How to sign a Bitcoin message using your private key
Video tutorial
Signing a Bitcoin message is a very easy process. In this video I am using a browser based approach using the github signature tool. Be aware that when copy and pasting private keys that you should not use a usb live linux distribution which was never connected to the internet. Sign the Bitcoin message being offline.

One should also consider that #Byteball could be a honeypot for #blockchain analysts.
Sure could be, run the software on a virtual computer. But still giving away my Bitcoin address.
But in all fairness I show everyone my wallet anyway - bitcoin-millionaire.com/my-btc-wallet/

I think there is a mistyping.
I think the correct one would be as follows.
"Be aware that when copy and pasting private keys that you should use a usb live linux distribution which was never connected to the internet."
