My account was hacked and I didn't use a Bitcoin address..

[tbct_mt2]

The previous address that was on my profile was my Ethereum address, I can also prove ownership of that.

You can prove you own the account by signing a message with that address.

How to sign my Bitcoin Address?
I would like to do it in order to keep my account safely and for later use in the worst case when I lose control on my account.
Thanks.

That post in only a couple months old, it probably won't be accepted as proof.

I just looked through all my posts, there isn't another one.
I will surely cry if I don't get it back, 392 days and 750++ posts..

Well, this is depressing.

How to sign a Bitcoin address to prove ownership (archive): Thanks to shorena for the awesome tutorial.

Well, this is depressing.

The only thing you can do is - keep bumping the topic after every 24 hours and hope an admin/mod notice it and unlock it. There are no such time frame unfortunately. Good luck mate.

Do you know how your account was hacked? My password and email was changed at a similar time, and I haven't logged in for a long time.
Also, my password is secure. Imho seems like there is a security issue with the forum in general?

I think it's a security issue too, because I saw quite a few accounts hacked by the same IP address. Password and email changed too.
This is the address, 78.26.198.233. My email was changed to a YopMail email.
This forum software is 10 years old so no surprise if it's a security issue.

Lol, This happened because of the following reasons,

- OP used his/her password somewhere else the one he used for his BCT account.
- He got phished or social engineered.
- He got rekt by RAT.

I don't think there's anything else to happen, correct me if I'm wrong.

I mean, that's the higher possibility, but this forum is anything, BUT secure. 2FA would've helped, email change confirmation would've helped.
The software is 10 years old and yeah, maybe it's been upgraded, but this wouldn't be the first hack that happened to it, there are a few big ones that are public information.

Please admins, I am losing money on my PRiV airdrop and I was really depending on that money..

[trapatalce]

Well, good thing is, at the end of this, I'll have another nicely built account.

[trapatalce]

Positive thinking, expel all the demons.

Yea 2fa should work for sure, It doesn't matter even if the software is 10 years old Theymos keeps updating the code himself.
There's also a bug bounty thread for bitcointalk by theymos. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=309785.0

I see, still doesn't explain why we don't have 2FA yet.

Think positive and positive things will happen to you.

[trapatalce]

At least Bitcoin is on the rise.

I've posted my ETH Address here.
Should I try signing it?

Are you sure your account is only locked? If yes, do sign a message, if hilariousandco/some other global mod finds it enough to unlock your account, then do so. Sign a message saying this:

"address": "Your eth address",
  "msg": "Today's date. I, your username am in control of this wallet and my account has been locked. Please unlock this account",
  "sig": "...",
  "version": "...",
  "signer": "..."
}

And, for the love of god don't fill the above quote just like that. Sign a real message,and post it here. To sign an eth message ,go here: https://www.myetherwallet.com/signmsg.html

For a locked account I guess a Global Moderator can unlock it. Not 100% sure but I guess I have seen somewhere hilary posted it. Excuse in advance if I am wrong for both hilary and Global Moderator 

Yeah, hilariousandco can. I don't know about other global mods tho.

wrong. hilariousandco can not. I have pmed him the signed message and a request to unlock my account but he told me to contact theymos and cyrus. which means i will most likely never get it back although providing all proof as requested!!!

Are you sure? That's what I found:

If you can provide reasonable proof that it's your account I can unlock it but not restore it.

I see Cyrus recovering a few accounts from time to time. You should just wait.

interesting. I wonder, what does restoring an account means?
I locked my account immediately after it was hacked. and all i need is to get it back on track, does it involve only unlocking or also restoring?

[Crypto_Sassy]

The previous address that was on my profile was my Ethereum address, I can also prove ownership of that.

You can prove you own the account by signing a message with that address.

Unless Theymos and Cyrus make an exception for you to recover this account , you have no chance.
I read somewhere "mprep" saying Theymos did not give any guidelines for staked ETH address for taking as valid proof.

It is bitcoin forum, Theymos will ask for bitcoin staked address only.
Might your proof /validity may help in DT to tag that account.
