Hi,
My Qtox profile was deleted but I have my 76 digit ID.? Is there anyway for me to log in using that id so I can chat with my friends on there?? I don't necessarily need the contacts, they would msg me if I sign in.
Please help!!
Olivia

Hi,

It's not possible to log into an account just by knowing its Tox ID -- 
the 76 digit ID, similarly how it's not possible to withdraw money from 
a Bitcoin wallet just by knowing the wallet address or log into your 
email account just by knowing your email address. Tox ID is a public key 
and the private key for it is stored in the profile file. You can't do 
anything without the private key.

Hi,

You can re-create your profile back if you know the private key. It will 
be an empty profile though, with no friend list and without any other 
data. Since you will have an empty friend list, whoever has added you as 
a friend before won't be able to connect to you to be able to message 
you. You are able to message only if both sides have added each other. 
So either you will have to re-create your lost friend list by adding 
your friends back, or they will have to delete you from their friend 
list and then add you back, triggering a friend request to be sent to 
you, so that you could add them to your friend list.

You can use this script to create an empty profile with given public and 
private keys: 
https://github.com/TokTok/c-toxcore/blob/master/other/fun/make-funny-savefile.py
The public key is the first 64 hex digits of your Tox Id.
Once created, you will probably want to load it in qTox and restore your 
previous no-spam value from the Tox Id that you have written down, so 
that people would be able to add you using your previous Tox Id. The 
no-spam is the 8 hex digits in your Tox Id after the public key.
You might also want to encrypt (password-protect) your profile, 
otherwise the private key is stored in plaintext in the profile file - 
qTox might help with that too.
