What exactly looks suspicious (beside him waking up after few years break) as a change of email and password is not much of evidence. Has he changed the boards where he is usually writing, or maybe his post quality suddenly changed? You should put a little bit more effort and analyze his activity before asking others to check it out.

[_act_]

Did he evade ban? That should be one of the good reasons account that woke up should be reported for the woke up or new account he used to evade ban to be banned too, but you have no valid allegation against him yet, he did nothing wrong than just woke up. Or he is of low quality poster may be another reason, but which he only deserves neutral tag for people to notice.

I got a message few days ago when signing up in a website("A Data Breach on a Site or App Exposed Your Password"). So i have decided to changes my primary email address and password to every site i registered for. I left BTT a long time ago so after changing password i thought why not make some post again. I know a lot better than 2018 so may be i can make something for myself and others. It's been a long time so it's not unusual that i can write in more matured way than before as my knowledge expands a lot. Haven't thought that this will caught some peoples attention.

I can send a message from my old registered email address("I do not want to share my old email address publicly") to any moderator if i really needs to prove my account ownership. I do not know what more to say and i think it is not any violation of rules to be active after a long time.

I checked a little bit and I didn't find any evidence of that, but I am sure that others will check it more thoroughly.

Yeah that is normal, to improve both posting style and language. Suspicious thing would be if your English suddenly regressed and I was mainly aiming at that.

You could eventually sign a message from your old address to remove any possible doubt (if you have access to any of the addresses that you used in the past) that account changed hands.

To sign a message with bitcoin address can only help to know if an account is not compromise, but not useful if a farmed or old account is sold. I can build an account, stake an address with it on this forum, sell the account, give the wallet to the person I sold it, tell him how I have helped him to sign a message in the past and how he can reuse the address to sign another message, old account can be sold too like that. Best way sometimes is to check if the account change hands.

OP, what do you suspect from the account? just because it has been inactive for a long time then change your email and password? yes, maybe this could be an indication of the account changing hands. either from hacking or trading.
but if you do it based solely on that evidence, I'm afraid you'll get more accounts in your accusations.
if you have evidence of the trade conversation or the account being sold via social media. you can continue. if you don't have it, it's better to stop.

And learn a new language since immediately after the first post gap he started posting for the first time on the Pilipinas board in 20017 and somehow forgot he's from a different continent  No way it's the same person that opened the account here and for two years talked only about trading and arbitrage then suddenly regressed to 4 lines of empty talk.

That aside, he hasn't scammed anyone yet, he has no trust ratings, no business venture, and probably nobody gives a f* about this anymore.

Hah yeah, noticed that too first time I skimmed through post, that account started being active in Pilipinas board few years after creation but haven't really compared post quality. I have to agree with you, it doesn't seem that the same person who initially created the account is the one who is posting now.

True, but just in case I will leave neutral tag for now.

You will find a lots of users who haven't post into their local board for a very long time. You just tagged me only based on some assumption not any evidence. Is that really fair to you to charge someone based on if, what if? I haven't done anything against forum rules. If you can prove i have done any violation of rules then you can put as many tag as you want.

Much bigger problem than your account waking and suddenly writing in language never used before is the difference in English level before and after that break. What could have happened in two years that your English got so much worse?

CaVirtex strictly limited Canadian residents as the clients. That was one of the reason their customer base has not grown.

Vault of Satoshi used to be good long time ago but not that much in the last months. Cointrader does not have competitive price both for bid and ask. QuadrigaCX has issues in their API access control (at least from outside Canada). However QuadrigaCX would be the best CAD exchange at this moment..  

By the way, confusing Virtex.com is also in trouble, which is EgoPay related firm  

Ripple is my favourite coin in month of april hehehe. I've make a wonderfull high profit amoun in this coin. Suffered a lot of time of waiting to pump this coin now hehehe and still holding

We doesn't know what is the reason why ETH didn't pump if bitcoin goes down. As what as i've now in  trading even if bitcoin is rising also altcoin have been rising too, it's so nice to see that their rising too because many peoples saying that if BITCLIN goes up then ALTCOINS goes down right?

