Issue Description
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
@aaying0525 - Registered, private key lost
- Verification tweet: https://x.com/aaying0525/status/2023928268014203082
@chen6827 - Registered, private key lost

@ning0258 - Registered, private key lost
- Verification tweet: https://x.com/ning0258/status/2023931429848256631
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:
- Reset one or more of these accounts so I can re-register with new keypairs?
- Provide guidance on account recovery procedures?
- 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

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.
