I have both the ledger nano s and the trezor and neither of those wallets support either ETC or Monero.

It was a star trek joke. Right off the cuff too. There has to be someone here who can appreciate. I thought you were my people.

Water damage doesn't sound too bad, have you attempted to recover some data?

Starting to feel shity exchanges are rather safe after all the boating accidents and machine washing Moneros:) I had a paper wallet gone with wind, and a few days ago i found it when i was packing to move homes once again:) so i actually have a few BTC that are not balls deep in alts. might throw it monero way.

Update: I'm BACK!!!

Big PROPS to "Cyrus" who responded very quickly and got my account reset for me tonight.

I was expecting to wait a week and/or have to maybe accept my account was lost... but he came thru with flying colors.

Excellent work... thanks.

And thanks to y'all for the support here too.

Actually I *DO* still have access and control of the ORIGINAL email account that "KeyJockey" here was set up with 4 years ago. And I can say WHEN the hack happened (ie which of my last posts were real, were MINE, and what IP ADDRESS they likely came from (and when the hackers IP for his posts under my name likely CHANGED)...

Lots of easy ways, I think, to PROVE that I was hacked and deserve to have the account restored to ME...

BUT unfortunately I can't find WHO or WHERE to ask for this HELP

Are sub-forum Admins or Moderators able to fix stuff like this OR only Theymos himself? The "top man" alone able to send a password reset link to an accounts ORIGINAL email maybe, after an improper change hack like this....?

OR really, what should I be trying to do here?  BtcTalk setup for support is terrible

This coin is really from the monero devs? I can not find any information about this. Do you have a source? I think it is a real competitor, but there is no information which makes me think that Ricardo or his people are involved there.

Most Alts are up, XMR is up no doubt but its just one of the pack at the moment.

Well, I'll be checking this thread from time to time to see if I can help.

Russian is my mother tongue.

I don't know if there is any exact solution, Elwar.    Losing 85 bitcoins in one shot is a pretty big deal, and I have suffered some similar losses - but mine was through forced phone porting and simultaneously gaining access to two of my main e-mail accounts.  

Localbitcoins, is a tougher deal in terms of dealing directly with the public and also possibly gaining some exposure because these folks learn that you have coins and also might learn too much about your personal details and your possible bitcoin hodlings, and gosh we likely have to take additional precautions regarding how much we expose ourselves and our coins.. and even if it might be inconvenient to NOT store too many coins in such a way such as on local bitcoins or some of the wallets that we might use in our trading?  

There are attempts at plausible deniability, too, with some wallets, which maybe relates to how we store our coins, but these various devices and systems are still evolving, and if we want security, we have to learn how to employ these mechanisms in ways that maybe even makes it difficult for ourselves to get easy access to some aspects of our BTC stash.

In late August / early September, there were a couple of weeks in which I removed my localbtc advert because people were acting too crazy, and I was also feeling vulnerable in various regards because of how many coins I had in certain wallets and exchanges, including coins I had on local bitcoins and on my blockchain.info wallet.. and a lot of this additional vulnerability came from what seemed to be a sustained price increase that largely took us from the lower $1k prices to approaching $5k.. and then the small number of coins that I had in some locations, started to look like a lot of money.

So, keeping only a couple of coins in each location could be a partial solution, but it might not prevent nor discourage a more serious and determined attacker with guns and spotlights.. so what to do, what to do,?  and maybe even lessening local bitcoin's profile could be a solution, because even if you can increase your bitcoin holdings every year by trading at a premium, it might not be worth the risk to trade so much on local bitcoins, unless extensive precautions are taken?  

I certainly do not have a complete grasp on my various vulnerabilities and there are a couple of places that I likely maintain too many coins, a couple of exchanges, which could cause some problems on various levels whether it is just third party risk or if it is a kind of forced extortion risk (which is probably not a great likelihood, but it becomes a bit of a bigger likelihood when more bad people learn about bitcoin - and we have heard that some people kill over stealing an iphone, so if they can get a hold of 1 bitcoin, they might engage in worse actions to extort... and at what point are we safe?  And what are good measures to take? 

These are likely ongoing questions that we need to figure out including figuring out successorship issues too.. because it would be sad to accumulate a lot of coins, and then no one in the family gets access to them because they cannot figure out holding amounts nor passwords nor other security measures.. OMG.   

So I gave my nieces and nephews some bitcoins a few years ago and they have the addresses.

But it looks like they'll miss out on the Bcash giveaway. Should I chance withdrawing their Bcash and add the funds to their current address or not risk it?

Bullish.

Numerically that hasn't really held true. I've looked the data and both XMR and most other alts are highly correlated with BTC (and each other). XMR is actually more toward the "more correlated" end of the spectrum.

There are maybe some exceptions but for the most part if you are buying or holding any in particular, you are either betting on a decoupling in your favor (over some time horizon might be short or long), or hoping that the relatively small residual is in your favor (of course both can be the case).
