So pw with 12 chars is not enough?
If you hadn't changed your password since 2015, it was likely compromised in a data breach that happened in that year.
I noticed that "litko" had asked help to recover "jkoil". I did not read it all, but at least he tells that he got help from Google. Odd...
He was just b.s.-ing everybody... Google didn't help him. He just said that to "help his case" on the forum. But the fact that he can no longer really speak English and became a shitposter is enough to assume its a hacked account.
"old address" ?
Email or wallet? I had in the signature NXT and NEM mentioned, but now cannot remember were the addresses also in the sig.
I left 1.1 XEM to the original wallet, but I might still have that wallet's pw... had to test that.
If you can find a post with a NXT or NEM address in it, and then sign a message from that address, that would probably work.
I should add that NEM could find new fame for "historical" mosaics or assets. In this modern era of NFTs, old assets of any kind of significance and scarcity are finding new value by collectors.
For instance, if there are mosaics issued of limited quantity that point to an image file, they could be re-branded as NFTs.
I know it might sound silly, but there is serious money being thrown around at such things. An example can be found in
NXTdrop. The original creator didn't go about its relaunch in the best of ways as they unilaterally decided that 30 or so tokens on OpenSea now represent everybody's holdings, and they aren't bridged to the NXT tokens in any way.
But having some kind of asset bridge for ETH-NEM would expose "historically significant" NEM mosaics to OpenSea money.
