Topic: Can I stake multiple BTC address? (Read 390 times)

You can of course use multiple Bitcoin addresses if you need to. there is no obligation. A Bitcoin address acts as security for that account on this forum.  If your account is hacked, you can get account back by signing the digital signature of that bitcoin address to prove ownership of your account.  So if you stake multiple accounts here then you may have to deal with some hassle. So stating multiple wallets in this forum will not give you a good experience. So it is better to stake as few addresses as possible. I wouldn't say you can't stake multiple addresses and this forum doesn't speak against stake multiple addresses either.

I know how you are feeling if you change your password and truly changing password is not a bad thing rather as the user when you change password always maintain your quality. Sometimes is suspicious but in some cases no one cares except your account is being controlled out of your capacity or noticing some strange involvement within your account then you can drag attention to yourself because people will start judging you by the activity of the account comparing it with the previous. But if we keep creating post like this it will flood the forum because overly people changes their password and they don't get tag or suspected for the activity.

That should scare anyone. In my case, I'm more likely to call off the trade or majestically double-check and won't hesitate to take note of any minute discrepancy. I've seen several scam attempts that way in a few of the P2P outlets I use and had to parry them all off. Scammers aren't that all smart as not to leave a trace. This is why I encourage everyone on this space not to be hasty while on any financial dealings, even while being hurried up. Take your time and you're likely to discover falsehood.

Yes you can stake multiple BTC addresses, of course  don't edit the previous post just create a new post with new singed message. And for recovery of your account once BTC address posted earlier than the date of question should be enough to prove your ownership of the account.

I will suggest stake your one address here on bitcointalk and don't use it any where else or don't store your funds in this address. In this case you won't need to change it just keep it safe and offline is better.

exactly this and it is especially important  if a well trusted legendary member does it.

Sometimes I float 5-10k in coin on a business deal if I do this I have to feel safe. Seeing the member just changed his pass word would scare me.

Why change what isn't broken? I don't see any need for the constant password change or reset when there's no suspicion that account has been compromised. What if the first password used is more reliable than the new one you're choosing? My advice is this – If it isn't broken, don't fix it.

I guess you're referring to the BPIP data. Well, I don't see anything wrong in it pointing out that an account has a password or email reset. Such documentation is good. I'm a member of a telegram group where a bot alerts other members in the group of a change of name of any member. Once any member changes name used on their profile, the bot alerts everyone of such event. It helps checkmate everyone and to a large extent help in reducing scam.

Thank you all, everything is crystal clear now. 


BTW you mistakenly replied twice instead of editing the original post.

Changing password is good or bad, it depends on how you set up your passwords.

If new passwords have same style and format of previous passwords, only have small differences, they are not good new passwords. Because if your old passwords are known, leaked, a tech guy can brute force your new passwords.

So if changing a current password to new one, don't reuse old one with minor changes. Always use random and unique passwords.

I think he is cool and not a bad guy. I do think his actions would weaken the warnings we have in place.

Oh I just sent the 0.1000 and change back from that ltc address

https://ltc1.trezor.io/tx/8e0cdcc4904622c3d7cb42fc811e9f74251029c42ca9ffbb6fe339f2baa2e1f0


BTW LTC is a dirt cheap way to id yourself I spent 0.00000301 in ltc to prove I control that address.

Simple to do compared to signing an address and just as effective.

Sometimes, when a person is too cautious, it can turn out to be bad for him, instead of good. As OP is too much concerned about changing the passwords  (Is resetting a BTT account password bad? and staking multiple bitcoins addresses (when he haven't done one yet).

In an ideal situation, we never need to change the password and stake one bitcoin address is enough to recover our account, in case our password is compromised.

When anyone is wanting to change the password often, it just bring doubts even though the OP seems to be very clear and i do not smell anything fishy, at least until now.

If you really control a btc address you do not need to sign it to prove it is yours.


Simple say my address is 123 bla bla bla.
It has very little  coin in it.  Pick an amount of btc lower than 0.00010000 and I will move it out.
That is pretty much just as good as signing for it. And it proves you control the address.

Or do it with LTC that's cheaper to move it about. You can prove you own control the  coin's address that way.



ltc1qu7sw3p78w5gq67276kuv6hu4e8zyj76zhnalmd is empty

I can put 0.1 ltc in it and withdraw it.

https://ltc1.trezor.io/address/ltc1qu7sw3p78w5gq67276kuv6hu4e8zyj76zhnalmd

that shows I control it and someone can quote the post I just made.

It is simpler to do that then sign a signature.

And as a demo I sent 0.10000166 into

ltc1qu7sw3p78w5gq67276kuv6hu4e8zyj76zhnalmd

I will with draw it in the morning thus it proves I control that ltc address and I only spent

0.00000166 ltc two times to prove it.

https://ltc1.trezor.io/tx/623fce1dd6eb352bd5754c4d7a1c27bd3a4c95e2debee03eaff9ae710b112cbf


here is the send info cost me 0.00000166 ltc to do it.

I will pull the coin out on Sunday.

Yes you can, but one is enough for recovery. just save your paraphrase key in safe place and also I will recommend to write in two or three notebook.


Then try Ethereum address staking which is easy and you can easily do it with your smartphone.

I never thought he purchased the account. I do think he is weakening the 120 day password warning.

So personally I don’t like what he is doing.

I have a strong suspicion that he has a fabrication of reasons for his behavior but I am wrong often and will leave it be.

Or maybe I will change my password once a month I sure that would make waves 🌊.

If someone looks carefully, OP earned all his 84 merits within last 120 days, so the assumption that he bought the account is baseless. Who would buy an account of a Newbie or Jr. Member?

Besides, OP also made some translations for me and he proved to be very serious and open to feedback, so let's not jump to any conclusion. He also told me from the beginning that he is only using a mobile phone. From my perspective there is no reason to think this is a bought account.

Here is the post I had made in the past. It may clear your confusion.
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.62660429

  hopefully

I haven't joined any signature, bounty or used my btc address anywhere in the forum. I have made several translation for GazetaBitcoin. I truly made this post, with a view to learn.

I didn't signed any message because I don't have any pc or laptop device. I am using mobile since the beginning. And I don't know if its possible to do this with mobile. It's not like my account is a very big ranked account. For others it may look like nothing, but for me it's very valuable. That is why I was concern. I am hoping, I can buy a desktop device within 3-4 months. Then I'll sign everything I need to. Another thing, I don't know how to sign, because I never signed before.  

Actually I think it could be a long term scam move. change your password 6 times a year or more so no one worries when you change it for the 7th time. Then do a scam and claim your password was robbed.

I am very tempted to tag him with a neutral.

I really do not understand your situation. If you are too much concern, you can sign a message saying this, but since you do not have access to the desktop, you can wait to reset your password till the time you get access to your computer ?

I just don't get it why there is so much emergency that you need to change your password then and there ? Take you time, once you back to your desktop change your password and sign a message (if you want). The notification of password change will still be visible regardless of you signing a message.

Has he really changed it three times?

That alone would make me want to give him a neutral. He has not been here a long time.

If you do a 20 character or more password no one is going to hack it.

OCT 27 ,2022 and he is on password 3 looking for # four.

That is poor judgement on his part.

I have a ballet cold wallet that can be used to secure user funds and as long as my wallet is not exposed to someone, I don't think I need to worry about anything. It's a steel plate and you can keep it safe like you keep your gold and diamonds if you have any.

BTW, I can see you are new to the forum and I expect you are in the industry as well. But you are not a newbie and by observing your account, sometimes i can see you have gained basic knowledge as well. So it should not be hard for you to secure your asset.

Thank you for the concerns, I really mean it. It's not that I lost my seed or something, its just I wanted know know, if by any chance someone looses it. I am serious about my account security. But despite everything, we still see, people loosing their seed, coins, account even with the highest security. 

I understood that it was very rare but not impossible. I don't have much interest in account recovery so may I know what factors they look at when recovering someone's account? I think it's not like you just sign in with your BTC address and they will give you access to that account.


I have learned my lesson before by losing a few thousand dollars. One time it was because of my carelessness and another time i wasn't careful enough to read the whole procedure (it was with a different blockchain where every time you use your Priver key to gain access to your account you will get a new one and your old one will be invalid).

I think it depends a lot on the account at stake to be recovered.
Although the pinned posts clearly say only BTC there is at least one case of recovery via ETH:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/--5284615


Same thing I asked OP about, if you can't keep your seed safe, then what about your coins?

What if someone didn't use any BTC address in the forum before? Sometimes we lose access to our seed phrase if we are not serious enough about our account security. One question arise in my mind is that possible to use another address to recover? In case someone uses his BTC and ETH or other address in the forum and he only have access to his ETH address or any other address from a different blockchain.

That was in the past. I wasn't much active at that time. I was having hard times, couldn't focus on anything. I have only been fully active in the forum for the last 2-3 months. After that, I never changed my password a single time. And I intend to keep active this time no matter what. That's the main reason for my concern. I don't want to violate any rules. So, I created this thread solely for learning.

Signing a Bitcoin message is only one of proof for your account ownership but it is not the only proof and is not enough if you only have it to prove you are a real owner of one account.

Forum admins and global moderators can request you more evidence. Because if you store everything in one device, in one file like forum account password, wallet password ..., hackers can access to everything you have. So a signed message is not enough.

Forum account: security, privacy, and recovery

What wallet do you currently use?

Mycelium Wallet has a feature to sign and verify messages if you have a backup private key you can import it to Mycelium Wallet but make sure you only use it on an offline device for safety purposes.

If you are using Electrum then currently it does not have this feature but someone mentioned this feature on Electrum Github to add sign/verify message and I saw someone contribute and tested it to Android. Let's hope developers will add this to the next Electrum version.

Tbh, I don’t really get why some users like to draw unnecessary attention to themselves. You have already changed your password thrice so why not just proceed to change it the fourth time rather than create this thread?

