Title: Why is there a field for BTC address in the profile? Post by: frankenmint on September 03, 2014, 11:17:41 AM There is no method to see the address nor to send funds to it. Why is it there?

Addresses need to be either in a message or a post. I think it would be a good idea to have them logged somehow to help with account recovery though.

That is very interesting and I was unaware of this. Seems like a user concerned about this might ought to put a post up in off-topic with their btc address should it ever come in handy for account verification.

Post by: hilariousandco on September 08, 2014, 06:17:07 AM Hopefully addresses in our profiles will be logged at some point as that seems like the perfect place to put them or have a history of addresses used there for easy access if you need to prove you own one. You also don't need to post one in off-topic but just use them naturally. You can also send them in a PM to default trust as they won't be deleted then.

It's actually DefaultTrust you need to send a PM to. (Not trying to be pedantic, just thought someone may do this after reading the thread).
