What if you are in a signature campaing tho? they remove you from the campaing if you don't use the same address every month, and you have to put it publicly in your bitcointalk profile. Is there any risk into any of this?

I have absolutely no interest in encouraging the excessive spam in this forum by legitimizing the ridiculous signature campaigns. The fact that they require you to re-use bitcoin addresses is evidence enough for me that they are not well thought out and are poorly managed.

What about mining on eligius? Or mining on a pool that allows you to lock the payout address (BTC guild is one example of this). If your account at the pool gets hacked and your payout address is locked then you would not be able to suffer any losses.

I agree that signature campaigns do somewhat add to the level of spam on this forum, but I think it would still be here otherwise. I would argue the same principle would apply if someone's forum account were to get hacked that was enrolled in a signature campaign, their earnings would not be stolen by the hacker.

Both of these examples would give disincentives for people to try to hack forum accounts (and pool accounts).
