Did you follow that and PM cyrus? If you post the signed message here I can verify it but not restore access to it.

Not unless you can sign a message properly from a bitcoin address.

what you explain further about what that means?
Should I just find a post that includes my btc address only? And if I couldn’t find one there is no other way?

hi, I would like to ask what is the signature that you are talking about here? so that when I get hack I can easily recover my account.

Would sending a pic of my ID card help? Since username matches with my real name?

[hilariousetc]

It may or may not. You'll have to contact either theymos or cyrus and see if they will accept that as proof but I wouldn't count on it.

they never respond tho.

[hilariousetc]

Well they likely won't if you haven't provided sufficient evidence. Maybe just keep bumping this thread once a day or so and PM them once a week. All you can do is wait unfortunately but if you can't adequately prove the account is yours you might just be out of luck.

ID is a great proof IMO

Hey, can you respond to my PM? I don't have an address on my hacked account, but I sent some pretty damning proof that it's me. I also got dooglus to verify my identity via Just-Dice so he tagged my old account.

Not necessarily, but deepens if an admin will accept it.

I can't restore accounts. Not sure how sending a message on another site is watertight proof either. How does anyone know if that account isn't compromised as well?

An admin could check the ip of log-ins I guess?
The account obviously started logging in from a totally new ip

Read the sticky in Meta as it lays out what is accepted proof.

I never signed my btc address that's why.
isn't that what you are referring to?

Okay, can you lock my stolen account at least? Just-Dice uses a unique log in which is not the username displayed in public. Further, I signed in JD using 2FA on my iPod which was set up in 2013. Dooglus can confirm this much. I also staked my YouTube channel in 2013-2014 which happens to have a piano video. In the same video, I did put a message that I did get hacked on BTCtalk and the date. I took a picture with the same piano, same watch, same carpet, same chair, 3 years later.. Heck, I can probably still play the same piece 3 years later.

How many times does it need to be stated? Read the damn sticky!
If you can not prove ownership, why should the account be locked?

Recovering hacked accounts or accounts with lost passwords

If you use any sort of Google email service, then the password recovery email will go to your spam folder.

If you want us to recover a hacked/lost account, you need to prove that you own it. Typically, the only acceptable method of proving ownership is by signing a message (including current date and desired new email address) using a Bitcoin address or PGP key associated with the account. A Bitcoin address or PGP key is associated with the account only if the account posted the key/address, sent it in a PM, or if it is still listed in the account's profile.

I very rarely recover accounts if you can't prove ownership as described above. There are alternative ways of proving ownership, but they take too much time. If I point you to this thread, you can't prove ownership properly, and then I ignore your future PMs, this means that I'm not going to recover your account. Create a new one.

Send one PM to either me or Cyrus. When sending a PM, use a template like this:

Quote
-----BEGIN BITCOIN SIGNED MESSAGE-----
My account <account> has been hacked/lost. Please reset the email to <email>. The current date is <date>.
-----BEGIN SIGNATURE-----
<insert address here>
<insert signature here>
-----END BITCOIN SIGNED MESSAGE-----

Here is the unedited post where I posted that address: ...
OR
I sent that address to someone in a PM with PM ID#...

All required info must be in one PM.

Do not create your temporary account using the same email address you want for the hacked/lost account. No two accounts can have the same email address.
