Hello everyone,

Since a almost a year I stopped "Bitcoin Altcoin activity" to focus into my study.
In other word I don't login here very much since a year.
It's not the first time I try to reconnect with my account but It's finally today that I realise that someone use my identity, account.

Currently, the account "onepix" isn't use by its creator who is me https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=160153

If you take a look here : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=160153;sa=showPosts;start=20
Or juste https://i.imgur.com/r3amwoI.jpg

You will see my last message on: June 04, 2014, 08:50:16 PM and the next one is on: January 23, 2016, 03:28:31 AM.
So every post from January 23 are not from me.
Look this one : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1337064.msg13654603#msg13654603
Seems like the man knows what he is talking about, how more ironic that could be  Angry

I received like you an email from this forum "Bitcoin Forum: Password change required" on 24/05/2015.
Given that I don't remember if I had change my password (but I think I did), perhaps its explain how my account was steal, if it's that.

How can I retrieve my account given that he change my email ?
That's really disturbing and I want to get back on track into this forum, with my account.

Best !

Read this thread, to find out how to recover your account.
I warn you, even if you find a staked address and sign a message, it isn't an easy/quick process.  Smiley

Do you have access to the email address that was once linked in it? Your email that you used before? Also you will need to have a signed message from an address that you have staked before when it was still in your possession. In most cases that you don't hae either or you can't prove it any way that it is you who owns the account, it will more likely not be given back to you. Your only option is to report that the account is no longer yours and admin can lock or eiter ban the account to prevent others from accessing it.

Yes, I still use the email !
I'm sorry but I don't understand what a staked address / message is... could you explain a little bit please Lips sealed ?
Yea I understand, that's normal..

I have an email from this forum which tell me "You have just been sent a personal message by X on Bitcoin Forum." with the content of the private message.
Given that it's a private message, that mean only the owner of the account can have the access.
Could it be enough to claim that I'm the owner ?
Or
Also, I have post into french sub-forum (obviously I'm fench) long time ago.
Can I ask to compare ip adress from this time to the one I currently use to send this message ?

Anyway, thank you both for information, for sure if I can't retrieve my account back I'll report him.

staked address = bitcoin address that you've posted in the forum.

signing a message (how to) from an address posted long ago will prove that you're the owner. but I just went through your post history and I didn't find any bitcoin address that was posted before January.

edit:

you can request a password reset via email from here (make sure you don't tick the "ask me my question"). a password reset link will be sent to the email of that account.
of course this will only works if that account still uses the same email.

Looks like you're fucked since there are no BTC addresses posted for you to sign. Might as well just move on and forget about this account.

of course this will only works if that account still uses the same email.

Finally I get it now, thank you for these informations !
It had to be only BTC address ?
Because I post many other Altcoin adress to get some coins via GIVEAWAY, it's the same thing isn't it ?
I check and for instance, I post my DigiByte public adress https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=412585.msg4548268#msg4548268
I open the wallet associated, I see a little amount received by the giveaway and the same public key so I still have the Priv key associate.
Plus I can "sign a message" as explain the post you share.
It could be enough in your opinion ?

About the password request, the field says "Username/Email"
So I put the email it says
Quote
An Error Has Occurred!
That username does not exist.
and when I put the login "onepix" which is the account I'm looking for it says :
Quote
Bitcoin Forum Password Reminder
A mail has been sent to your email address. Click the link in that mail to set a new password.
But no email in mail spam or something. The "hacker" has probably change the email.

Ok, I think it's becoming more clearer.  Smiley
If I may ask you few more things, should I create a post to only ask DT members to tag the account as hacked in Meta sub-forum ?
Should I ask theymos right now after doing the sign part ?
Should I sign with every Altcoin key I can (as DigiByte) or it's useless, one is enough ?

DT users should act once they verify the signed message in the hack claim thread (here).

I don't quite understand the second question. just PM theymos using the format that botany linked. doesn't matter if you post the signed message here first or not.

one should be enough as long as it's not from some buggy coin (again there's no guarantee that you'll get your account back).

Big thanks to people who try to help me in this post.
Special one to --Encrypted-- who guide me very well and answer all my questions.
As already explain, my account "onepix" is hacked.
By the signature below I hope to convince DT users to tag "onepix" account as hacked.

Code:
-----BEGIN BITCOIN SIGNED MESSAGE-----
This is the real person behind onepix pseudo from bitcointalk.org and today is 2016.03.28.
My account onepix is hacked and don't have any control on it.
Hacker started to use my account on January 23, 2016, 03:28:31 AM.
I had control on my account before this date and I posted my DigiByte public key on January 16, 2014, 04:50:48 PM.
I never edited the post, the topic is locked and you can find it here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=357124.msg3847995#msg3847995.

forgot to mention this (my bad), but you need someone trusted to verify that message. seeing that digibite doesn't have any online signed message verifier.

btw the link you provided took me to a post by shorena with no address whatsoever. I think you mean this > https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=412585.msg4548268#msg4548268

I don't find an online signed message verifier too, which mean basically that someone who want to verify it need to do it via DigiByte Wallet here http://www.digibyte.co/choose_wallet
In other word, that force people to do "boring" actions in order to help me.
Well, I hope people are in a good mood haha

Cant you transfer the account directly? I can hold the account, but I dont see a reason why I should. Unless you are asking for a (partial) refund here.

I successfully retrieve my account ... that was not expected but "fair" at least  Cheesy

Just stake a btc adress into the appropriate topic ?

Yes, stake an address and make sure you can sign a message with the staked (bitcoin!) address. Have a strong password, dont use the security question, use a mail address that you can access and have a strong password for the mail address as well.
