Here is the unedited post where I posted that address:

I have additional ways to confirm.

Doesn't verify for me. Admin's probably won't accept an eth addresses anyway so please provide other sources.

1. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2867045.msg29450595#msg29450595 here I used my telegram handle ( in all topics i used same telegram handle) @Popeatzza and anybody from the bitcointalk team can contact me trough that telegram account to prove it was me.

2. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3505436.msg36214170#msg36214170 five days ago I posted a link to my portfolio which is a google drive file and I can modify it as you want to prove that account is mine and also there you have a link to my freelancer.com profile, I can edit the description of that account too.

3. I can tell you all all my private messages from that account because there are just a few messages and recently sent, even if my account is created a long time ago.

4. I can send a screenshot with the emails I received when that person changed the password and email of my account. I also have the link to block that account  (which I already did) andI suppose is unique for every account.

5. I did the Romanian translation for Connecty ANN+Bounty project a week ago and now the account is linked to a russian email, so it is obvious that he stole the account from me.

6. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2867045.msg29450595#msg29450595 I also linked my twitter account to my bitcointalk account in this post and I can create a tweet about anything you want to prove it is my account.

Please tell me which method you prefer, I think I have enough proofs and is obvious that is my account.

Please tell me which method you prefer, I think I have enough proofs and is obvious that is my account.

Quote from theymos : "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."

This means, either you provide a Bitcoin address or PGP key that is associated with the account and are able to prove ownership of it. If you are unable to do either of these, then you are likely not going to receive your account back. As hilarious has said, they can't get the message to verify and neither can I. You're providing an unacceptable address, and even that doesn't check out.

Are there any PGP Key(s) or Bitcoin Addresses associated with the account?

[hilariousandco]

Please tell me which method you prefer, I think I have enough proofs and is obvious that is my account.

A signed message from a bitcoin address is likely the only thing that is going to get your account back. If you can't provide that then you should at least try sort the ethereum one out.

[riky95]

I don't have any BTC address or PGP key associated with that bitcointalk account. Honestly this is the only platform in the world where you can change password and email without an email confirmation, so you should do something about that because you can't secure you account enough. Of course that first of all it is my fault, but you also should do something about those confirmations. I provided a lot of evidence which proves that account it is mine, so if you don't want to restore the account, on the email it was since I created it until today when it was hacked, it is because you don't want to that, you have enough proves. Honestly why I would lose time to steal that account, it is a poor Jr. Member, but for me it is important because I built trust upon that account and now I have to do that again on other account in order to get accepted to translate new projects.

I can tell you what PM I sent or received in the whole history of that account, what bigger proof than that could be ?

In 1-2 hours I will get back home and I will try to make again that signed message for ethereum.

Then I personally wouldn't expect a positive outcome from your account recovery attempt.

I provided a lot of evidence which proves that account it is mine

Not the kind of evidence that is sought after in these scenarios, though. I also wouldn't claim your evidence to be conclusive by any measure. You provided a message that could not be verified.

I can tell you what PM I sent or received in the whole history of that account, what bigger proof than that could be ?

The bigger proof would be an associated Bitcoin Address or PGP Key that you can prove ownership of. PM history is not something that is used to verify ownership of your account, so I'm not sure why you believe that is substantial.

In 1-2 hours I will get back home and I will try to make again that signed message for ethereum.

Please attempt to verify the message yourself prior to posting it here, so that you know you've at least done that correctly.

I did a new signature:

  "address": "0xad2ddcb0ae79253e232a2d2708fbddece977b2d8",
  "msg": "My account RikyRO has been hacked/lost. Please reset the email to bogdy_batista@yahoo.com. The current date is 08th May 2018.",
  "sig": "0x19eb982f8254ed247b3a8b726d9a195625c66bde81f6970f08fc424a7956596a682f907ccd4ed 0261ea5b0dbf491e67beffe8a4f1e041cf68566a74f97f591b11c",
  "version": "3",
  "signer": "MEW"
}

Now I have tested it in both myew and etherscan to be sure that are working.

Sorry for my impulsive last post, I am really sorry about that, I hope you guys understand that it is frustrating to take it all again from zero.

Only admins can restore accounts and that's what they require.

Still doesn't verify for me on etherscan.

[AdolfinWolf]

Still doesn't verify for me on etherscan.

Yup, both of these have/give an invalid hex string. Very weird.

@riky95, instead of providing a screenshot, go to etherScan > Step 4 > Instead of the client side option, choose "Verify and Save (Can be later accessed via a Public URL)."

And then post the link here of the signed message.

An example of that would be something like this;  https://etherscan.io/verifySig/1000

[alegotardo]

Bitcointalk can't put the whole "sig" in a single line, so it is breaking the string and adding a space in it.
See...

It's important to use the "code" feature in these cases.

By removing this space i got it verify the message in etherscan.io and also in MyEtherWallet.

Verified!

[hilariousandco]

Yeah, works now.

Thank you very much for help, I didn't realize there is a space between those 2 characters, I will use the "code" feature for now on.
