Why people posting their signature ? Address is not enough ?
So if they get hacked! how they wanna restore their account ? because hacker see they signature on this topic
It is a signed message. You need the private key to the address to sign a message from it. Somone can hack a forum account but they can't hack a Bitcoin address and forge a signed message. So if you can
sign another message later on from the same address you did here you can prove you are the real owner.
If someone calling Mods about hacking issue & they asking for signature, How they knows if it signed again or not ?
i mean the next signature for same address will be different ? i thought signature will be same for ever.
Hello my name is invoking and today is March 23, 2018. It is a new message with my already staked address.
Bitcoin address is enough but it is preferable to stake a message to proof that this address is yours.
I can stake an address containing
BTC100 that exists in someone else wallet and you will quote it. Does this mean that this address is mine? Then i will said that i was hacked. How should I convince others that this address is mine? It is by already providing a signed message.
Now for accounts in bitcointalk, it is the same. Your account is hacked, give a new signed message from the address you already staked here.
Signed message is required when you stake your address because many people don't pay attention sometimes that they can't sign a message with their wallets...
