✅ Stake your Bitcoin address

[examplens]

To convey the good things here as well. I don't know what the practice has been until now when it comes to the recovery of forum accounts here, I've only seen a few such requests.
Staking a Bitcoin address here can help a lot in the case of the need to prove the ownership of an account.

So it is necessary to leave a signed message here from an address to which have access. It is also necessary that any other member verify the message and confirm with a quote.
some ideal message formats:

username
purpose (Altcoinstalks)
address (it does not have to be an address that is actively used, but it is important that it is an address that is always accessed)
date

I'll start here:

-----BEGIN BITCOIN SIGNED MESSAGE-----

Someone should verify the message and confirm by quoting the part of my post that refers to it.

Congratulations for creating this topic examplens. Great idea.

Maybe an alternative method here would be allowing users to also sign messages with ethereum, as this an altcoin forum.

Quoting for reference.

That would certainly be interesting to have as an option.
Maybe someone could make a thread with explanations about the purpose and how to sign/verify the message. I have a feeling that there are a lot of crypto beginners here who have never used this feature. To learn something new, why not?

Is someone actually using signing and verifying messages on other blockchains?
I never heard about that and I never saw this was possible in all altcoin wallets I used.
I suppose this would be possible with bitcoin forks like Litecoin, BCH and others, but I am not sure about ethereum.

I know that people use metamask to sign stuff to log in. That can even be done with bitcoin using some wallets like UniSat (it is in my todo list to study)

It is also in my todo list make a tool similar to brainwallet to verify and a sign messages, which also accepts segwit (brain wallet doesnt)

Do you think people would use it?

You can with Ethereum too. That's not a problem.

In your data-science? It will be a very useful tool and this will also increase your visitors too.

Meanwhile, here I am staking my address.

In Trezor Suite, you can create a signed message using the ETH Address in Trezor (BIP137) or Electrum format (compatibility signature format).

In the past, I've tried MyEtherWallet to create a Sign Message using the ETH Address.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3383051.msg35709111#msg35709111.
However, currently the sign/verify ETH address feature is no longer available in MEW.

It can also be done on Ethereum without any problem. Here you have more information about it:
