I dont see why the th last thread would get locked but hey if they do that then so be it, im just trying to help the community.
its because you dont need to prove anything while posting signed message in this thread. posting a bitcoin address is enough and only sign a message with it when needed.
Well, I am not sure whether you meant my thread. Anyway, I hadn't opened it in Meta, but TC opened it on the correct board next, it became more popular, so I just quoted everyone on my thread in his thread.
Why I asked signed messages was:
1. To avoid someone from posting addresses he cannot sign. It is really simple to confuse for someone who is new to this, so my thread made signing address mandatory.
2. To make people figure out how to sign the message first, rather than trying to figure it out then.
3. No one can post someone else's address (assuming date is included) due to error or for fraud.
It is a good way, if you prefer awareness over simplicity.
BTC address from Coinbase can be signed just go to the "Advanced" section then chose which address you want to sign and click "Details"
from there you can sign a message.
That was sort of the point here, a lot of new mwmbers think just posting a message is all they need for future refrence.
Addresses like some receiving addresses and also i think ones from Coinbase ect. can't be signed.
Post your signed BTC address here if you feel like it.
