Stake your Bitcoin address here

Quoted, but this proves nothing. Please sign a message to prove you actually do control the address. Have a read: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=990345.0

I'd argue that proving control of the address right now wouldn't be necessary. Proving control by signing a message when the account is hacked is what matters in the end. Or is there more to it than meets my eye?

It's probably best to try and sign a message now... proving not only to everyone else but, most importantly, to yourself that you can actually sign a message from that address.

There have been numerous examples in the past of people using addresses from custodial wallets and web wallets like blockchain.com (for staking here and also for airdrops etc), not realising that they are not able to sign a message using their wallet's UI.

Then, when the time comes that a signed message is "required" (ie. account recovery, airdrop claiming etc)... suddenly they find they can't.


Also, some people need/want stake addresses for sig campaigns, loans, trading etc. As it doesn't "cost" anything other than time to sign a message now... there really isn't any reason not to sign a message while staking your address.

I do control the wallet that contains this address but I'm having trouble producing signed messages for it because it's not accepting my wallet password, which I still remember, there was no malicious activity so my BTC is safe, maybe something's wrong with the wallet file. I'll import my seed phrase into a new wallet tomorrow and see if I can get my wallet to open.

This thread is reserved for staking btc addresses that can be used to prove ownership in case of account compromision or to prove account ownership when needed.
If you want to use pgp signature to stake your own btc address, then you can use this topic here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1159946.0

I do control the wallet that contains this address but I'm having trouble producing signed messages for it because it's not accepting my wallet password, which I still remember, there was no malicious activity so my BTC is safe, maybe something's wrong with the wallet file. I'll import my seed phrase into a new wallet tomorrow and see if I can get my wallet to open.

If you can't sign a message from that address, then it's useless to stake it. Just use another one or try to open your wallet in another client.

Alright, in that case I managed to fix my wallet in time so here's a signed messaged from it, although it's not in BEGIN BITCOIN SIGNED MESSAGE format because I couldn't get Electrum to generate them that way.

Code:

Format of the message :

I see some issues with this message :
There is no date, now everyone can copy this one and use it pretending that it's you.
I suggest use this format :

Quoted (again) and also verified

Note that Electrum won't generate them in that format... just copy paste the "Bitcoin Signed Message" format template from below and fill in the "blanks" NOTE: don't include the <'s and >'s!

Code:

-----BEGIN BITCOIN SIGNED MESSAGE-----
<YOUR MESSAGE GOES HERE>
-----BEGIN SIGNATURE-----
<YOUR ADDRESS GOES HERE>
<THE GENERATED SIGNATURE GOES HERE>

So yours would be:

-----BEGIN SIGNATURE-----
142eRsdiiteSL6pbBAV2NXRRZuCwz94pYP

-----END BITCOIN SIGNED MESSAGE-----

Also, your "message" is not very 'good'. You should really include your username, the date and the reason for signing the message. I mean, anyone could send that same message to someone else and claim that they own that address

A better message would be something like:

Code:
