Hi folks, I've changed the bitcoin address I wish to use for the campaign (and other forum stuff). I've updated my profile info. Can I be sure that you'll pay to my new address this week based on this? Or should I send someone a private message to remind to update the spreadsheet? Thanks!
Hi, post your address in this thread with a request to change it. Just for the record.
Thanks
Just a reminder for a caution;
I don't say that account is hacked but it's a common sense that if an account wants to change payout addres it might be hacked.
I think tspacepilot should post a signed message with the old payout address that says "I want to change my payout address to this one. today's date."
That prooves his identity, if the account is hacked hacker won't be able to proove that one.
Also this method should be a standard for all signature campaings (who wants to change payout address).
I certainly can sign a message with my old address (because I still have the keys to do so).
However, if this were a requirement of the campaign, it's really important that it be said upfront because, had the situation been different, I may have simply lost my device or had a wallet stolen. FWIW, if my wallet had been hacked then you could be forcing the attacker to sign a message. Signing a message doesn't prove that my situation hasn't changed and it would be unfortunate if people who had lost a wallet for some reason or another couldn't prevent the campaign from sending bitcoins to a lost or stolen address.
I'm not saying payout address signing is a must it's a should.
If the participant looses the control of the current payout address (or maybe using an exchange address), (s)he can sign another address which is posted before on an unedited post to proove identity.
Okay, I will might make that mandatory for any
suspicious address change.
In case an account is hacked, especially an active user's it will more likely open up a thread in Meta boards regarding the hack. Also, in the trust page, there will be a Warning that "
This user's password has been changed recently".
None of this has happened with tspacepilot and I am pretty sure that was not the case.
Well, if a not very active member requests for an address change and if there are any red flags anywhere, I will certainly ask for a signed message.
@tspacepilot, you may sign the address and make a post here if you like.
Thanks
