I found $600 in an CB account I forgot: How to find old accounts?

[lexinexi]

So I have been in BTC since it was around $1000 but my account was compromised due to me being lazy and the scammers got it all... or so I thought. I decided to open a new coinbase account this jan. but in the process (understatement IT WAS PAINFUL to reopen) I found the scammers left about $600 in XRP or ETH that had grown over the last few years.

BUT... I also had a Monera (?) account I think? It was like a coinbase type exchange but located in south korea. I tried to reopen that one but sometime when the FTC or SEC began regulating bitcoin they said I had to live in south korea to access my account or something to that effect, Also they didn't have an AWESOME customer service 1-800 like CB's. (yeah sarcasm)

This is all from memory as I have no access to my old email, computers or accounts.

So is that exchamge called monara? I google'd and found a coin called by that but not sure if that coin is one the exchange uses like coinbase's USDC(That they try to trick you into buying by refunding your fees, but thats a comment for another post).

TLDR: Was there an exchange called monaera? and how to access your account if its before they split USA accounts and Korean accounts? Also I am aware that these exchanges probably makie a $h!t load of money by closing little accounts people forgot about like when you throw away a gift card with 50 cents on it.

[Ambatman]

There's no such exchange according to the timeline you mentioned
The top exchange running then
That prohibited and made it only Korean user
KYCed to Banks are
Bithumb, upbit and coinone but are still tied
To the stringent regulation of South Korea.


Or you mean monero (a privacy coin not an exchange though)

[flatfly]

Could it be one of those? 


Bithumb (Founded in 2014) – One of the largest exchanges in South Korea, known for high trading volumes and supporting multiple cryptocurrencies.

Upbit (Launched in 2017) – Backed by Kakao, a major South Korean tech company, Upbit quickly became a dominant exchange in the country.

Coinone (Founded in 2014) – A well-known exchange in South Korea, particularly for its security measures and fiat-to-crypto trading options.

Korbit (Founded in 2013) – One of the earliest cryptocurrency exchanges in South Korea, offering KRW (Korean Won) trading pairs.

GOPAX (Launched in 2017) – A lesser-known but growing exchange that focused on security and compliance with local regulations

Hanbitco – A smaller exchange, but known for strong security and compliance.

ProBit – Launched in 2018, it grew in popularity for listing many altcoins.

You were able to open it before, so you're probably familiar with it. I tried searching for an exchange that lists Monaera in South Korea, but I couldn’t find any. It keeps pointing me to the coin Monero, but that’s also banned in Korea, since they’ve already prohibited privacy coins.

This thread was probably the inspiration for your attempt: Hi, I think I got bitcoin a long time ago. ( over 15 years ) ho do I get access?

As usual, members already have posted (and will continue to post) here giving you all sorts of tips about how to possibly try to recover those elusive funds. You know, the funds that never existed in the first place.

I on the other hand do not appreciate these types of threads that are clearly designed to fish for merits.

You created your account on 26th February 2025 and made you first post the same day. After that, such was your sense of urgency it took you 8 posts and 24 days (today) to create this thread about the crypto you allegedly lost and would like help retrieving?

So, you claim your Coinbase account was hacked and the scammers emptied everything. You claim you opened a new Coinbase account and somehow discovered you had $600 of XRP or ETH in the previous account (and again somehow you do not know which) yet you do not have access to them. Do you realise how ridiculous this story makes you look?

It is also no surprise at all that you by your own admission have no access to your old emails, computers or accounts. Actually, that was always expected to form part of the story because it gives cover for you not being able to prove anything you are claiming.

Hopefully you will not receive merits for the drama that you have concocted. These stories and merit fishing attempts are becoming quite boring.

There's no exchange exist named as Monera, but there is a coin name Monero which I think you got confused to call it as it is.

Also try to see this list https://cointelegraph.com/rankings/crypto-exchanges/?country=south-korea since maybe you remember that exchange and try to recover your Monero balance left on forgotten exchange.

