Why? What will change?

[Bitcoinsummoner]

Why? What will change?

If you delete/loss your private key then you would not be able to verify ownership of your account. As a result if there is something in question about the ownership of the account then you cant verify that the account is yours. When you need it?
1. To take a loan
2. To proof the account is yours when email/password is change
3. When your account hacked or you loss access of the account

If you have a paper wallet somewhere, and you don't want to mess with it until is really necessary (security reasons) I think it should be OK to stake only the address.

It would be even better to print a new paper wallet only for staking. If you use a trusted website (https://www.bitaddress.org/ is currently the only one I would trust, but you should still be very careful before actually funding such a paper wallet) and print it offline from a Linux LIVE DVD, you're about as safe as it gets.

Oh, nevermind then. I've deleted every bitcoin software/wallet I had.

This guy knows a thing or two about Bitcoin:

You should never delete a wallet.

[BlackHatCoiner]

@LoyceV why do you trust it? Do you know the owners of it? Or have you tried generating keys without internet connection?

Also, I still don't get why I should never delete a wallet. Since I keep my private keys in safe places...

Wallet is the first thing to care about when one joins crypto but to choose which wallet to use for storing your funds, no one can tell you what you must do, they can only advise what you should do. In your turn, it depends on your understandings or preference or habit to choose which wallet you will use.

Fundamental rules:
- Prioritise to use non-custodial wallets if you can because you will have control on your private keys.
- Create your wallets offline because no one can steal your private keys at the time you create your wallet.
- Keep your computers as cleanest as possible because it will make sure no one can compromise your computer.
- Back up your wallet and test your backup for later recoveries.

Third party wallets, especially web wallets should be considered to use with some kind of risks because you don't know that ONLY you have control on your private key or the web wallet provider will have it too.

@LoyceV why do you trust it? Do you know the owners of it? Or have you tried generating keys without internet connection?

As long as I've known the site, I've never read anything bad about it (unlike several other paper wallet websites). I've used it (obviously offline), without any problems.
You can make your paper wallet rely less on the site by using a split key and vanity search on 2 independent offline systems. Even if one of the systems would be compromised and not give you a proper random key, the end-result of both keys together will still be random as long as at least one of them uses a proper random function. I think that's a bit excessive if you only use the paper wallet to stake an address.

Also, I still don't get why I should never delete a wallet. Since I keep my private keys in safe places...

Keeping a backup of your keys is the equivalent of keeping your wallet. You're good to go

Thank you. It seems to me that http://coinig.com has a problem validating vanity addresses or something  

No. It just can't verify signed messages with line break. But a lot of people love to use them for whatever reason

Nice one clever-clogs 

Message has be resigned without a line break.

I've recently got my account back but I'm not 100% confidant if the address above has not been compromised or not due to being on a computer which was infected.
So I'm staking a new address on a new computer from a new bitcoin wallet installation.

maybe it's quite stupid question but what for should you stake your BTC address

[bL4nkcode]

Its answered on the first post of this thread.

Its to give proof if ever your account is hacked and compromised.

If someone steals your account, you will have your address quoted here. If you prove later that you own your address (by signing a message) you can get it back without trying to convince the admins that someone stole it.

i can not seem to sign a message with blockchain.com wallet and yet i would love to have my wallet staked, does positing my wallet here serve the same purpose, if so then i will leave my wallet here.