Password change ≠ hacked account/ bought account.

The only time an account becomes suspicious whether they were hacked or bought is when they have been inactive for a long period and then comes to the forum with an entirety different posting style or their posting style change from a constructive poster to that of a typical spammer or if there’s a sudden change of interest that’s when suspicion arises, not just because password was changed.

Oh god, imagine we would have 10 000 users changing their passwords so each day we have two full pages of me x I'm changing my password!!! People are going to get bored by it and nobody is going to give a damn about it anymore.

Nobody is suspicious of you changing that or reading the message, it becomes suspicious when you're a trusted member here, you go offline for two weeks, then you change your password and you post malware links, that's when everyone is suspicious, or when after 8 years of writing only French you change it and start speaking Indonesian or Nigerian or Russian only.


Shouldn't you be more concerned about your coins rather than a member account on a forum?
Fix those issues first if you think you're in danger of losing a seed or a privatekey!

No nobody accused me of anything. I just wanted to know because I was curious. I can't help my curiosity, and there isn't any rules says I can't question. 

I changed 3 times because I keep forgetting my password. I never saved or noted my password because I consider Bitcointalk very valuable. Luckily this time it's written on my dairy.

Email is still the same, if you check. 

According to BPIP, you have already changed your password via email three times. Did anyone accuse you of account changing hands?

If there's nothing suspicions, no one will accuse you of account changing hands just because you changed your password.
If there's something suspicious, you won't change anything just because you created a thread saying you will change your password before changing the password without proving you are the real owner of the account.


Threads can be deleted only by moderators.
Whether you have posted your topic on Archival or other boards, there is no way you can delete the topic by yourself.

There are no restrictions to stake as many as you wanted though to me it's important you stake only 2 address whereby whenever you lost access to one you can use the other to restore your account here, otherwise it's not necessary to have much address staked.

But does staking multiple address worth?
To me you can be more careful with your account because staking your address is simply trying to protect your account if should any hack or compromise maybe unusual activity that may arise your stake address could stand as a backup to your account.

If you think you can't manage one address alone effectively, what makes you think you will have the capacity of coping when you're dealing with multiple wallet addresses, this will rather make things complicated to you instead, only one address is good and ok as long as you have a secured means to have access to that wallet, then you need to be also careful not to expose all your personal credentials to the public, especially that deals with the wallet that you use, there's no point in signing two addresses if i will advise on this, just try and maintain what you have.

There is no rule against it.

What you store is your seedphrase and not the private key. A hardware or software failure does not affect your offline back up. If your address is compromised, you should exclude it as a source of recovering your account.

None AFAIK.
There are boards you cannot delete your posts until 24 hours, but that is the maximum.

1# Staking 1 bitcoin address is enough, but you can take more than that.

2# You are free to change your password whenever you want, you can even change your email. As long as there is no change in personality, writing, or way of communicating, no one will doubt that it is you

3# Don't worry too much, if you don't make a mistake then everything will be fine

As far as I know, only Archival board prohibits you from deleting your own thread but can still be able to edit

It's a good practice, but DT members can't just mark their accounts RED solely because they see someone changed their password. There needs to be additional evidence that suggests this account changed hands, such as changes in writing style or a shift in the boards they typically post in.

1 staked address will do just fine as long as you have the access to that particular wallet and be able to signed them again by mentioning the current date.

For example: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/signed-message-email-address-change-5408323

You can but what is the point to have more than one address?
If you join any signature campaign or games and rounds, you might use different addresses. Staking one address doesn't mean you can only use that one to prove ownership. You can sign any address you've used on the forum before. It serves the purpose well.

Don't go to extremes; where have you seen someone confirm their Bitcoin address to change their password?
But on another issue, you can write several Bitcoin addresses; in case of hacking, you will have to confirm any address that was on the forum before you were hacked or lost your forum password.

I was wondering if I could stake multiple BTC addresses on Bitcointalk! We all know that, in case our account gets compromised or hacked, we can use our stacked BTC address to sign a message to show that I am the real owner of the account in order to recover the account.

No matter how much we try to protect something, sometimes we cannot. It's the same for the BTC address. That's why we see many cases of losing passphase or private keys due to hardware or software failure. It can be intentional or unintentional. Hacking, phishing or other means. Accidents happen, regardless of the precautions we take.

I had another question. It may sound somehow off topic. Is there a board on Bitcointalk where posts can't be edited or deleted?

I want to change my Bitcointalk password because it's been some time since I changed it. I feel like we should change our password at least once a year. But I don't like the message that says, This user recently changed the password. It may sometimes make others suspicious. That's why, before changing the password, I want to make a post on Bitcointalk saying, I, DYING_S0UL, the real owner of this account, am going to change the password.

Some might say, Why don't you stake BTC or PGP and sign a message saying that? The thing is, I don't have a desktop device at this moment. Most of the time, I use Bitcointalk on my mobile. I hope everyone understands my situation.
