Account reactivation timeline?

[bmoconnotoo]

I tried to log into my old account (bmoconno) and when I do I get a message saying that because it was inactive for a long time and existed when the 2015 password hash dump happened it has been blocked. It provides an email address like reactivate...@bitcointalk.org to get it unlocked. I sent an email the other day (from the email address registered to the account) and haven't heard anything back yet... is this still the correct email address to use? Or does it usually just take some time before someone looks it over?

Any insight here would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Some things changed since them.

Try following this procedure, instead: Recovering hacked/lost accounts

Thanks, TryNinja!

I'm wondering if mine falls under the first bolded section there though?

If you get a message similar to "your account is locked"

You should be given an email address in the error message. Send an email there and you will be given further instructions.

I guess if I still haven't heard anything by tomorrow I'll give that recoveries email address a try.

Thanks again for the heads up!

Most likely you won't heard anything unless you try with the email address you have given. The process may take a while but if you are consistent with the follow up emails they will send, eventually you will get your account back. I know it from experience.

Can you sign a message from 14W74ZoGQbMunWcJHgPM5QQJ2Tw7DdGEqS or 1JVfo7NhM18JA5khT5r5q5gFy1sqrFZ89z?
I think Global Mods (@hilariousandco) can unblock you too if you prove ownership here.

Indeed I can!

Code:

Address: 1JVfo7NhM18JA5khT5r5q5gFy1sqrFZ89z

Message: It's a me! bmoconno = bmoconnotoo

Signed Message: H8xnYhEGToABPVg6MuHkRW2QtLZ8cgJPjcH9NPDzez9eA8/3H8jef1pcDPv1zFj3d5m3k2X2Ceaj5IUYgKchLew=

I think that 14W74.. was from a web wallet or something when I was young and stupid(er).

Here is another signed message from the address in my sig as bmoconno:

Code:

Address: 13SZex4uANVrfTeeuFEXGu6W8EVYtWVB53

Message: It's still me! bmoconno = bmoconnotoo

Signed Message: H2AcC/6r09NztWoFzdPZ+JCh4u6iBSatV1UmY80FMeMtLeUvrZmvM+J7a87wgfJx8GdRQ9cAon7n4uCvoBN8lQM=

Thanks for the suggestion, LoyceV

Edit: I just got a response from my email to the reactivation address asking for a similarly signed message!

[bmoconno]

Yay! I'm back, thanks everyone!

What brings you back here?

Honestly, I originally just came here to see if there was any interest in some old collectables I'm trying to sell-off to help fund a house purchase... but I'm finding that I'm enjoying reading a lot of the threads (in particular about development) and it's got me wanting to work on something crypto related again. I've got a few ideas, hopefully I can get something going to help engage and support the community.
