Users who sign their post

[twister]

Wait til you get hacked. You'll sign every post you do then. I'm going to from now on once I get in my Coinbase account. Believe me you don't need to do it all the time, but every now and then you should. This way everyone will know it was at least you at this point in time. Take my advice, with the rise of stolen accounts, you won't regret it.

Sorry you got hacked buddy but I don't understand how signing post can recover stolen accounts.

When you sign a address it shows that you are the one signing it. It verifys the ip address its coming from.

What are you talking about?

I see some people sign their post and was just wondering why they feel the need to do that?
It annoys me just-a-wee-bit 

I mean what's the point?
Would anyone really think that this post was not made by me if I don't sign it?

LOL it annoys me too sometimes but I rarely sees it.

That's the problem:
let's say an hacker steals an account of someone who does that.
If he is a good hacker(or smart and not a script kiddie) he will just copycat your older posts. Lets say from now on I sign my post with F.E.
And I get hacked, but the hacker will just take couple of minutes to study your old posts and copy that. So, an hacker would just copy the fact you sign your posts.

Exactly, signing the end of your posts is just a habit some people have and if your account gets hacked the hacker just copycats and everyone else is none the wiser. What's this about it verifies the IP address it comes from

only mods would pay attention to ip

From my understanding, when you sign a message with your signature, it verifys that you was the user that created the address. So if someone else trys to sign a message with your signature, it won't verify because the ip's don't match.

Here is the thread that tells you how to sign a message.

[SimplisticStu]

the only acceptable method of proving ownership is by signing a message (including current date and desired new email address) using a Bitcoin address or PGP key associated with the account. A Bitcoin address or PGP key is associated with the account only if the account posted the key/address

If the original account holder did not post BTC address or PGP key then there is no association in existence.

It's only relevant to simple fucks like yourself who don't know what signing a post means.

You know, some people literally take you seriously as you speak, you need to be more specific.

Actually signing the message? Or contact info in the signature? Actual PGP signing is sorta rare I guess but useful in certain occasions.

People do the same thing with emails. I find it redundant.
