It's for verifying messages. That this is Happybitcoin. (signed messaged) they can take the sign message and input into a verifier. If it comes up false they know I've been hacked and not me.. Etc

Etc exactly, and for additional purposes is by getting your own private key, so that if those hackers so eager to hack your account, they might be needed your private key as well. So safety first first, be wise and have presents of mind always....

Thank you so much grifter for this I've been into bitcoin for so long but yet I don't know what is this private key for and I don't even get it, how to hack our wallet balance with private key only? Anyways, thanks once again Griff! remember we don't own any website bitcoin wallets there like qoinpro, poloniex, localbitcoins,coins.ph or what so ever, thats why we really need to have this because it is very important to us in our side that we need to take care all our bitcoins if you get what im saying, and by the way, blockchain.info/wallet maybe we cannot sign a message there, i tried it, but i dont know on your side, its for you to find it out, actually i used electrum wallet before coins.ph, but i still can access it there because of my private key, base on my experienced its very convenient wallet for me also...
Kargai Posted December 7, 2017 #10 Posted December 7, 2017 I'm not using any online wallet, only local wallet on a external hard drive. But still I have put a private key to access the wallet, just in case.

Kargai Posted December 7, 2017 #12 Posted December 7, 2017 1 minute ago, Grifter said: thats what im talking about @Kargai , uhm what kind of wallet did you used? Only the official core wallets for every crypto i wanna hold long term : Bitcoin, Litecoin, Dash & Ethereum. And i'll add Bitcoin Cash wallet in the next few months. I also have the Dogecoin core wallet because i have thousands of them but i will sell them at one point or another in 2018 probably. Same with Burstcoin, i stake them for now but if i don't see the price rising next year i will dump them too.

I tried to 'write anything', but it says : "incorrect padding". How to fix this? Thanks by the way and sorry for bothering you!

This is my last question, I fill up the address and the message section while leaving the signature empty. Then when I submitted it, then that's it. I got no "verified' message