But if you really can't remember the exact details and as you have said you don have access to old email including the device you use then I guess there's less chance to recover those floating funds.

[Lucius]

@JollyGood, do you know what would have a much bigger effect than your post? This topic has nothing to do with the Bitcoin discussion, and as such it would be moved to a less visible board if by any chance someone reports it or maybe does so at some point.

Anyway, I agree with you that there are a lot of made-up stories on the forum, but that doesn't surprise me at all - some people are willing to do absolutely anything for a few $ more.

[BitMaxz]

I never heard of monaera exchange. How do you exactly think that you are using Monaera Exchange, or is there someone who told you to use it?
I can't think of any similar exchange you might be talking about, Bitpay. The Coinbase website design looks similar to Bitpay, so it might be the exchange you are looking for?

If not, right then try to check this list below and you might find the exchange you were looking for.

- https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/List_of_Exchanges
- https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Comparison_of_exchanges
- https://bitcoinwiki.org/wiki/cryptocurrency-exchanges-list

If you remember it correctly, you should be able to find the exchange from these links above and update here once you get the exact exchange site.

OK 1st off I'm legally blind. Using this forum isn't easy so I often miss things.

I got my old coinbase account back up.

Here is the "fake" story : The hackers tricked my girlfriend into thinking they were comcast and did the whole screen sharing thing, got her phone number et got into our coinbase.

They only took the bitcoins because there was thousands verse 10's of $ in other coins and probably didnt have wallets set up to xfer the coins or risk getting caught.

I posted a thread because after searching I couldnt for the life of me figure out the name. I believe it started with an M , unfortunately that same time : 2016 I suffered a massive seizure with memory damage around that whole year. I really cant even remember the email i set up just for that purpose.

So thank you for understanding. Would you like screen shots of my CB account? I don't know why I would make up something so trivial, but since you did a full investigation forensically looking at my account did I mi ss any good replies to my posts? 8 DAYS? is this an interrogation or something? Are you a moderator looking for spam posts? I just replied to one this morning, but you already knew that.

[JollyGood]

Having this nonsense moved to Off-Topic should suffice.

Anyway, I agree with you that there are a lot of made-up stories on the forum, but that doesn't surprise me at all - some people are willing to do absolutely anything for a few $ more.

I refuse to believe this story. As far as I am concerned, this was an attempt to register a new account and try to build it up over time with an eventual hope of enrolling it in campaigns.

OK 1st off I'm legally blind. Using this forum isn't easy so I often miss things.

Of all the years I have been using the forum, this is something totally new. Legally blind?

Would you like screen shots of my CB account?

Yes, I would definitely like to see screenshots of your Coinbase account.

I don't know why I would make up something so trivial

Attention-seeking and merit fishing are two reasons worth considering.

[lexinexi]

Thank you for your help and most others BUT I guess I need to put a disclaimer in my signature bar that says "WARNING LEGALLY BLIND POSTER MAY NOT SEE ALL POSTS"

ANYWAYS:

You have giving me a start.
If I used my current bank account they might have statements going back 8 years to see where the money was going. Possibly. Brain damage sucks!!! (wear a helmet at all times kids )

95% started with an M but I looked at all those Korean exchanges you cal KYC?

So privacy coins were banned, I am from the US so I have no idea about korea let alone thier coins because I have been out of the game so long.

I'm wondering if this site was offering those and thats why they split in teo.

I DO remember this it was a big alternative if you didn't like coinbase ay the time.

As expected, you failed to post screenshots of your imaginary Coinbase account.

Thankfully the thread has been moved out of the Bitcoin Discussion board after I reported it. Now I can unwatch this thread because I have literally no interest in posting about the fabrications you have concocted.

You will obviously continue with your fabrications for a few days more or at least until you realise you did not meet your objectives and then will try to fish for merits by creating new threads with new dramas.

