make an address which you totally control.
Go to Tomatocage's thread and post it there, so you can prove your ownership later, if something happens to your account.
You'll need to be able to sign a message from that address.

Post it in the same thread where you posted the address. Ask for someone to quote your message
That's all!
Good luck!

If you account gets hacked or if you lose your password, you still can recover it following this topic:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=497545.0
I would focus on password security because recover accounts may take a while

At first it seems that way. Not for long so please be alert.
As for your thread, it has been answered so now you have an opportunity to lock it. Good luck with everything. I hope you have a great experience here.
