Bitcoin Forum

So I went to log in after being inactive for a year or and you can probably guess the rest.

Account was compromised, I shed a tear, and moved on UNTIL NOW!

I'm going to try and get my account back emailing the address listed in the Recovery thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5089777.0

I never did a public address that I signed but I do have several posts selling physical bitcoins with various personal btc address that are still public, one of them is 1ApFyvXqh1wFCU2XZRh52jU1xvtkHLWxqc which I had publicly posted here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1464893.msg14785092#msg14785092

That is still my btc address on one of the exchanges I use. Is there anything I can to prove I still have control of this address and send them that you think/know they will/will not accept?

Here's the account that was taken from me. IBGigglin

MY last post was 39    Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] DARKNET [DNET] QRK ALGO - PoW/PoS   on: July 17, 2016, 12:57:54 PM
All posts after that were not me

I have some old auctions of physical lealana litecoins that had visuals of other public keys in the background. I can check my safety deposit box and see if I still have any of the corresponding bits if anyone thinks that may help?

The negative rep on account is from me and minerjones who I reached out to when I came back about it being compromised as we used to trade Ravenbit physical coins all the time.   

Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

It's possible to recover it even without a staked address so long as you have an old email address linked to the account. I also did manage to recover mine without any staked address. The only difference is I did lock mine and you didn't lock yours, but I would still suggest you email them with the details. Make sure to be precise.

You can try and follow the steps I did to recover mine Hacked accounts recovery team is doing great, Don't just give up yet! (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5099552.msg49313923#msg49313923)
Goodluck!

Thank you. I'll submit my tails of woe in a few hours. Appreciate it.

The account is locked, pending review. Thanks.

@OP, Good luck with the review and I hope you'll get back the access to your account soon.

Account recoveries has indeed been impressive as of late, Kudos to the mods.

Good news: Got an e-mail back from them in 2 days! :o

Not so great news: As expected they're requesting I sign a message with my address but that's an address on an exchange so that's not possible.  ::) :P

I've sent them another email regarding my situation to resolve the issue.

We shall seeee.  ;D

One more thing...

Here's one of my posts Jan 21st 2016

SAME COUNTER TOP AS MY PROOF PICS IN OP.  ;D


Oh yeah, and please no one else leave neg feedback on IBGigglin, Mods have the account locked now so that's good. I dont want to have to message 100 people if I do get my account back to remove the neg trust.

Thanks everyone.

Am very quite confident you will get your account back. If they consider the IP address you used for registering the account or look at the IP address logs over time and how they changed before and after the hack then that should be part of the evidence that you are the owner.

Another very good evidence is that you own the email you used for registering.

Except for the fact that they usually don't take email adresses/IP's as valid evidence. Emails can be hacked, etc.

However given the circumstances, and looking at all the pictures provided by OP, i myself would be fairly confident that he is infact the rightful owner of the account.

Yes Emails can be hacked, am not ruling that out. Sincerely, if you account plus the email are compromised then I guess the best thing to do is move on if you cannot recover the original email that was used for registering it

But the fact that the user is messaging from the original email requesting for recovery alongside with the help of the IP address logs of the account over time, then it somewhat helps in recovering the account  bitcointalk account to the rightful owner

Update

Mods have e-mailed me back. They seem pretty adamant on signing a message with a public address I posted.

For what it's worth admins have surprisingly helpful. Not only responding in a timely manner but doing active research on their own to determine if my requests for proof of ownership are legitimate.  I'm confident this will be resolved sooner than later.

Account Recovered. I'll be posting this and below as Nah-256 for proof it's me who gained access to my rightful account. Thank you for everyone who helped. Got a couple people I'll be reaching out to remove neg trust that we slapped on this account when I had it locked. Thanks to the BCT admins as well. Once they had a pretty good feel that I was the true owner of this account they were very helpful as well as secure.

Keep an eye out in goods/auctions I'm going to do a giveaway as thanks.

IBGigglin was recovered and this account will go dark after I tie up some loose ends with a few users. Thanks again everyone.

Thank you iasenko & Minerjones for flagging my account with neg trust while I regained access. Please remove negative feedback. I have PMed you both from here and nah-256. Thank you guys.

Happy to hear that. As I wrote you in the PM, I've changed my negative feedback to neutral.
Good luck and I hope it won't happen again.
Anyway if you need any help let me know :)

Welcome to our forum again. Its really enjoying to see someone recovered his locked account by the help of forum authority. Waiting to see your best works in the future for forum community.
