Sign a Staked BTC Address - Get a Merit

[eddie13]

Sign a BTC address that you posted/staked more than 50% the age of your account ago and get 1 merit..
Sign a message with your username and today's date in it, and include a link to the old post containing the address with your post..
Offer available to Member-Hero only while supplies last.. I will merit atleast the first 10 qualified candidates and more if I like the way it goes..

Can't? Better get it done..

It is wise to be able to prove your identity cryptographically through Bitcoin..
If you account gets hacked you can easily use it to report the hack and get the account flagged.. In order to maybe get your account back you will have to be able to sign a staked BTC address as well..
If, by chance, someone thinks your account is hacked, by signing you can prove that it is not..
If you do lose your account, you can use your staked address it to maintain your identity, prove who you are, and keep your reputation/trust..
If you ever want a loan a staked address could be very handy..
You can prove your identity on other sites and platforms such as telegram..
If you ever do a deal that requires trust you should be able to sign your identity at the request of the other party to prove you are not hacked, or prove you are who you claim to be..
At times it can also be good to sign contracts or deals with your identity so it can be proved you agreed to it..


I think staking your identity is an important part of your reputation and being a crypto community member so if you made that step towards membership you can have a merit for it..

Not worth the effort to find my legacy addy private key, import it on my wallet just to sign a message for 1 merit. you have no idea how hard it was to sign the above message. besides I am not going to use legacy addresses anymore. segwit from now on.

Not too difficult considering I keep the wallet available just in case I have to verify my identity.

[digaran]

Example of a merit whore.

[actmyname]

Example of a merit whore.

Ah, yes. I scrounge around for merit pitifully because I need to rank up. Where would I be without my precious merits?

(I don't see how I'm whoring out for merits that I won't get. You should at least take some time to prove your identity )We should do this with PGP, in my opinion. It's good to get people to start encrypting their messages, no?

Sign a BTC address that you posted/staked more than 50% the age of your account ago and get 1 merit..

An interesting exercise...

I was sure I had done this before in Tomatocage's original "Stake your address" thread... and after some hunting, I found it... but I don't think it satisfies the 50% age criteria.

So, I guess I would need to use this one:

ps. eddie13... where is YOUR staked address?

[eddie13]

We should do this with PGP, in my opinion. It's good to get people to start encrypting their messages, no?

I agree it would be a good thing to get people to learn how to encrypt messages..
I have played around with it just to learn how to do it and make sure I can if I need to for some reason but I don't really have a staked PGP public key..

ps. eddie13... where is YOUR staked address?

I just got out my old laptop but can't find my charger right this moment due to my girl sleeping in the room it is somewhere in..
It's late, I'll drag it out tomorrow..

All verified btw..

It's because you have used a bech32 SegWit address to sign the message. Apparently there isn't an "agreed" method for using bech32 addresses to sign messages. I believe that the Electrum dev(s) have put out a proposal for the method they're currently using... but as far as I'm aware, no one else is using it. So, it'll work for Electrum, but nothing else.

Thank you for this thread, reminded me that I needed to stake my address in case I get hacked.

I want merit, but I can not send signature from bitcoin wallet Which have (exchange wallet). Should it be done from a private wallet?

1.When will you learn ? Like the first thing a person learns about bitcoin is creating their own wallets.Move the coins from your exchange wallet to something like Electrum or blockchain.info soon as you can.

2.Read the damn thread, the offer is for accounts with rank Member +..

3.You have disappointed me as a bitcoiner and a bitcointalk member at the same time.Sorry no merit for you.

[TheQuin]

Not that I need a merit but it was fun searching those old posts to find an address.

You want a merit and yet you don't want to read the FUCKING OP. Maybe you can leave the forum now and find a decent job

Lol, this one made me laugh. Good one. I think this is very applicable to around 90% of the forum's current population.

I think we should be kind to people here, in any case, we should be united as one so that the community can grow and mature together. Besides, people start from being a newbie right?

I was once a newbie who didn't understand the blockchain technology a few years ago, until some user from this forum PMed me the inner workings of the blockchain technology. That 'noob' that you are scolding right now may very well be the next pioneer in blockchain technology.
