Which bitcoin wallet are you using?

If you are using bitcoin core, click "File", "Sign message", enter your bitcoin address and messsage, and finally click the "Sign Message" button.
I did this the first time today. I got my signature, so what do I do with it?
How do I check this message?

Quoting doesn't help - quotes can be faked and the post deleted. I reccommend sending a message to DefaultTrust, going to the Outbox, hovering over the link of your PM and writing down the ID (number at the end).
If you posted a message in the auction section of these forums then your address will be safe as you cannot edit nor delete these messages.

But proving you posted that address and own that address could be a different story the hacker could of had hold of the account for a long time and posted that address.

And, what would happen if you switched to a new address? It would be hard proving that you're the owner of the account, I'm guessing.

I thought secret questions could not be changed. They are meant to be a passworld you won't be typing everywhere, so the keylogers won't catch, then no need to change if you use a strong secret passworld with maximum length and store it in some vault or something.

That would be why you would post your address in a auction listing early on when you first create your account, or when your account reaches any meaningful status (has positive trust, is a Senior Member or above).

It would be easy to prove that you owned that address as you could simply sign a message with your wallet from that address.

IMO, the easiest way is to use https://brainwallet.github.io/#verifyGrin

You would keep the old address too, knowing that you used it for account verification.

Go to the "verify message" tab, insert the address which signed the message, the message body and the signature, and click the verify button.
