Title: Forgot username after making deposit
Post by: applecore3 on May 18, 2013, 04:00 pm
Hey guys,

I'm looking for advice here.
I've been hearing about bitcoins a lot recently (my PC's GPU was almost melted from a bitcoin mining virus)

Anyways, upon hearing about silkroad I took the plunge; bought a bitcoin,made an account here and quickly deposited it into my account.
After waiting a few hours without the balance updating, I headed to sleep, I woke up the next day remembering that I had forgotten the username for my Silkroad account with the 1btc.

I do know the passphrase/pin, and know that the username is similar to the one I'm using here. But besides that I have no way of finding the username.
Bitcoins are rather expensive; so it's very disappointing losing one in such a silly manner.

Is there absolutely no way to retrieve my username? Could an admin perhaps check registration logs for the main site and see which users registered last night with the world "Apple" somewhere in it?

(I've opened a support ticket where I gave the admins the address I deposited the bitcoin to, hopefully they may be able to find my account through that)

Hi applecore3,

As this is such a rare issue, I am not aware of any other process to resolve this other than what you have done already. It shouldn't be too hard to find your username, though I'm not 100% how the member-list is saved. All you can do is wait to hear back from SR Support (please see DPR's thread on Support Delays here: http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/index.php?topic=159668.0) and if they need any further information they will ask you for it.
