Nice tool for verifying messages.  I hadn't used it before.

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)

No, the link is not saying that I only have to input the Signature and the Message. First, you have to go https://slowli.github.io/bech32-buffer/ where you need to decode bc1 address to binary data (in hex), then you have to go https://bitcoinvalued.com/tools.php where you convert the binary data to bitcoin address which is started with 1. Then copy the bitcoin address and try to verify it in brain wallet or other sites which has these services.

I'm just expanding on what I said earlier, the bold is only meant to represent the earlier words and italics the newer words, it is not intended to represent shouting or emphasis.

According to you link https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5198585.0 in post number six it says you don't need to put the wallet address in, you only need to place the message and signature to verify it's signed (but that doesn't guarantee it's the correct wallet unless you do some digging deeper).

Actually, there's a shortcut to this!

Just get your original message,
Then remove the address from the message (copy this):

Code:

-----BEGIN BITCOIN SIGNED MESSAGE-----
I'm Lulucrypto on Bitcointalk. And normally, I'm Luluwebmaster. I sign this message at 9 Aug 2019.
-----BEGIN SIGNATURE-----
IAIAMSyjMV62EttLm3HltwmQK0HEchc80OfXKJGPEo1pIvq/st/kgWvLmREfByk3/TSbdrWLmfzoExivGSxzTOo=
-----END BITCOIN SIGNED MESSAGE-----

And paste to https://brainwalletx.github.io/#verify
It'll automatically recognize the legacy address used for that signed message.

Because either way, the message was verified using the address: 1NtMnD5BQrRvVeHDk4HXaGvXiVkUuTjhXf, not bc1q7qgn8zw75n26hd60a8ay42482mukdjrdv3cyp7.
But both can be derived from the same prv key, so there wont be a serious problem with future verification.
The only difference is: those extra steps are some kind of proof that the result legacy address was based from your SegWit address.

I did actually read your link.

Got it now actually what you said that time. It was my mistake that I did not notice post number 6 even I actually read the OP's post only. Thank you for correcting me.

I am also very sorry OgNasty for this discussion. Though it will also help to newbie to be clear about it.
