Theymos not responding?

[Dorritulx_TEMP]

My account was hacked 3 days ago, I e-mailed 2 days ago and still nothing. What do I do? Theymos keeps coming online and I think he's ignoring me

Only theymos can recover my account and I sent him a signed message and everything...

He probably has a lot of work on and can't help everyone at one, if you sent him a PM in the correct account recovery form then I'am sure he will recover it for you soon.

Did you follow all instructions from this thread:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=497545.0

I think you can PM badbear about account recoveries too but not sure about that.

He doesn't ignore you, he's just really busy (that's the "official" answer you'll be getting).
Anyway, since there's always some blame with you when the subject of hacked accounts come up, recovering those accounts isn't high up on his priority list either.
Worst case, you're gonna have to wait several months like some others did(/do), so unless you're extremely lucky, get in line.

Accounts hacked ,passwords forgotted arent the main concern of admin these days be patient and maybe someone of them replyes here.

I only see him respond too individual cases such as yours once in a blue moon and he probably just lets themselves get a resolve from others that he has delegated such powers to anyways.

2 days is not a very long time to be waiting. In the meantime, just buy another account or just wait if you don't want to buy another account. He is probably very busy.

Recommending the OP to use a bought account meanwhile waiting for theymos to recover his account are patently absurd, in my opinion.

Well if he wanted to post from a more trusted account then why not. I thought that he might want to buy an account and continue posting for his signature campaign.

If you just want to participate in a discussion, there is no need to use a "trusted" account for such purpose.

Well, if that is the reason for this appeal, then I see no reason for theymos to recover his account.

Be sure you will have to wait maybe a long period till a reply.Makes no sense to buy an account just to avoid loosing income from signature.Did you checked if your account is active?

[Lutpin]

It was pretty actively scamming, yep.

Makes no sense to buy an account just to avoid loosing income from signature.

Let me quote his (former) accounts sig for you: "I don't post spam on the forum to earn off my signature".
Didn't see that one coming, did you?

Well if he wanted to post from a more trusted account then why not.

Maybe also take out a few reputation loans to get his trust back? [/sharkasm]
Do me a favor and just leave, please?

You gotta give Theymos some time. If you have a legitimate question/issue he will reply.

People have been waiting for months, dont expect a reply soon

theymos gets a ton of PMs everyday and he has a lot of work other than answering PMs. So you can't say he is ignoring you, just wait...

Best thing is try prevent your account getting hacked in future.

Try pmeing BadBear also. Be sure you have same ip with the new account you register and the account you want recovered.

Having the same IP doesn't necessarily help, if you're 100% sure that the account was hacked best thing you could do is provide proof to the admins with a signed message as noted here. This does take months though, I've only seen theymos recover accounts faster than that on extreme occasions.

If the account that was hacked was well-known (high trust rating, staff member - those sorts of scenarios) they're recovered fairly quickly to prevent scamming with them.

On the topic of using the same IP, I don't think that changes anything either when the staff look into recovering your account. They have other methods than just matching IP's up to accounts to verify that 'person x is under control of account y'.

What about when Alaki's account was recovered though? The account was recovered quickly (under 1 week I believe) and I don't think Alaki was very well known had a high trust rating, e.t.c.   Maybe this person will get lucky like Alaki did, but I doubt it. Some people like letyouearn have been waiting for months, without any communication from theymos.

Any update on this?

Theymos will be busy as hell & probably take a long time to get back to you. I understand your frustration with the situation though.

Do you think there is an update? Why are you so vested in this? Posting for sig money?
