Of course anyone can create and sign an address, I do not expect this to do anything until the point that mining starts. However I figured it was best to have it done before mining starts just to 'have it done'.
Look, the problem now is that this address might receive coins followed by an announcement that mining is running successful, but that does not proof anything.
Please, instead of countering, just take a second and see this from my point of view. Do you see the problem here?
