Anyone can claim that. But can you proof it? Any digital signature that proves that holding?
That's an interesting question. I did a bit of searching on Google and I can't find anything that would let me encode something using my ETH private key file address for this account number to show I am actually in control of this account number. Anybody have any ideas on how to do that? I am running myetherwallet on my air-gapped computer where the key file is....
Thank you consideration! That is indeed not as simple as with bitcoin.
http://ethereum.stackexchange.com/a/2130Seems rather difficult. I give you the benefit of the doubt.
What would work is sending an 0.0458 ETH to 0xfB6916095ca1df60bB79Ce92cE3Ea74c37c5d359. (
https://www.ethereum.org/donate) Just a random amount and random recipient to be agreed upon as proof. When you are able to actually make that transaction while announcing it previously here it would proof ownership of that account.
Then again, whom am I to demand this proof from you. You may or may not do this also later when you sell (parts) of your your ICN.
What is in for you? I guess many people who add take you more serious than any other random user on this board. It would add weight to your opinion. Fame also. And you may be able to move market prices.
