Any other ways of proving a bitcointalk account is yours except signed messages?
I wanted to sell my account but buyers need a signed message of my btc address i posted months ago and that address wasn't mine anymore due to an update made by the web-based wallet i used (coins.ph)

Nothing really concrete, but can you not take a screenshot of the address if it's still logged there on coins.ph? That may satisfy some but not others but someone will likely buy your account without a signed message but it'll fetch less and I wouldn't recommend it.

Have you ever posted your twitter or fb account name for some giveaways or probably social media campaigns in the past ?, if yes and you are still have control with those accounts maybe it will help you to verify that you are real owner.

I see , but the address wasn't logged in there anymore, it was replaced with a new one


Can't remember, i think i only posted my email(i used to register here on bitcointalk) here

I found two emails from your post history.
28841796@mail2tor.com (post (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1057532.msg11344266#msg11344266))

plus a skype account named prettymm01. might be useful

This is why you shouldn't just use exchanges. I'd suggest associating an address with your account asap. Someone then may accept it as proof in the future though it wouldn't prove your account wasn't hacked before then.

just to inform all users, coins.ph is an exchange and you can't use their address to sign.


im using coins.ph too and the old address for each account is changed and no more shown in the account.

Is one of the two emails used in your account? If yes,  Probably you could ask buyer whether they accept the verification through the other email or skype! There is little chance the hackers would hack your account  or other independent email at the same time!

Yes, i still have access to those 2 emails and to my skype, i hope some buyer will consider that as a valid proof of ownership

How can i prove my account? i never posted my address before, only on PM transaction with members here.

If you have PMd other members any address, you can still try to recover by this post: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=497545.0
The principle is the same as publicly posted address, the only difference is you need a PM ID.

So the admin will read my PM that i sent to the buyer and everything is ok?

yes. as long as you use the proper template like the one from that thread.]

apparently badbear won't recover account that was already sold by the hacker (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1104753.msg11759540#msg11759540). I don't know if it's the same with theymos tho.

are you contacted coins.ph support ? may be he can give you acces to create signature or you can give screenshoot to prove your address :)
