Title: Eternalize a signed Bitcoin message here
Post by: instacalm on February 03, 2017, 08:17:56 PM
In addition to Tomatocage's BTC address staking thread -- post a signed Bitcoin message here and let another user quote and verify it.

You can sign any kind of message you wish.

Code:
Message: 
Friday, 3. February 2017. Eternalize your Bitcoin message on Bitcointalk.

Address:
1HxWEU9x6bMMfysNGCVSMgy7fxCYJDxNFd

Signature:

Please note:
You should be really careful about making a thread for signed Bitcoin messages. If you don't make them specific enough, you could end up making an easy thread for scammers to find sources for BTC identity theft.

If you sign a message that says, "I am the owner of this account" for example, someone can just copy and paste that message and use it. That said, hopefully people are smart enough to ask for a specific signed message asking for "I am the owner of this account *insert date and time*" but still.

Why?! The other one is still open and one thread is enough for staking your address.
