What I dont unterstand is, why does jtnichol has 250 Merit but is still a Newbie?
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2150904.msg21517540#msg21517540

jtnichol
Newbie
Activity: 4
Merit: 250[/quote]

Because they deleted all of his posts and de-ranked yourself. 4 posts = 4 activity and it is Newbie rank. Before posts deleting user jtnichol2 was Sr.Member here.

Correct. 100%.  

My account was made in 2014. You can look at all those links up there and search through all my posts. They absolutely trashed this account in order to cover their track but I backed up every single fucking thing I could.

Here's the 4 main topics they started literally days after my hacked account was sold to them.

Topic 1: Their Big Round of Fundraising in September 2017.
https://web.archive.org/web/20180419131610/https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2174708.0

Topic 2  - Chinese Announcement:  https://web.archive.org/web/20180419141127/https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2170292.msg21750732#msg21750732

Topic 3 - The Bounty Program (spam and earn tokens)
https://web.archive.org/web/20180419141144/https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2151082.msg21519018#msg21519018

TOPIC 4:  This is the big one here.  This is the ANNOUNCEMENT landing page on BitcoinTalk for Open Platform’s Announcement of their ICO.
[ANN][ICO]:🔵 OPEN Platform🔵 The 1st Blockchain Applications Payments Platform!


These pages have been HEAVILY EDITED since it was originally made. They have backed off of having a public ICO and now are conducting a so-called “private pre-sale.”  Furthermore pages 2 - 59 feature their OLD company name “Open Money”  Then on Page 60 on comment number #1186 they SWITCHED to their new name “Open Platform”  https://web.archive.org/web/20180419161707/https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2150904.msg27845149

Anonymous developer walked a long time ago. There's a small community still around however.

Hey brother...Long time eh?

This is my  new account.
Do you guys still have Discord?

My original "jtnichol" account was hacked and sold to Open Platform.  Read my response about it here:  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2150904.msg48432711#msg48432711

I still hold hyper after all these years. Hope all well.

cheers

Ken Sangha - CEO of Open Platform.  You should give me back my Bitcointalk account. The OP of this whole thread "jtnichol" is my account after my account was stolen from me in August 2017 and sold to Open Platform. 

What kind of project shills a bounty program using a stolen persona and when it's revealed to them it was stolen they keep using it!?  Because this Bitcointalk account was a high value account with Sr. Membership, a shitload of merit, and lots of time on the forum.  Is it worth it?

This whole thread and my post/comment history has been deleted.  But it hasn't really....the internet never forgets.

You think you've deleted everything from Bitcointalk by deleting the OP topic and my old comments but in reality, nothing is gone.

You've tried to delete your Medium blog posts, Your Discord is a ghost town, Twitter posts? Not much lately.  Reddit? 10k subs and no one is there.  Your telegram is your basic line of communication now.

I've waited a year to get this account back. Nothing.

“jtnichol” entire comment history on Bitcointalk

January 28th 2016 my account profile snapshot including a Bitcoin address I used to have on Coinbase, a Hyper Crypto address which is a coin I promoted as a social media manager for about a year, my personal website and twitter handle: https://web.archive.org/web/20160128192739/https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=400781

This is the exact message containing a “signed” bitcoin message to a moderator/administrator on Bitcointalk allowed the hacker to secure and eventually transfer by BitcoinTalk handle to Open Platform.  This event took place August 25, 2017, 05:25:59 PM Every comment from that date forward was carried out under Open Platform.  https://web.archive.org/web/20180420142819/https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=996318.msg21199413#msg21199413

There's more too...but you get the point.  This team is a disaster and what you are doing to your investors is more than ridiculous.

Sorry I just saw this message from you.

I'm working on this issue at the moment.


I fuckin' lost 41 ETH in August from an exchange and I didn't know this account was compromised and then voila out of the blue I found out through Reddit my BTT account was hacked.  That was Feb. 16th.  Today is March 6th and they are still using it.  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=400781;sa=showPosts  

This Open Platform team is really something.

I'm gonna come out of this on top.  I can feel it.

Also... I have 9000 of the old Hyper on Bittrex. Is it just dust now?

I'm so out of the loop...I just wanted to let you know that I certainly most definitely go off the rails and start shilling Open Platform out of the blue.

Getting hacked takes it out of ya man...and these guys have information and email conversations with my hacker. I'd really like to know as much info as I can.  

It's preposterous really.

cheers.

All right I will try to get ahold of admins.

I used the wayback machine and got my Hyper Crypto address from my signature but that chain has forked away and now that address is useless I'm sure.  Damn...what a shit deal LOL.

I'll see if I can plead my case to one of the admins. Cyrus I guess?  or Theymos?  Anyone else you recommend?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for this.  Apparently this "signing" thing has already been done on my account. In fact, it was the first post from the hacked account. here's the link.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=996318.msg21199413#msg21199413

In fact the very next message after that was the ANN page by Open Platform...but I digress.

So now what?  Does that Bitcoin signed message effectively "lock" this account for good?

Even though my face can be seen in earlier posts via video?

EDIT:  By the way I really want to thank you for chiming in here.

Now Open Platform company is using it for their ANN Pages.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;threads;u=400781;sa=showPosts

They revealed to me accidentally in a PM on Reddit they bought my account from someone.

what can be done? All attempts to get the account back 5 days ago from them have failed. Not sure what to do.

I'm done talking to them and they are supposedly moving forward with private sale ICO or something today and won't be returning the account immediately.

here's a video of myself talking about the history of the situation.

https://youtu.be/kB35rBhrhBI

Thanks in advance for any guidance.

Just wanted to let the community know that my old account was hacked and sold to Open Platform.

I'm in the process of trying to get it back.

Anything you see from my old username "jtnichol" since August 25th 2017 is not me at all.

This "Open Platform" company is using my merit and account age to shill their ICO pre-sale.
