I don't know if I am qualified. I forgot to put signature before when staking my BTC address.

It is fun to sign the signature again, and plus a possible merit! Cheesy

I need to go backwards to find this address because I changed it few times, but I keep all private keys just in case I need them one day. It take few months after registration to even notice that sign address is important to prove the ownership over the forum account.

Post where my address is staked: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.23020717
I know that I'm not eligible to get Merit because my address was staked only in 2017. But I just want to say how important to have staked address. It already helped to recover my account when it was hacked: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.24763320. Without my staked address I wouldn't be there today.

The problem with that is my staked address is from a 2013 wallet which I have possibly compromised by claiming all the forked coins from. I don't think it's a practical requirement.

My staked addy got compromised when I copied the private key into Google Sad

But indeed, I didn't think about Forkcoins when writing this. Even so, I trust a funded staked address more than an unfunded address.

My opinion is that whatever ever you do, staked addresses can't be effective against account sales. They are effective with hacked accounts though. The age of the staked address is far more important than it being funded particularly with accounts older than the 2015 hack.

Example https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.39496681

2013 account stakes an address 2 days ago. A quick look at its posts and it used to post only in Chinese until going to sleep in 2014. Then it wakes up in 2017 and only posts in English.

Accounts that were farmed and sold post 2015 could well have been sold with an email address and private key by the more sophisticated account farmers. Merit is the way that business has been stopped.

No... an address only isn't enough. You need to be able to PROVE that you own/control that address. You do that by signing a message from that address. By signing the message, it is then impossible to change it later, as it will break the signature and invalidate the message.

To stop account buyers from just buying an account including private key to the staked address, it would be good to require funds in the address before considering anyone the real owner.
If the new owner puts 0.1BTC on the staked address, the seller can take his funds. I value a funded staked address more than an unfunded one.

And why do you reward people with merit for that? Any idea? Was merit implemented for that? I guess no and can't understand why so many user plays this merit charity game.

Honestly, because I had like 100 sMerit and had really been struggling to find posts worthy of merit... Also, I like the idea of people pro-actively staking addresses to help deter account theft. I think it is a positive thing and if everyone did it, I believe it would be a lot easier for people to recover hacked accounts.

I'd actually hoped more "member" and "full member" types would take advantage of this threads so they get the double bonus of staked address and some merit.

I think sign isn't needed, only adress is enough too for this moment.

He wrote in the first post why he decided to give merits to users who are able to sign a message. He has a very good reason to do it, after all this is a bitcoin forum.