Attention-seeking and merit fishing are two reasons worth considering.

You don't know what legally blind is? Its a medical condition and nothing to do with how ever many years you run a forum unless it was an eye doctor forum and I have keratoconus (ICD 10 H18.6)  Google says: (why cant you google legally blind?)
"In the United States, someone is considered "legally blind" if their best-corrected visual acuity is 20/200 or less in their better eye, or if their field of vision is 20 degrees or less.
Here's a more detailed explanation:

    Visual Acuity:
    This refers to the sharpness of vision. A person with 20/200 vision can see at 20 feet what a person with normal vision (20/20) can see at 200 feet.

Field of Vision:
This refers to the area a person can see while looking straight ahead without moving their eyes. A field of vision of 20 degrees or less is considered a limitation that can lead to legal blindness.
Best Correction:
This means the vision is measured even with the best possible glasses or contact lenses.
Implications:
Being legally blind can open up eligibility for various government programs and services, including vocational training, rehabilitation, schooling, disability benefits, and tax exemptions.
Not the Same as Total Blindness:
Legal blindness is a specific legal definition, and it doesn't mean someone is completely unable to see. Many people who are legally blind can still see some light and shapes.
Low Vision:
People with vision impairment that doesn't meet the criteria for legal blindness are often described as having low vision.


Ok you want to see my coinbase I will entertain that if iy means I get answers to my posts.

Im notgoping back and fourth but you say this is to attain "merits" on your site? Why would I want that? I come here once a month when I have a question.

[lexinexi]

So I proved myself, proving you wrong and so you just move the thread and dont reply?

I seriously don't believe you dont have grandparents or relatives that can no longer drive because they are legally blind.

So now should I make the thread over now that I showed im legit?

If I was to be in your shoe, the best thing I would have done is to immediately transfer that $600 in XRP you just found in your old crypto account that was hacked and scammed.  But thats if only you still have access to your transaction pin .

BUT... I also had a Monera (?) account I think? It was like a coinbase type exchange but located in south korea. I tried to reopen that one but sometime when the FTC or SEC began regulating bitcoin they said I had to live in south korea to access my account or something to that effect, Also they didn't have an AWESOME customer service 1-800 like CB's. (yeah sarcasm)

So why not use a VPN to change your location to South Korea and access your account? Because with the use of technology this days, gone are those day when you have to travel all the way to South Korea before you could have access to servers dedicated for only South Korea users. Because who knows, you could have a reasonable sum of crypto in that Monera account.

[btcltcdigger]

IF you use chrome, go through your password valut. more likely than not you saved your passwords there, so you should have a list of all exchanges that you accessed at some point
good luck

~snip~

You can refuse to believe in something as much as you want - maybe visit the Reputation board and see how many users have been proven to have alt accounts (which they haven't publicly announced), and have been using them for signature/bounty campaigns for years. Just remember the one who was hidden in the CM campaign for years with as many as three accounts and no one discovered him the whole time.

[JollyGood]

Is it clear the forum is flooded with alt-accounts and farmed accounts. The lengths that some members will go to in order to seek attention and in the process try to get merits is almost beyond belief. I remember the situation surrounding the puppeteer that had at least two known accounts in the CM campaign before he was exposed by nutildah.

Op everything got complicated to be seem right after making my search to pertaining all being said. besides nothing to hold up to legitimately about it all.

I tried to reopen that one but sometime when the FTC or SEC began regulating bitcoin they said I had to live in south korea to access my account or something to that effect, Also they didn't have an AWESOME customer service 1-800 like CB's. (yeah sarcasm)

Then if you can not afford to be in the South Korea as directed then try using the VPN.

I almost think they tried to scoop up a whole bunch of USA accounts with small (at the time) and just giving you BS saying resign up, and making off with a whole bunch of inactive accounts,

Like when you get a gift card the company makes a million and you throw away when it get a few dollars or cents then after a year it expires and they make millions of you gift card pocket change.
