Apparently you can with a MultiSig address...

Quote from: https://www.stellar.org/blog/bitcoin-claim-lumens-2/

1. Authenticate with Facebook.
2. Enter your Stellar account ID.
3. Enter your Bitcoin address. For P2SH (multisig) addresses, you will be asked for a redeem script.
4. Sign a displayed message. For P2PKH (normal bitcoin address) only one signature is required. For P2SH (multisig) addresses you need to provide as many signatures as required to release the funds from a P2SH address.
5. If signatures are correct, lumens will be sent to your Stellar account.

Not quite sure exactly what sort of redeem script they require, or how you go about generating it... and getting 2 sigs using a 2FA wallet would require you to ask TrustedCoin for help or to restore your 2FA wallet using your seed which apparently puts 2 of the 3 keys on your computer... see: http://docs.electrum.org/en/latest/2fa.html

Pay attention to the note at the bottom tho:

Quote

Note: The “restore” option should be used only if you no longer want to use TrustedCoin, or if there is a problem with the service. Once you have restored your wallet in this way, two of three factors are on your machine, negating the special protection of this type of wallet.

Hi HCP,

Could you please confirm if I restore my 2FA wallet using seed, could I sign the 2 of 3 '1' start address and claim the XLM?
Thanks

hi guys,
I met the same problem, and asked to sign 2 of 3 address form P2SH address.
If I give up the electrum 2FA wallet and restore, could I sign after that?

No, you can't sign messages with multisig address (starting with '3'). There is a way to prove ownership of that address. For that, see post above yours.

@heropzy: Posting once is enough. And restoring 2FA wallet using seed will still create multisig address, not P2PKH address (starting with '1'). So, no! Please read post above yours before asking questions again!

It's too late... they took the snapshot like 2 days ago... if your coins were not in the address when they took the snapshot... putting them there now will achieve nothing.

Unless you can figure out how to get your redeemscript(s) for the address(es) that contained your coins when the snapshot was taken AND how to get 2-of-3 sigs for those address(es)... then you will not be able to participate in the Lumens giveaway...

EDIT: Well... it seems you can simply recreate the redeem script within Electrum itself... Thanks to this post by Abdussamad: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.19822954

You can use the console within Electrum (or use the "New MultiSig Address" feature on Coinb.in) to generate the redeem script for your Electrum 2FA address... NOTE: you must ensure that you put the public keys in "lexicographic order"... as Electrum does not necessarily show them in the correct order! Lexicographic effectively means "numerical and alphabetical" order... for instance, a key that starts 02e6 comes BEFORE 02e7 and 0334. Order in hex is: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 a b c d e f

If you don't get the keys in the right order, then the generated address and redeemScript will be incorrect!

Code:

>> createmultisig(2, ["02e61b5030d21d2a520e19a22ce7180310d79c48f377a586d926fe38ff6f7df534","02e796ea85ac10b9c12a9b812982844b4b31c71c8a754b74c5213f9b0f7b6f456d","03341434abf31791a735e02ccc2cad2c1ddda85686545639b6f039c2317cd89125"])
{
    "address": "3KcuqgVsoxCZPv7ZuGSY7LHFyaxbib4dLs", 
    "redeemScript": "522102e61b5030d21d2a520e19a22ce7180310d79c48f377a586d926fe38ff6f7df5342102e796ea85ac10b9c12a9b812982844b4b31c71c8a754b74c5213f9b0f7b6f456d2103341434abf31791a735e02ccc2cad2c1ddda85686545639b6f039c2317cd8912553ae"
}
>>

Now, the hard part will be signing the message required by the Lumens giveaway using 2 of the 3 private keys...

my wallet is with 2fa

Unfortunately, Electrum 2FA wallets generate MultiSig address. As you cannot sign messages using MultiSig addresses you will not be able to do this. You can only use "standard" Pay-to-PubKey-Hash (P2PKH) addresses to sign messages... these addresses all start with "1"

sorry, I am noob.
I do not see any addresses which start with "1" in my wallet. Looks like I can not apply for https://www.stellar.org/blog/bitcoin-claim-lumens-2/ Sad

If you want to sign using a Bitcoin address, you need the P2PKH address.

Go to File>New/Restore>Select Standard wallet> Create a new seed. Copy the seed down and remember it. You will then have generated a normal P2PKH wallet. Unfortunately, you cannot claim that giveaway since the snapshot has been taken already.

can I do it with bitcoins on my wallet? or I can lose them during this procedure

Hello,

please help. I need Sign a message Electrum.

I downloaded new version. I have found right option (Sign a message Electrum), have found my address with bitcoin, after the typing a pass I have receive -cannot sing messages with this type of address.

how can I solve this problem?

What type of address are you trying to sign with? I'm guessing that it is a multisig or 2FA wallet that you are attempting to sign with?

In that case, I don't think it is possible to sign a message with a multisig address. See https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1576803.5

I would like to do same like here..
