Here is the unedited post where I posted that address:

I have additional ways to confirm.

Sign message verified but according to the sticky thread that you can find here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=497545.0
You must PM this directly to Cyrus (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=78147)

However, I don't know if you can still recover it, do you have any access to this address "0x2998dc710AE4369963a29171BB0730bE0cDDd38a" which I think old address and the best as a proof that you own this account. If you can sign message with that address just post it here to verify that you own that account.

You put a wrong date. I can't understand how or why you mistaken it.


However, altcoin addresses can't help you provve the ownership of your lost account, only btc addresses!
This is mentioned in the sticky thread for hacked accounts.
Unfrtunetly, you will not be able to recover it without a signed message from a posted btc address or a pgp signature.

Your "hacked" account was copy/pasting shitposts:

Original:

Don't put too much effort into getting your account back, it will be most likely permabanned.

Edit:

Good news, your account has won a permanent forum vacation:

Original post:
Looks interesting Dev. I will look forward to the Airdrop program and the bounty campaign. Hope not to miss the opportunity to join. Waiting for more news and information from you. Good luck

Another hacked account. I am wondering how these hackers do to hack an account. Is it really easy for them to do this? I can't Imagine why there are people like this who do like to hack accounts not only in BCT accounts. I can't believe why they do this when in fact they were smart and could earn money in an a good way. Well, what else should we do? Secure account with two way factor or change pass every other month maybe?

I would guess that they are getting access to the email accounts attached to the passwords. Most likely the emails attached to the accounts expire. Satoshi himself was victim of the disaster that is gmx. It's really bad. I've lost access to several gmx email accounts myself. It looks like there is a very short period of inactivity allowed before you risk it getting deleted. Then they could register the same account again and gain access.

Other possibility is database breach from either email or the forum itself.

The incentive to steal BCT accounts is obvious, they have value, specially ranked ones, because of the reputation they have, they usually use it for ICO's, bounties, advertising, and they can also sell it to someone else for BTC.

We really need a way to recover accounts soon. I hope theymos delivers on this somewhere next year.
