[ANN] Verify Bitcoin Signed Message - Easily shareable in Stake Address Thread.

[bitmover]

I created this simple tool which I believe can be used by many forum members, specially in Stake your Bitcoin address here.

✅
Just add your bitcoin message information and click verify. A shareable link is generated so you can easily share it here.

It also supports message block format

Open for suggestions. I will share it in the Stake your Bitcoin address here thread as well.

A Cryptographically Relevant Quantum Computer (CRQC) running Shor's algorithm can turn an exposed public key into a private key. When you sign bitcoin messages, you expose the public key.

That's something I wish I'd learned before signing publicly-staked bitcoin address messages (not that you can prevent people from paying to one you never had BTC on to begin with)...

Good to see a new addition on your website.
I have seen the same tool on multiple websites already. I think Bitlist also has it. But thanks for the new tool.

There is no reason to regret it. Creating a new wallet does not cost you anything. You don't need to use the same wallet if you think using it will be a risk for you. I am glad that a Bitcoin wallet is free. I have signed a message from one of my addresses, but that does not mean I will keep my funds in this wallet. I can always choose not to use it anymore. If you are afraid of signing a message using your Bitcoin wallet address, you can always choose PGP instead.

It's not free (zero-fee) to send BTC from one address to another anymore. And yes, I use PGP.

It is good to know that you use PGP.
I don't know what makes you think that I don't know that there is a transaction fee. I said it is free because I never thought you would care about the transaction fee, which is a couple of cents at this moment. I was terrified at some point when the Ordinals thing blocked the entire mempool, and people had to spend $50 as a transaction fee to transfer their Bitcoin from one wallet to another. Lucky us that the craze faded away and the transaction fee is normal again. I am sure you would pay even $50 for your security if you think someone would get your private keys. So, let's not think much about the tiny transaction fee.

Think harder, don't move goalposts.
