This is silly and a waste of time. I don't think Theymos intends to do the right thing and change all passwords to have sufficient entropy until they are reset by email, so I am going to walk away from my account and close my email previously associated with the account. The trolling and the hack was merely the straw that broke the camels back... this forum has been going downhill for a while.
Goodbye bitcointalk.
If you arent back in 6 months, i'll donate all my btc to charity |

for the first you are just paranoid that he doesnt have a username and that he hasnt posted in some time, if you look at his post history, a few years ago, most of his posts were in the german section, although he speaks english now, if you look closely, it is obviously not his first language, he probably received the email today and decided that he will come back About the first: the account was originally in possession of a German, who started a service that soon turned into (possibly) the second largest ponzi here at bitcointalk. He claimed to have sold the account to another German, who then claimed to have sold to a Russian. Nobody knows if the original account ever changed owners in the first place. But today, the account came back with a very fluent English speaker, potentially with a Dutch origin. Paranoid I may be, but that does not mean that I'm wrong  I reviewed a few of his posts, i wouldn't say his English is "very fluent" and why did you give him negative trust without being sure he is a hacker? |

>Yeah I've seen some old accounts just started posting again today after years of not being used Sad.
How is this going to change above? The hacked accounts make it pretty clear that either the passwords weren't salted, or the hackers managed to do much more than garb a db of password hashes & emails. Theymos did say he was rooted :
You cannot assume Theymos is lying and the database wasn't salted. We don't know if the security question was encrypted and salted as well. Any old accounts compromised likely used easy passwords or easy security questions. Forcing a password reset where the recovery must happen through email will protect all those accounts unless the user were ignorant enough to use the same password for their email account as here.
its not a matter of having throwaway emails, its a matter of not having made an email at all, just putting something where you should put your email address.
Most of those are probably shill accounts... what type of idiot doesn't spend 5 minutes to create an extra throwaway email for security or spam? Any person that doesn't do this and fails to reset in a week deserves to become a newbie again. I am sure there may be 1-2 anonymous heroes accounts who have to become newbies again. That is a small price to pay for good security. well its either using a fake non-existent email or using a fake email which u wont remember the credentials for or arrange an hour a week to clear spam out of your email, the first is the obvious winner for the first you are just paranoid that he doesnt have a username and that he hasnt posted in some time, if you look at his post history, a few years ago, most of his posts were in the german section, although he speaks english now, if you look closely, it is obviously not his first language, he probably received the email today and decided that he will come back |

Alot of people use fake emails since no confirmation is needed when you signup, and what if i lost the password to the email that i signed up with?
They have a week to manually reset and update their email address. It is very irresponsible to setup an account and lose track of your throwaway email credentials. Any other accounts will be lost unless its a known member who can prove its them to theymos directly. This would be a good opportunity to clear off many garbage shill accounts as well as they are more likely using fake email accounts. Its not the end of the world if a few old anonymous accounts get frozen either and is a much better alternative than a bunch of compromised accounts start scamming people. its not a matter of having throwaway emails, its a matter of not having made an email at all, just putting something where you should put your email address. The hacked accounts make it pretty clear that either the passwords weren't salted,
What hacked accounts? |

What needs to happen for security is any accounts that do not have their password reset manually within a week should have their passwords revoked and automatically reset where they can only be recovered with an email being sent with a recovery link to the address on file.

I've already seen several suspicious accounts which I've noted down mentally.
The thing is, many old users left bitcointalk for a long time but they received an email saying they need to change their passwords, therefore an influx of old users will come back |

I need a loan for 10 BTC. I need it to get away from my abusive father until I can find someplace permanent. I do have money but its with my friend and I can't get it until memorial day weekend. I do not have a collateral because everything valuable I own has been broken by my father. If I had anything I would give it to you. The only things I have are my laptop (Dell Latitude D620) and my bitcoin wallet account. Please help. Know that CPS has been contacted several times and they have done nothing. Please. I'm not going to scam you. Please private message me if you want to give me the loan and I will give you my wallet number. Please no hate.
why dont you go to the police? how old are you? how are you going to change the btc into fiat? what are you planning to do which costs well over $2000 USD? |

Why would someone ever want to donate so much amount as to make it up to 10 BTC
If you really think you can reach this goal , choose a proper Escrow and talk to him and always send small amounts you have to him and when you think you have collected enough , ask him to give you
the only problem i have with this is that escrows are humans too, they die and if they die, my btc dies with them, i've always had this fear when dealing with people over the internet, if the forum takes the money and keep a record of how much i have donated, I'd be happy with this, i think that even if theymos dies, this forum will go on |

I saw this earlier too, i thought it was just me so i didnt say anything, what is the use of this character? im sure it means nothing

which they send tips to every now and again (when they have BTC to spare) and when their total tipped reaches 10 BTC, their account gains donator status,
Make an address yourself and send all your spare btc there. Once you reach your 10 or 50 , just send it to the donations address. You shouldn't need to rely on the forum to keep it for you. Other donator status can be implemented but what more could you ask for? The 10 or 50 statuses are enough in my opinion. If i have access to the money, there is no doubt that i'm gonna spend it but a good idea tbh |

Most people here on the forum cant afford to send the forum 10 BTC but we still want to help the forum out, how about this, each user has an address which they send tips to every now and again (when they have BTC to spare) and when their total tipped reaches 10 BTC, their account gains donator status, this is great for those of us who don"t have alot of BTC lying around.
You can donate as much or as little as you wish here: https://bitcointalk.org/donate.htmlDoubt anybody will ever get anywhere near 10btc in smaller donations nor would anyone likely want to. People like me who dont use money in their country or exchange for fiat would like this system, its the only way that some users here are going to get donator status, no-one really has 10 or 50 BTC lying around |
