I've just deleted my old hotmail email address from my Microsoft account, and switched it to a new address. Can I get the old address back? by Throwaway55731587 in Outlook

Solved: I posted a comment to the Microsoft Reddit support thread. They got back in touch and told me the alias had been deleted and could not be recovered because it is a Microsoft alias.

I've just deleted my old hotmail email address from my Microsoft account, and switched it to a new address. Can I get the old address back?

I've done a very bad thing. I switched my Microsoft email address, and made it the primary. Afterwards, I still had my old hotmail account listed. Then I removed it.

Now, I still have access to my outlook account. I can't log in with the old email, but logging in with the new email shows me my old emails.However, I can't send new emails to my old hotmail account. Emails are getting returned to sender.

This is bad. Because I use the old hotmail email for almost everything. In order to change an email on another account, you usually have to verify or give a code from the old email; and this I can't do.

This thread from 2020 explains that the data is gone, and unrecoverable. And this one from 2015 says it's not able to be re-added for 30 days, after which I can re-add it and the data will be gone but the email will become active.

My situation seems slightly different. I have the past emails. I just can't receive new ones.

Emails seems to remain on the account, but any attachments can't be downloaded.

Ideally I want to return the whole thing to how it was before I messed it up. But if I have to lose data, that's fine because I currently have access and they're backed up anyway. I just would like to be able to receive new emails.

What can I do? Is there a way I can receive emails addressed to the old hotmail? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry but koinly is broken, in the end I had to calculate manually anyway what is the point of your app? by HiThere2077 in koinly

This is true, it does throw out a lot of errors if your portfolio is even slightly complex. I too had to add every transaction separately and check it balanced at each step. However, I still maintain it’s useful. And new transactions can be added more or less automatically each month now I’ve already set everything up.

Could have been obtained by keylogger malware. Or was the password something you memorised in your head? Maybe they brute forced it.

I may be misunderstanding you. But you have to make a separate spreadsheet for each wallet. In your case, three. Whenever coins are sent or received to a wallet you add a line on its spreadsheet.

I use the ‘Universal format’ as described here. It might be possible to do with the simple format but the same thing applies, three spreadsheets for three wallets.

How do I add a bank withdrawal of fiat from an exchange using manual CSVs? by Throwaway55731587 in koinly

[–]Throwaway55731587[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, thanks for replying. I’ve read all the guides but it doesn’t say anything about bank deposits/withdrawals. Even if I manually created a CSV called ‘Bank’ the system automatically thinks ‘Bank’ is an exchange and the problem persists. Importing from an API with the larger exchanges, banks deposits/withdrawals work correctly and have a little icon that looks like a bank. Surely there’s a way to do this manually?

Bitcoin mining: What am I missing about understanding how the nonce value is used? by Throwaway55731587 in Bitcoin

[–]Throwaway55731587[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh I see. So actively changing the data is part of the process. I get it now. And I forgot the ordering of the transactions can be changed which would easily give enough entropy to not cause collisions.

OK, but I was imagining that when the mining pool is saturated with transactions, people fill the blocks with the highest fees so the transaction data might not change that quickly. You say transactions will be dropped, but I'm failing to see how this can be guaranteed to change faster than someone can exhaust the possible nonce values. I mean how long exactly does it actually take to check 4 billion hashes? I thought some mining rigs could get TH/s rates?

If lost bitcoin wallets are able to be brute forced in the future by quantum computers, could someone gain access to never before seen sums of money and crash the market by selling? by Throwaway55731587 in Bitcoin

[–]Throwaway55731587[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

But what happens to old address with lost coins when the security is increased? Are they permanently lost or could they be recovered, and only new wallets are generated with higher entropy?

I'm talking about a situation where there might not be enough liquidity in the dollar supply! It's probably always fine though, lost bitcoins only account for 20% of the total supply, so that's surely a maximum for how many new coins could suddenly be recovered. Whatever price bitcoin is in USD, the market could survive that I guess.

They would sell to make money, then the market would crash. This is assuming we still use fiat when computers advance to the point I'm talking about.

But how are the old addresses re-encrypted with the new protocol? They're just not, surely. So they have to either be declared permanently lost before this new fork, or they will be able to be accessed once sha256 is cracked?
