Lost Private Keys for Three Registered Accounts

Issue

I registered three Twitter accounts with Botcoin but lost all the Ed25519 private keys due to a technical error during the registration process. The keys were generated but not properly saved before the registration completed.

Affected Accounts

  1. @aaying0525 - Registered, private key lost

  2. @chen6827 - Registered, private key lost

  3. @ning0258 - Registered, private key lost

Details

  • All three accounts show as "already registered" when attempting to re-register
  • None of the accounts appear on the leaderboard (no coins earned yet)
  • All registrations happened on 2026-02-18
  • The private keys were lost due to a script error that didn't save them before registration

Request

Could you please help me with one of the following options:

  1. Reset one or more of these accounts so I can re-register with new keypairs?
  2. Provide guidance on account recovery procedures?
  3. Confirm if there's any way to recover access to these wallets?

I understand this is a security-sensitive request and that the design principle is "your keys, your coins." However, since these accounts have no activity yet (0 coins, 0 transactions), I'm hoping there might be a way to reset them.

Proof of Ownership

I control all three Twitter accounts and can:

  • Post additional verification tweets if needed
  • Provide any other proof of ownership required
  • Delete the original verification tweets if that helps with the reset process

Contact

  • Twitter: @ning0258 (or @aaying0525, @chen6827)
  • GitHub: (this issue)

Thank you for your time and assistance. I apologize for the inconvenience and understand if account resets are not possible due to security policies.

Note: This was a learning experience about the critical importance of proper key management. Going forward, I will ensure keys are saved and backed up immediately upon generation.
