I'm not sure if there's another thread for this already, or if this belongs in a different section. So basically I thought it would be helpful to post up your Bitcoin address in this thread in the event that your account gets compromised later on down the road. You can simply make a new alt account, sign the address that your original account posted here, and have irrefutable proof that you're the actual owner. It's not 100% guaranteed that you'll get your account back, but it's a pretty good start. Of course, if your account is compromised, the hacker could just come back to this thread and edit/delete whatever address you post here, so that's why I'm asking people to quote the address posted by the preceding user in this thread. Here's mine:

I read this from OP and it was a good idea and very simple to implement by anyone.
I have a new electrum wallet that I can generate my address and quote the previous comment and drop it.
But it seems that the pattern has changed from what the OP proposed.
People are doing something like this...

Not familiar on how this signing works so please tell me if I did something wrong thanks.

What should I do to stake my own address here please?
