You could go to meta on the signed staked address'es. If you have one staked there write after you change it write a message that can be verified by staked address. But if you don't have one staked it would not prove much if you staked today and changed password today. Title: Re: Should i sign a message after changing my bitcoin talk password ?

You have literally no trust and you are a Jr. Member. There's no need for you to post a signed message stating you changed your password. If you control the address posted before your password change, people will have the same perception of you. Title: Re: Should i sign a message after changing my bitcoin talk password ?

People change passwords all the time, it's a common security practice.

Post by: shorena on September 18, 2015, 09:18:01 PM Its a ~60 day old Jr. account, I dont think anyone will shit their pants if you changed your password.
If it helps you: #1 stake your address in the above mentioned thread #2 change your password #3 sign a message with the address from #1 say that you changed your password (include the date) repeat #2 and #3 as needed.

If he ever loses account it will speed up time on getting it back chances are. But you have a point likely OP will send money first on any trade with or without a password warning. But I think hes on the right route being over cautious good for down the road. |
