[Merit] Hey Newbies! Can You Sign A Message?

[OgNasty]

Hey Newbies (& Jr Members)! I want to give you the opportunity to earn some merit by using your Bitcoin client (or whatever you use). There is a great guide linked below showing you how to sign a message. If you can sign a message from your Bitcoin address with your bitcointalk username, post it here and I will send you merit. Enjoy!

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=990345.0

Example:

Address: 1BitcoinAddressGoesHere
Message: I’m OgNasty, it's 12/16/2020 and I can sign a message.
Signature: 1BitcoinSignedMessageSignatureGoesHere

Anyone wishing to comment about potential abuse of my generosity on this thread, please read my response below:

I believe your good nature in this undertaking has been abused right from the start:

Indeed.  That is what this community does and isn't limited to merit.  If what you say is happening in this thread is true, then it is a very good example of how this forum is allowing scammers to make multiple accounts to abuse the system for their own benefit at the cost of generous members offering their time and resources to help others.  If you think people are willing to go far to earn a merit, imagine the kind of nonsense occurring to get multiple accounts into the DT network to inflate their trust ratings and punish those who stand up against them.

I didn't make this thread to cast assumptions about users or try to catch them making alt accounts.  I'm not foolish enough to think that's possible with the tools I have access to.  Certainly the alt account issue is something this forum's administration should be taking care of, especially given the way the trust network is setup and it's perceived importance among it's lower tier members.  I hope that if this is the turn this thread is taking, maybe it can show just how bad of a problem alt account abuse is, and why this decentralized forum policing system was doomed before it was launched as the alt account abuse problem wasn't taken care of and instead the abusers were empowered with the new system.  I also wonder why the infamous forum police around here are not tagging these members if they are abusing alt accounts to earn merit, as they certainly tag many users for less.  There are many here that claim their ability to tag abusers with negative trust is their contribution to the Bitcoin community, yet when I look at the accounts I supposedly shouldn't be giving merit to because they're abusers, I see no negative trust.

If I can make a small suggestion to improve the *cough* quality of those applying for merits from you?

My suggestion is that you limit the applicants to newbies who registered on the Forum PRE 2020-09-11, 17:04:23 (11^th of September, 2020) registration, (the creation date of your first such thread) that way you aren't gifting users of questionable values who have gone out and created a string of new accounts just to make multiple claims of merits.

This signature couldn't be verified so I could not give you any merit.  You also have the ability to "verify" these signatures on your end using the same software you used to sign it.  Please check to make sure your signature can be verified before posting it here to avoid having to wait to hear from someone that it can't be verified to try again.

If anyone wanted to help point out posted signatures like this that can't be verified, I would be appreciative.

You forgot to include your username. 

[Timelord2067]

You forgot to include your username.  

hossamdz has already been banned in the <12 hours since they posted.

With your permission, I'd like to make a list of those who have been banned after claiming to see if there are any connections between the users?

Code:

Date Registered: 	2017-09-06, 08:18:15	hossamdz	Trust List	N	N	Y	N	SecLog Activity		Y

It might also be helpful if you were to post this quote in your OP:

If you wanted to continue updating the list on your post or make another thread, that is fine.  I don't want to see a lot of continued posting that will discourage new users from participating though.  My concern is for the experience of actual legitimate users and I don't really care about the scammers and spammers on this thread to give them continued attention.  I just hit ignore.

You need to check again as its showing wrong signature.

Maybe the last dot of the Message will be removed. and where you tried to verify the message? In a wallet like Electrum? or in online sign message verifier sites? I am asking this because the online verifier site basically does not verify the address start with bc1 But you can follow this post to verify SegWit address in brainwallet How to verify SegWit signature with Brainwallet ?

I have tried this way and got the result is verified if I remove the DOT in the message texts. I used https://tools.bitcoin.com/verify-message/

According to your link  you only need to place the message and signature to verify it's signed (but that doesn't guarentee it's the correct wallet unless you do some digging deeper)
