Well, it has corrected itself right now, it's kinda stable, but doesn't seem very trustable, I still wouldn't buy right now. Might go down again.

Try again, I guess?

What you are saying is that the after you clicked on the lock account link, you never got access to your account ever again?

That is exactly what I'm saying. There's this system where you "stake" your bitcoin address, meaning you post it in a dedicated thread and with that you can prove ownership of the account, such a flawed thing. Nobody promotes that, until I got my account hacked I didn't even know that existed.

Nevremind that, I've proven my identity with an Ethereum address, but who the fuck cares? You can find my thread in my profile, it's one of the only ones I've started.

No, locking the account is just a preventive measure, this way you will be sure the hacker will be unable to use this account for frodulent activities (scamming other users, posting links to phishing websites/malwares...)

You can recover your account by proving it is yours. You can read more about how to do that here: Recovering hacked accounts or accounts with lost passwords
You have to be patient though  Grin

Except the mods don't really give a shit, unless you use their shitty "staking" system, which they tell you to use after your account gets hacked.. Even then, it's a matter of chance and praying to the mod gods or some shit..

I'm not sure what this is based on, but the market won't go bull just because Ethereum forked or increased in price. I believe 2019 will bring a rise to the market, but not a 2017 bull-like market. I'm gonna keep investing in small cap alts like zero, leverj, 0coin and Conceal.network and just hold it for a long period of time.

Yeah, you should blame the admins so your account won't be recovered and get ignored as long as you live. But even if you can get patient enough and wait until theymos for a year he doesn't even read a single word to your thread though.
It's been 5 months since my account was hacked. Did the mods help me recover it? No. Could I recover it if I didn't use their "lock this account" thingy? Yes, the email was changed to a yopmail address.
They tell me to lock my account if I didn't authorize the changes and then tell me you can't prove ownership of this account after I fucking proved it? Fuck that.

They don't give a fuck for us, what happened to BTCTalk 2.0? Supposedly, that was supposed to be better and more modern, I hope more secure, but that's dead now it seems.

Give me some security features, we need 2FA, especially in this crypto world.

Yes, blaming other doesn't help and I mainly blame myself for not securing my account better, but the mods are offering a feature that they're not willing to enforce, can't blame myself for that.

I want to ask traders. What strategy makes sense when looking at the crypto market situation that is red. Besides observing the charts and their movements, I think patience is really needed in this case.
Please share a little of your experience of trading successfully.

Thank you for your time.

Right now, I think BTC is a pure gamble, just flip a coin and x100 leverage it.
27  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: which is the good coin for gambling on: December 11, 2018, 02:34:59 AM
I couldn't really understand what you said there. Do you want a coin that specializes in gambling or you want a coin that you can gamble with?
28  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Unity in the Lowest Dip on: December 11, 2018, 02:31:50 AM
There's no way of doing what you're saying. The market is already manipulated, so much that it has become a gamble, just flip a coin and x100 leverage it, if you need to trade so bad and get out of the shit.
29  Other / Meta / Re: Hero Member account locked! @ADMIN on: December 10, 2018, 09:45:08 PM
I hope you get your account back, as a general rule, mine and lots of other experiences, if your address isn't "staked", no admin is gonna do shit.
Damn, you got Hero Member rank and 511 merit, not easy to achieve. Hope you get it back, good luck!

Apparently, my account got hacked on the 1st November by the unknown hacker for unknown reasons.

First of all, my password was secure atleast with 3 capital letters, 6 numeric numbers and the rest was just small letters.

It came as a surprise when I tried logging just now, but I was unable due to the unknown hacker my account. The next move that anyone would take after, would be recovering the password using the email. Then again, the email was invalid.

Then I headed to bitcointalk search box and tried searching the account user name, it showed up and indicated that it was last active this morning, and proceed to show last posts and noticed that the new owner is making use of it by participating in signature campaigns and social media campaigns, and probably hacking some forum users. This individual is impersonating me and in a way ruining my reputation since I am not well aware what he uses the account for. 

