Thanks everyone for the help

this place seems very friendly I hope I have a great time here

At first it seems that way. Not for long so please be alert.

As for your thread, it has been answered so now you have an opportunity to lock it. Good luck with everything. I hope you have a great experience here.

#1 use a strong password
#2 dont use that password elsewhere
#3 use a strong password for your mail
#4 dont use that password elsewhere
#5 learn how to sign a message -> https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/how-to-sign-a-message-990345
#6 stake your address -> https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/stake-your-bitcoin-address-here-996318
#7 use a strong password for your wallet
#8 dont use that password elsewhere
#9 (optional) learn how to use PGP
#10 (optional) stake your PGP pubkey -> https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/the-bct-pgpgpg-public-key-database-stake-your-pgp-key-here-1159946
#11 use a strong password for your PGP private key

#don't have a security question setup on your account

#don't access the forum from an untrusted network connection
#check the https keys of bitcointalk whenever you access the forum

Done.Thanks is it protected now? How will this procedure help me prevent my account from hacking or stealing?

If you account gets hacked or if you lose your password, you still can recover it following this topic:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/recovering-hacked-accounts-or-accounts-with-lost-passwords-497545

I would focus on password security because recover accounts may take a while

Post it in the same thread where you posted the address. Ask for someone to quote your message

That's all!

Good luck!

make an address which you totally control.
Go to Tomatocage's thread and post it there, so you can prove your ownership later, if something happens to your account.
You'll need to be able to sign a message from that address.
