My 2016 Bitcointalk Account Is Alive Again After Years of Forgetting the Passwrd

I won't be surprised if Op content is AI generated. I can not prove it but a second look on this account reveal it's either bought or hacked account. The previous user of this account was a bounty hunter and their English is not that good. They also made a post in one local board, let see if the present user would continue posting in that local board or switch to a different local board.

Since the forum does not prohibit account selling, there's no point beating the bush coming up with cook stories if you're using a bought account. Nice try Op.

If you suspect someone, it's better to create a thread in the reputation section right away and provide whatever evidence you have. Stop making spam posts like this just to seek attention.

I've done that already but I'm surprised no one is looking into it yet: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5456516.msg67303552#msg67303552

Try to send a report to the moderators for each post you find.

If we return to the topic, then a long time ago I had the habit of registering on a bunch of forums with information I was interested in, and there were really a lot of them, although not all of them attracted my attention. The Roboform manager was popular back then. I do not know if he is "needed" now, since at some point he began to store his archives online, but in the beginning it was very convenient. Now I know that password managers were better back then, but we don't learn and choose what we need right away. It's funny that some forums (with a not very good reputation, but with a lot of useful information) subsequently became "closed" (paid or by invitation), and I was very glad that my data had the old registration, thanks to the fact that I used the manager, and all passwords remained safe. I'm still surprised that with the large number of forums I've "walked through," I haven't come across this forum😃.

I can still consider an offline book password manager, but I can not use any online password managers.

I use KeePass(XC), with local backups. An offline book isn't ideal for strong passwords, try writing and typing this without mistakes:

Code:

p7P%iN5#j';TJwE(n[P((#D5)6!^O4XOvWB@

FWIW, KeePassXC also let you generate passphrase which could be used as password

Code:

The wordlist used by KeePassXC also available on https://github.com/keepassxreboot/keepassxc/blob/develop/share/wordlists/eff_large.wordlist, https://www.eff.org/files/2016/07/18/eff_large_wordlist.txt and other mirror. But it sucks when you use website that have limit of maximum password length.

should I call this witch hunting or what, I think some times it’s good to focus on the main discussion and not go off topic especially since you have already reported his writing as AI.
I’m not saying you did the wrong thing by discovering his using AI but don’t go off topic on a thread or discussion because you found out something about the person or his writing since you can take it to reputation board.
Well since you have mentioned it here and reported it I believe some DT member may give him a neutral feedback or may let this one go as a warning.

OP you are welcome back but avoid using AI.

Many sites have (different) requirements for passwords, like small/capital/numbers/characters. I often have to adjust a large random password because the site can't handle it.

Even if I am to search for AI generated posts, I will not bother checking OP. I am not saying they didn't use AI for the post, neither am I saying they used. But the post doesn't look generated, it has a story line that is very much connected to the message of Op.

It could be that Op told his story to Ai and asked it to produce it, but I do not see harm in Op unless there are other posts of his that are heavily Ai'ed.

Do not underestimate a password manager. It might be the only key you have left.

What kind of password manager? You mentioned Chrome's password manager which is not what I can use. I do not use Chrome password or any browser password managers for anything. It has disadvantages like what happened to LastPass.

I can still consider an offline book password manager, but I can not use any online password managers.

I was just casually browsing through my wife’s phone when I discovered that a password—for my Bitcointalk account—was saved in her Chrome browser. I am so grateful to be able to log back in here.

Thank you very much for your input and suggestions, sir.

For those requirement, you could use shared prefix before the passphrase. for example,

Code:

This is genius in simplicity! Adding the same string on top of a strong random password doesn't compromise safety, but makes it easy to fulfill those dumb requirements so your real password can be human readable. I'll keep this in mind if I ever want to write down passwords. Assuming there's no limit on long passwords, that is.

I never save my password on my laptop or in any password manager, I just memorize it and I want to type it every time I log in to my account, not something like autofill. Worst thing is if my laptop gets lost or stolen, they could also get my password, I can't let that happen as my account is as important as my crypto assets.

Welcome back!

What will I be thinking that I wouldn't have my password off hand. That is one of the things i don't joke with, and if I'm to store it anywhere then it should be totally off line since that way is more saver and reliable. Thus, having it on our phones or labtop is very unprofessional and can make you lose access to your account you invested so much in building. Is not a good experience at all, but thank God you're back again. Maybe experience has thought him better.

I agree, man. If you rely solely on memory, you run the risk of forgetting—just like what happened to me.

However, the risk of your laptop being stolen can actually be mitigated by using an offline password manager (like KeePassXC), where the database is encrypted with a long master passphrase, and the backup file is stored separately on a USB drive.

That way, even if your laptop or device goes missing, no one can access it without that master passphrase. Your memory remains the primary key, but you have a backup in case you forget.

Ohh, what is it? What is the problem? Are you saying that in order to come up with a story, to set a script for AI to describe this story, you need a real story that AI cannot do? You won't check posts, but others will.. On the other hand, if we talk about the necessity and usefulness of the topic in the reputation section, then AI writes very human stories. But all the stories there are deleted by moderators🤷‍♀️.

Here's another example of how the answer was created using AI, but someone just asked the OP to write it yourself, didn't you?

I couldn't help but come back to convince you of another point. Think about it. will you edit your posts if they are not created using AI? In the case of the OP, he was not too lazy to change them. What is the reason🤔?