Enough about that, let head over to the forum security now.

After I released that the account email and passwords were changed, I then headed to my mailbox, searched bitcointalk on the search box to find out what really happened, and guess what happen; this happened:


This is what was happening, the bitcointalk team was telling me that the email has changed. I mean, what happened to " Confirm that you are changing the email by clicking this option? Even a site that was built a day ago has that.

The admin should do a better job in securing the forum because at the moment, I don't consider it safe, how can users not confirm the emails addresses they are changing? instead, they get a notification inform them that the email changed whereas the user didn't change it. Sometimes, we take more than month without accessing the forum, so the 14 day notification doesn't do much- look at me now.

Now my Snr Member account is hacked, when will I rank as senior again since they have introduced this merit system?
Please do something about this, there have too may complain regarding hacked account.

This is my email looked before the hack - 1 November. Bitcointalk PMs:


You should definitely blame the admins, as do I. My account was hacked this summer, it had a secure password, but this forum is not secure at all, there's no email confirmation about changing the email address, no 2FA and what grinds mt gears is "If this change wasn't made by you, lock your account".

I clicked that link, and now both the hacker and I are locked out of my account, I had a thread active for more than a month, a few high ranking members verified that I'm genuine, but no, the admins don't give a fuck.

It took me more than a year to rise that account from the ground, 750+ posts and 101 merit, that is not easy to attain right now.
31  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin is worst investment ever on: November 27, 2018, 02:05:40 PM
i bought bitcoin when it was for $14 k
now it's less than $4k. i lost +10k per one bitcoin.

Bitcoin is worst investment ever i could imagine.

Well, depending on who you ask. You didn't know shit about trading and you invested in it at 14K and so did I in an altcoin that was falling around the same period you did.
If you ask someone who invested at the beginning of last year or earlier, they'd say it's an amazing investment.

Doesn't seem like it, but I'd like to see some go in the right direction.
33  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Will cyptocurrency never be great again as it was? on: November 27, 2018, 02:02:32 PM
It'll be fine, it's an emerging technology, many factors that try to pull it down, governments, banks , institutions, whales... It'll go back to growing at some point.

Well, goodbye lakimens, have fun in the depths of the database, dead, but not forgotten.
36  Other / Meta / Re: My account was been hacked on: August 17, 2018, 12:24:48 AM
You can use the same Gmail account to regain your account by recovering your password via Gmail. But you need to make sure that your vys account is already linked to your Gmail account. good luck
Can you explain how to do this?

Doesn't make sense to me. If I did read this correctly, the hacker changed the email, he must have changed the pass by now too. There are logs where you can check this or you can ask a mod. Your yopmail should be useless by now and not linked to the forum.

Anyway, im sorry to be the realistic here, but you will most likely not recover the account. It's a Full Member account, and you only have an ETH account.

There are Legendary members with BTC signed addresses that don't get their account back as well:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3652698.0

This doesn't mean you should stop trying. Send it to cyrus and theymos and wait. I don't think there's any strict rule against bumping your own thread from time to time, don't spam and you should be ok.
Doesn't mean you should stop trying, but you're not getting it back, no admin on here cares about you, I wish there was a good alternative to this forum.
37  Other / Meta / Re: My account was hacked and I didn't use a Bitcoin address.. on: August 11, 2018, 12:02:09 AM
Even if someone did know the password.. Give me 2FA, give me an option to undo the changed email address, give me customer support... Nah, fuck you lakimens.
38  Other / Meta / Re: My account was hacked and I didn't use a Bitcoin address.. on: August 07, 2018, 01:52:25 AM
Why do I even try?
39  Other / Meta / Re: My account was hacked and I didn't use a Bitcoin address.. on: August 06, 2018, 01:34:49 PM
Believe and you will achieve.

The light at the end of the tunnel. This is either a very, very long tunnel, or I am going through it at the speed of a snail.
