Oh. Maybe I'm rank jr member so cann't post as you. Thank you for that

No, I don't think rank matters for using [ code ] tags... It just looks like your copy/paste didn't work properly or there was an issue with the way the "newline" characters were pasted... I think they might have been converted to spaces

Also, I like the idea of people staking addresses as it can help prevent account fraud later... even if OP won't give you one, have a merit on me

[bitmover]

Alegotardo , you can paste your data from Electrum on brainwallet
https://brainwalletx.github.io/#verify

Brainwallet will generate a better presentation. You can verify there too.

And for what is this thread created? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=996318.0
And why do you reward people with merit for that? Any idea? Was merit implemented for that? I guess no and can't understand why so many user plays this merit charity game. I think sign isn't needed, only adress is enough too for this moment.

He wrote in the first post why he decided to give merits to users who are able to sign a message. He has a very good reason to do it, after all this is a bitcoin forum.

Honestly, because I had like 100 sMerit and had really been struggling to find posts worthy of merit... Also, I like the idea of people pro-actively staking addresses to help deter account theft. I think it is a positive thing and if everyone did it, I believe it would be a lot easier for people to recover hacked accounts.

I'd actually hoped more "member" and "full member" types would take advantage of this threads so they get the double bonus of staked address and some merit.

No... an address only isn't enough. You need to be able to PROVE that you own/control that address. You do that by signing a message from that address. By signing the message, it is then impossible to change it later, as it will break the signature and invalidate the message.

To stop account buyers from just buying an account including private key to the staked address, it would be good to require funds in the address before considering anyone the real owner.
If the new owner puts 0.1BTC on the staked address, the seller can take his funds. I value a funded staked address more than an unfunded one.

The problem with that is my staked address is from a 2013 wallet which I have possibly compromised by claiming all the forked coins from. I don't think it's a practical requirement.

My staked addy got compromised when I copied the private key into Google
But indeed, I didn't think about Forkcoins when writing this. Even so, I trust a funded staked address more than an unfunded address.

My opinion is that whatever ever you do, staked addresses can't be effective against account sales. They are effective with hacked accounts though. The age of the staked address is far more important than it being funded particularly with accounts older than the 2015 hack.

Example https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=996318.msg39496681#msg39496681

2013 account stakes an address 2 days ago. A quick look at its posts and it used to post only in Chinese until going to sleep in 2014. Then it wakes up in 2017 and only posts in English.

Accounts that were farmed and sold post 2015 could well have been sold with an email address and private key by the more sophisticated account farmers. Merit is the way that business has been stopped.

Although I registered way back in 2013, I only started using Bitcointalk in early 2017 so thought of giving this a shot.

I know that I'm not eligible to get Merit because my address was staked only in 2017. But I just want to say how important to have staked address. It already helped to recover my account when it was hacked: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2419748.msg24763320#msg24763320. Without my staked address I wouldn't be there today.
