No. This is a bitcoin forum. We don't need these threads for every other alt coin for users to easily spam a post in.

Hi everyone. 
I would just like to ask if it is possible for us to post our ETH addresses here along with the signature
for the sole purpose of proving our ownership of our account and to possibly recover it if it is hacked.
People would post their ETH address, Signature Hash, and Signature Message; and if possible, someone would quote it and verify the signature.
Kinda like what Mr. Tomatocage is doing on this thread: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/stake-your-bitcoin-address-here-996318
Now, I'm not an expert on Ethreum and I don't really know if their would be loopholes on this method.
Anyone could shed a light the technical issues would be greatly appreciated.
I would also like to ask Sir Theymos if this method can be used to recover a hack account here on bitcointalk.
Web Services that I know of that can sign and verify ETH Addresses.
https://www.myetherwallet.com <----- it's .com, not anything else..be ware of phising sites
(users can sign and verify their addresses here.)
https://etherscan.io/verifySig
(users can verify signatures here, not sure if they can sign a message tho)
Here's an Example: https://etherscan.io/verifySig/37
My ETH Address: 0x69d98bB4D7e20706D9F54207a0e2Eb0107AD62f5
Signature Hash: 0x3af473e088854ca979c0c914f5137eda9c334d196d3e4ac985abd571558b086050394a8b68f9b 3858f49e90ff2382f83a4723cf977a1d5ecb451482698d5842d1c
