Title: What am I supposed to do?
Post by: pluraver on November 27, 2012, 01:44 am
I never created a PIN due to the option not existing when I made my account... and now I'm sitting here waiting with BTC sitting in my account unable to be touched.  Without a PIN I cannot transfer the funds to a different wallet or account.  The BTC amount is very specifically set to match that of an order I wanted to place, and as they sit there the value of those BTC is slowly but steadily dropping... so I'm losing money and soon won't have enough to place my order.  I messaged Silk Road's support team but the message has not been read and I assume with the high volume of traffic it could even be a couple days before they *can* read it.  Then with my luck, it could be an additional 7 or 8 days before they give me a PIN number.  Is my only option really to just sit here and lose money? :(

Sorry for the additional PIN thread but I'm really frustrated at the situation.

everybody gets a pin when you create an account, you make the pin yourself, aswell as your password obviously lol

use a wrong pin until you get the pin reset message. after seven days, reply to the pin reset message. when you receive the reply, log out and then log back in and you will be able to set your pin. this is the only way to do it, and support staff cannot lower the 7 day waiting period.

there is a sticky on this subject: http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/index.php?topic=22136.0

a simple forum search would have found the answer also.

I believe you may be able to go into your account settings and make like you're trying to CHANGE an OLD PIN, but it creates you one. I think I read something like that months ago. Try it and see.

Thanks fyg, somehow I missed your earlier post in the shuffle.  I just got done reading that thread from start to finish and I'd say most of my questions are answered.