Relax, I only tagged you with neutral and that shouldn't affect you much. Well, at least not joining bounty campaigns as that seems is your goal here.

I dare not accuse. My initial guess is that this account changed hands. With my request to be checked, who knows if someone has hacked this account. So this is just an attempt to save.

You can make accusation on your suspicion of other account that may have changed hands due to being hacked or sold, but if you don't have enough evidence then it's probably best you shut up or look for more evidence before starting the thread. This is an experience that I can share with you for the purpose of avoiding mistake.

There are a lot of people changing email and password for security purposes and that's not a really accurate reason to say an account has changed hand. Even if that is considered an early indication, but you need other evidence to accuse him.

But how do you suspect someone so quickly on this forum when you have only 5 posts including this one since registering your account October 29, 2022, 06:29:41 PM? This must be strange from you because I actually saw your announcement a few days ago. LOL

If that's the main point you made this topic about the @cozytrade account I don't think there's much to do other than prejudice, but if you have any evidence other than 'Wake up and Email' was replaced it might be a different story what happened to the @cozytrade account, I've checked the account, at a glance the account in question has already been discussed in this thread, the problem is.

My understanding is that the account was created in 2013, meaning he knows very well about the actions of this forum, if indeed the account is hacked, the main owner will automatically create a topic in Meta to follow up on that account, of course with valid evidence, in this case there is not much that can be concluded, except: based on the presumption of changing hands, being sold or otherwise.

About 2 months before I registered for an account, I often visited the bitcointalk.org site using a laptop and I continued to use Android. That's what I do when I'm getting bored with work reports and when I'm bored with games.

Almost every day for 2 months I did that to make me find out more about crypto because along with I found crypto ads while I was browsing and it was very annoying. When I opened the bitcointalk.org site, I clicked on all the spaces and it turned out that life was very active here.

Actually I'm planning to register an account not October 29, 2022, 06:29:41 PM but October 31, 2022 to make it easier for me to remember the anniversary of the Bitcoin whitepaper. So don't be surprised my first post is about my thanks to Satoshi.

Can my answer be used as a new topic?

Sure, owner would come here and said something about being hacked, but only if he was also active on the forum at the time (a lot of hacked accounts are used for spreading malware and the real owners extremely rarely show up). In this case account woke up 4 and a half years later so I doubt that real owner would notice something happening. Btw there's no real evidence here that account has been hacked but imho account changed hands somewhere during 2017.

I have seen you have mentioned by a neutral trust that possible change of the account in 2017. But I have not got a clue about it. The first-time password was changed on at 10/18/2022 5:56:16 PM and woke up 10/18/2022 5:55:27 PM. But if ownership changed then the password should be changed too at the time of ownership change!!

Why should ownership change automatically mean that password and/or email change has to happen as well? Sure, it makes sense to change those things if you bought an account so the previous owner can't retake control of it, but accounts are not always sold and instead they are just given (like friend giving a friend his account) and in order to raise any red flags, the new owner decided to keep the old password.

By the way, have you compared the posts made in 2015 with those from 2017? How would you explain regress in the English level as people usually get better in foreign language through years or use, and not worse.

[The Cryptovator]

I am not getting what is suspicious exactly. Anyone could wake up and change account credentials. That doesn't mean they are doing suspicious. As long as they aren't abusing the forum you can't take action against anyone unless there is transparent evidence of changing hands. By the way, I am pretty sure you are posting from your alts.

[KingsDen]

An account woke up after 3years of inactivity;
So, what happened again?
-The account changed email and password simultaneously.
Then, what does that mean?
- It means that the account has changed hands.
So, if the account changed hands, what offence was committed by changing ownership?
-offence of account sells.
Is there any evidence of account sells?
-Yes, because he changed email and password.
So, what should be done to the account.
-The account should be tagged!
After tagging, what next?
-Nothing else, the battle has been won.
