Stake your Bitcoin address here

[Financisto]

That's the thing: a staked address is meant to prove you're the long-term account owner. Your account is over 10 years old, your staked address was only a few years old.

I never used them anyway. I mainly created and staked them for testing purposes.

Staking a new one is exactly what an account buyer/hacker would do, it means you can no longer prove you're the long-term owner.

Account buyers/hackers might buy/hack accounts but it's not usual for them to buy/hack bitcoin private keys...

You're going to be disappointed: there is no "standard" for signing messages from Segwit addresses. Electrum came up with something, but Bitcoin Core can't even do it.

Don't worry about it. Electrum will do just fine! Others (devs) will follow in the future...

There's a bit of a contradiction there. You wrote that you are revoking those addresses, but also that you are using those addresses. When you sign a message using one of those addresses, what are we supposed to do?

Simple: If you receive (p.s. You won't!) a signed message from those "revoked" addresses → ignore that message entirely and its sender!

A signed message may be required for several reasons:
1. account hacked (need to recover)
2. Proof of ownership if anyone asks to prove the ownership for any specific reason
3. taking loan
4. Using escrow
5. Trading
For these reasons, the person can verify by any wallet used at least 3 months ago. If there are multiple wallets staked then the user is free to use any of them. But no one is bound to verify whether the user has used how many wallets and which has been revoked/deleted. While any previous wallet signed means the user has ownership. If any wallet has no ownership or has been hacked, then it is the user's responsibility to remove the wallet where the person posted. The person shouldn't have any space posted in that wallet.

Account sellers can easily sell a package deal: account + private key to a staked address.

But you wrote:

If they are revoked, then they can't be used to prove that you are the owner of those Bitcoin addresses.

(You should maybe add the current date in your message next time, or the last block number. Maybe someone could reuse your signed message in the future?)

Thanks man for your fast response and also for your advice, but how that can happen?

Not sure but we can imagine your account being hacked, the hacker asking for a loan in the Lending section of the forum. If something is unusual (reset password / changed email recently), someone would ask for a signed message from a staked BTC address. The hacker could use your message again pretending it's fresh.

But I agree, this is probably some excessive paranoia

I couldn't verify the signature. You have done something wrong.
Maybe, you made a mistake when copy-pasting the message or the signature.

You should verify your own post before posting.

Update:
I can verify this message with your signature:

Code:

You posted a screenshot here. I think you're on Bitcointalk for the wrong reasons: most of your posts are made to earn Merit, and by editing your message after signing you clearly show you don't understand what you're doing.
