C3r34lK1ll3r | Lost access completely - C3r34lK1ll3r2 - Apr 24, 2019
My account : uid=4151358
Few weeks ago i lost access to my encrypted USB drive and i was stupid enough to not make a backup.
I lost my account password and email access, but i was logged in on my VM.
Now after sessions and cookies reset, my account is gone forever.
The question is can i stay on this account ? I want to pay for upgrade and sticky again. I will make a backup.
EDIT
To be clear i know my old account is gone forever. Just want to know if i can use new account.

So sorry to hear that man, this is always my biggest fear.
I had this issue happen to me before with an exchange account I had with over $500 in btc, so frustrating.
That day made me realize just how important it is to keep paper backups in a safe.

Ouch, this sort of thing gets to me whenever the power suddenly gets cut off. Invest in your backups!

I wont. I contacted the admin and they dont assist members with account recovery.
My old account is gone forever and this is my fault. The day i lost it i was on drugs but i had to finish small job and accidentally erased the drive.
Hopefully i can use new account. Just waiting for confirmation and im buying upgrade&advertisement. I have 10 buyers waiting for me to create new contract.

Oh. I hope you'll get approved of using that new account.
I just used 2FA as well after everyone was logged out to secure my account and printed 4 copies of the backup key, both copy-pasted code and a picture of it. I hope if such events occur, my backup code will still be there.

I had 2FA enabled too, i still have access to my backup code but dont have password and recovery email.
Just got another encrypted usb stick and im making a backup now.

My passwords are generally random Argon2 hashes, or consisted of 90-100 randomly generated characters.

I don't think that will be sufficient enough for you to have your account back.

You realize that is complete overkill x 10 as it doesn't take many random chars or words to create enough entropy to be virtually impossible to crack...

No such thing as overkill when it comes to your security :) I am at no risk from making my passwords more secure, only makes it better. If your password limit is 100 for the service you use, why would you not use close to the limit? Seems foolish to think it is overkill.
"cracking" is most certainly not the reasoning as to why you would use hashed passwords, in my instance is for creating passwords that are easy to remember, but still being impossible to crack as per your suggestion.
For example my password could be a hash of "420" with a salt that only I remember, I can use this to get the hashed password at any given point in time. Of course, all I truly need to remember is "420" and the salt.
This is just one example.

You should be good to use a new account because u didn’t get banned or closed for a reason.
I remember before when an account was closed because of inactivity, you could create a new one without any problem.
But then you should wait for a staff or admin to respond.
Enjoy

Big RIP for your loss OP. This is a wake up call for others to always have a backup codes for your accounts.
I hope admin would let you use this account.
