Let's say that someone sends me some ETH. How can I prove to a third party that I am the actual recipient of that transaction? The third party is anyone with access to the blockchain. In other words, I want to send some data to this third party that allows it to verify that I am the recipient of a specific transaction on the blockchain.

  • This question needs a lot more detail. Who needs to prove? What is the proof method? (ie. address, hash, etc.) Is the third-party a contract?

  • Why can't you just send a transaction from the same address which received the original transaction?

You could sign a message hash using the private key of the account that received the transaction. ecrecover can be used to verify the signature was generated from that account.
