Title: Lost account / 80'000 BTS Prize - Christmas Puzzle.
Post by: tony-hughes-design on December 14, 2015, 10:20:41 pm
Hi guys,

During the beginning stages of 2.0 clearly there were issues with bitshares and the 'default' safari browser, this is why now it says 'Unsupported browser
The Browser you are using has not been fully tested to support the Bitshares Wallet. We highly recommend that you backup your wallet and import it using the Chrome Browser until we have had more time to fully test your browser of choice. Use at your own risk.
' also 'Backup wasn't REQUIRED' it was only a RECOMMENDATION. To a novice like me I felt confident my apple keychain and the password to 2.0 would encrypt my private key and store it that way I wouldn't ever need to back it up. Anyway long story short after James Calfee tried ever so hard to try and help me restore my wallet. but with no success. I am now locked out of my Tony-Hughes account with 80,000 BTS and lifetime membership. I believe in Bitshares so I have decided to cut my losses and swallow the fact I won't get my 300$ worth of bitshares back... which is a hefty sum when your currently unemployed....

I have scoured all my caches and dumped everything I could get hold of. I'm optimistic that somebody out there might be able to retrieve the 80'000 BTS. and I would be more than happy for you to take them as it seems the bitshares team didn't like the idea of account holders being able to burn inactive / locked out accounts through a consensus/vote. I presumed as long as the account holder had sufficient ID, perhaps OAUTH / Registered details, 2FA Auth the account could be thru a consensual vote with a majority of the delegates burn the account with the permission of the account holder.

Anyway none of this as come to light so.. for now.. quite frankly I will need to say goodbye to my bitshares. I will dump every bit of information I managed to pull from the darkest parts of my browser cache and history. I hope somebody manages to take the 80'000 BTS.

As you will see the encrypted key and all over data should be there.. GOOD LUCK PS: if you do crack this puzzle please drop me a line. info@tonyhughesdesign.com

What happens if you just try to import your 0.9.3c backup again in another wallet?

If your encrypted private key is there and you have your password you should be able to recover it.  Have you tried creating a fake 0.9.3 key dump file?

I think it's not an 0.9.x or earlier account.

I could be wrong but once claimed in the 2.0 blockchain I don't think it will be possible to do another import to recover the balance. If it is, then a lot of people could import their 0.9.3c balance all over again to increase their 2.0 holdings.

I don't really know how CNX prohibited that, but they better have found a way, or at least be monitoring the 2.0 chain for those that try. Talk about a double spend oversight! Ouch!

You would recover your account name and private keys related to that account... You just would end up having the same account in two different wallet, it would not be a double spend nor you would end up doubling your holdings.

I think you can currently have the same account on openledger and on the light wallet, as well as in two different machine...

Still, I could be wrong or miss something...

Actually that does sound plausible. If Mr. Hughes still has access to the info he used to import his account balance out of the 0.9.x chain he should try to re-import it into graphene again. He has nothing to loose but a little time and 80K BTS to gain.

Either you send me your wallet passphrase per mail or you publish it here .. I think we can recover this account from the data above ..

DO NOT publish your passphrase here! Send it to xeroc if you trust him (I would).
