Did some homework and I'm back with disheartening news. According to several posters in the Meta Section, it seems like there is no way to delete your own account nor to get it deleted. The best advice given is to change all your account details and walk away. This is, my opinion an unacceptable alternative, especially in the face of a hack like the one the forum just experienced.

I agree with Jeff. I would like to delete my account, could someone provide instructions on how to do so? I saw no such option under the profile section of the site.

Thanks

How many ^doges does it cost to buy my _freedoms?

very scrypt

That said, I am interested to learn more about altcurrencies. I am kicking myself for not buying in on BTC a few years back when I was seriously considering it. At the time it was just for goofs, because the idea of having some "secret internet money" in case things went awry seemed cool. But having looked at it more seriously, I really like the idea of currencies that are outside the folly of man and have limitations on growth rate and a hard cap on amount.
