion] For anyone who had their account hacked (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4930565.0)

Edit: This thread is meant to work together with my band-aid fix in the last linked thread of this topic.
The secondary benefit would be to have all signed and verified messages of hacked accounts in one place.

The problem is that they're just not getting restored.

I am little bit confuse, " for what this thread?'' . There is another thread for stake address.

Four months ago LoyceV set up topic[1], then received the response[2], and minutes later he closed that topic.
It seems that this idea did not appeal to admins, they can unlock that topic.
So you're wasting your time, and recovering accounts are not just about signing/verify message because of account selling and then claiming to be hacked.

[1] Cyrus/theymos: can I save you time restoring hacked/lost accounts? (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3403885.msg35627426#msg35627426)

You'll be wasting your time and theirs. I was doing this when people have fully verified their accounts sufficiently, and the number of responses I've had from them both is zero and as far as I'm aware they're all still awaiting their accounts to be restored.

This topic is meant to be used in conjunction with this topic
 For anyone who had their account hacked (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4930565.0[Suggestion)

Or for anyone who doesn't feel the need to start their own thread and bump it continuously. It is in no way an attempt to assist with recovery but the secondary benefit could be a reduction in threads started about hacked accounts.

I am little bit confuse, " for what this thread?'' . There is another thread for stake address.

Your right, and that was given as an example in the first link in the post. This thread is for people who have been posting about their account having been hacked to place their signed recovery message as opposed to creating their own thread. See the top of this post for the why?



This isn't for everyone but it's the suggestion I have been giving to people as a way to link their hacked account with their new account. I am hoping by doing something like this we can avoid people going out and buying accounts, which has been suggested and then reposted by other members...
