you have to send 0.01 btc to the same address

you get txid

you post txid here
This way you can't prove that you own the address.

Now my question is how do I tell that my address/wallet is verified?
It's easy: After signing a message you've to give the address, the message and the signature to your business partner, which can then verify it with his own client.

Hello all,  I'm trying to sign a message from my Blockchain.info wallet to prove that my bitcointalk.org account hasn't been hacked.  I believe I sorted the matter out, here is the story.  I was having trouble figuring out the process but I think I figured it out but now I just have on last thing that has me confused.

At first I couldn't figure out why when I pushed the sign message button the signature code would change.  So I looked into it and opened a new window then went to verify message.  From there I copied and pasted the info that was in the sign message window into the verify message and clicked verify.  The page said message was verified which made me very happy.

Now my question is how do I tell that my address/wallet is verified?  By that I mean how does someone or me tell that it is completed?  I hope My question makes sense and thanks for the any help and advice you can give me!  Smiley

Edit: The wallet is blockchain.info
