Title: Securing my user with PGP Post by: Byzantium101 on March 02, 2018, 02:53:41 PM I have read that people get their users stolen and that it is possible to claim it back if you send a key-signed messaged to the admins. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=497545.0 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=497545.0)
I would like to know this in more detail: 1 - Can I use a key pair from any PGP program? 2 - How can I make sure that this key is associated with my user in the forum? Should I just post the public key somewhere in the forum or just send a PM signed to someone else? Thanks for help!

So if you get hacked you can do what you wrote in your topic. Read this topic for more info: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=996318.0;topicseen

I need to open a bitcoin account because for the moment I only have one in Ethereum. Any chance of using a PGP app?

Any chance of using a PGP app? What do you mean? I recommend Electrum if you need to sign a message for your staked address. It lets you create a Bitcoin wallet without any hassles and provides a PGP signing feature by default. Here is a more in-depth tutorial by shorena with many other apps: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=990345.0 |
