I appreciate it, thanks, now all I need to do is to stake this address in the corresponding topic and thats it?

Now you don't need to do anything, you already staked your address here.

What are these signed message that are so important?

By signing a message, you prove that the staked Bitcoin address is yours.
So, for example, in case your account get hacked, you can create a new one then sign a new message with that Bitcoin address so the admin can restore the hacked account to you.

We cannot verify a message without your Bitcoin address and your message text Huh

Of course never reveal your private address

Oh sorry I guess i didnt understand the process properly. I thought I was supposed to post the signature and that will reveal my address and the message.
So do I need to post all 3? message, bitcoin address and signature for someone to verify it?

Yes, you need to post all these 3 things that you mentioned Wink

OK here are are 3 things, can someone please check and verify if its ok?

Code:

This is denis-z12 from bitcointalk and I am signing this message on 14/06/2018 in order to recover my account in case it ever gets hacked.

Is possible to sign a message with any currency or only with bitcoin?

You can sign message with a lot of wallets of different crypto currencies.
But if you want to protect your bitcointalk account you must sign a message with a bitcoin wallet and stake your bitcoin address here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=996318.new#new

I need this signed message thing but I'm not that techie when it comes to this kind of stuff, so I'm really confused on how to use it, I have an airbitz wallet, but I can't find the option for signing message, I guess it doesn't have one. So do I just need to change wallet? If so what is the best and secured wallet to use with sign message option? Thanks anyone

I am not familiar with the arbitz wallet but i am going to teach you how did i signed a message using blockchain.info.

Since you already have an existing wallet here are the things that you have to do.

1. Copy the private key of the address on your arbitz wallet(on where to find it. Sorry i dont have any idea since i am not using that wallet)

2.create a new account on blockchain.info there you are going to create a new wallet an online wallet.

3. Click settings on the lower left of your screen.

4. From there you can find an import wallet address. Click that one

5. Paste the wallet private key of your adbitz wallet's address.

6. Lastly you can now see that your adbitz wallet is imported. You can then see a word "action" on the upper left of that address box. Then click signed a message

If you are having a hard time please feel free to ping me or reply to this post. Goodluck

note:please do not forget NOT to share your private key to anyone

Up to you really... at the end of the day... anyone who understands how bitcoin signed messages works, should be able to get it to verify.

You have the 3 basic pieces of information:
1. Message
2. Signing Bitcoin Address
3. Signature

The format you put them in isn't THAT important, it might just confuse a newbie who attempts to verify it on brainwalletx and can't because of the extra "----BEGIN BITCOIN SIGNATURE-----" and the address being in the wrong place.

What system did you use to create the signed message in the first place? Huh

And did you copy/paste the output... or did you manually create the "-----BEGIN...." sections and just copy/pasted the 3 individual parts as listed above? Huh

Quoted... and verified using Electrum.

Doesn't quite verify exactly on brainwalletx as your formatting is incorrect... it SHOULD be:

Code:

-----BEGIN BITCOIN SIGNED MESSAGE-----
This address belongs to cpoer2011 (uuid 377005) from bitcointalk.org, today is 2018/05/25
-----BEGIN SIGNATURE-----

-----END BITCOIN SIGNED MESSAGE-----

Which will verify using brainwalletx

Should I post it again with the correct format? Thanks
