Post by: monsterer on January 17, 2015, 02:15:46 pm
If an unregistered account sends me a transaction, is it possible to get their currently active account key?

Id say no ... you cannot figure out if ANY address was TITAN or not ... leaving an uncertainty of 50% ..

"Unregistered account" is a misnomer; the notion of owner and active keys only make sense for blockchain accounts.

The closest you can get is seeing which key a TITAN memo might have been signed with, or see what key signatures authorized the withdraw operation(s).
