Stake your Bitcoin address here

[Chikito]

I have tried it earlier too but could not verify it either from https://brainwalletx.github.io/#verify (it shows id missing) or from Electrum. But now I have checked by editing the sign message and it is working fine. The signature should be like below code:

Code:

-----BEGIN BITCOIN SIGNED MESSAGE-----
This is Peanutswar, OCT 2 2020
-----BEGIN SIGNATURE-----
bc1qh45r8qdp5zqf5cux77sq0k3gmjdljv4jdac0n0
HyVb1ZlnAkbhg7ReBZ42/ZEzzP+6Z1jeY5O/kaCBZAN7HgakBz5EequLl4cKgYtc9rbcZwteW/L3nF3oOFa2sC8=
-----END BITCOIN SIGNED MESSAGE-----

Verified it from electrum. https://prnt.sc/usa0t8

I believe that Peanutswar did not know if he changes a few things (characters, spaces, capitalization) the signature will be changed.

@Peanutswar, you can check my words by change the details

Code:

-----BEGIN BITCOIN SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Peanutswar, OCT 2 2020
-----BEGIN SIGNATURE-----
bc1qh45r8qdp5zqf5cux77sq0k3gmjdljv4jdac0n0
New signature 1
-----END BITCOIN SIGNED MESSAGE-----

Code:

-----BEGIN BITCOIN SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Peanutswar, Oct 2 2020.
-----BEGIN SIGNATURE-----
bc1qh45r8qdp5zqf5cux77sq0k3gmjdljv4jdac0n0
New signature 2
-----END BITCOIN SIGNED MESSAGE-----

I did verify Peanutswar  had a correct message.

Code:

This is Peanutswar, OCT 2 2020, bc1qh45r8qdp5zqf5cux77sq0k3gmjdljv4jdac0n0

This means he owns the key. but I recommending he remakes using a common format.

I should probably do this - should have done 2 years ago lol

Code:

-----BEGIN BITCOIN SIGNED MESSAGE-----
06-15-2020  I am MoparMiningLLC aka Stryfe from bitcointalk forum. My primary bitcoin address for reference : 1MoparCzLLgVhFjLMo9iS4a8qeEMpF3EeJ

-----END BITCOIN SIGNED MESSAGE-----

deleted the above post - this address was generated by bitcoinvanitygen.com and is compromised as of 10/06/2020 when site owner swept hundreds of private keys and stole all funds on any active address.

I am currently using a balletcrypto wallet and will post a new signed address - after I figure out how to sign from their wallets


anything signed from the address above after this date is not valid and is not from me

Quoting for reference. Consider staking a new one

yes, I said that

I think I will just use vanitygen (not that damn site) but the one from samr7 - and generate my own.

You can also use VanitySearch from Jean_Luc. This tool runs ~4 times faster than vanitygen to find a address with your own prefix.
I'm doing the same task these days with an old CPU and the estimated time with Vanitygen was significantly higher.

recently checked one scam accusation about the hack of vanity address, so it is time to know which vanity address generator sire are legit an which are not. And it is very important to know either legit or not than which is faster or slower. I mean legit should be the first priority.

[-doubleU-]

You're right about that, legit should be the first priority. But i think both tools vanitygen and vanitysearch are legit and safe when you run this tools on a offline pc system that never before goes online.
Offline tools are definitely better than an online service where you can never be sure that the private key won't end up in someone else's hands while it is being created

I did verify Peanutswar  had a correct message.

Code:

This is Peanutswar, OCT 2 2020, bc1qh45r8qdp5zqf5cux77sq0k3gmjdljv4jdac0n0

No, you didn't verify anything and it doesn't mean he owns the key... Your image is telling you what "address" that message+signature combo would need to be "valid"... however, as the address being "staked" is obviously "bc1qh45r8qdp5zqf5cux77sq0k3gmjdljv4jdac0n0", the screenshot you took is proof of nothing.


You can test this yourself... Once you have a "signature", you can put whatever message you want and it will tell you what the "expected" address is...

For instance... here is the "demo" address+message+signature:

Code:

-----BEGIN BITCOIN SIGNED MESSAGE-----
This is an example of a signed message.
-----BEGIN SIGNATURE-----
1HZwkjkeaoZfTSaJxDw6aKkxp45agDiEzN
HHXLKIFZ7LWR5YZ2rbScJ7IMkbPEz58dAVGc38uyGfSEX2mR/tm82QVqSNjcSrgR3MVGhyztU8lTFBgXjmQCDPQ=
-----END BITCOIN SIGNED MESSAGE-----

Now, I can take that signature, remove the address... and then use any message I like and it will give an address... However, this does NOT "verify" anything.

  what for people would post bitcoin address here will someone send something

what for people would post bitcoin address here will someone send something

No one will send anything here. This is only to prove the ownership of the account during a period of time. You post your address and later you sign a message from it and you prove to be the same guy that controls the account.
Sometimes accounts are sold with a stacked address and pr.keys but that's not so often.

It's all about preventing newbies from being scammed.

Good day I would like to ask if do I need to create a new submission of my address?, Im using my electrum and I follow the format of other people. I didn't notice that I give a wrong format, can someone give me the proper format so I can re-submit another one. Advance thank you.

Edit: I try again.

Hello guys! I just read an article that says addresses start with 3 don't have signed message functionality. Can anybody help me with this? Thanks

From where you have read that there has no functionality to sign message by the address which starts with 3 or something else. As further as I know you can sign a message from any address if you have private key of the address.

No, that's an article's mistake or you misread it. You can sign messages on each kind of address. Whether it's a P2PKH, also known as legacy,  (1...) or a P2SH (3...) or a Bech32 (bc1...).

Have you tried electrum? It's an open source wallet that can do literally anything compared to some other wallets, such as the online ones. It can sign and verify messages.

Is that so? Maybe its the app that doesn't support the signed message functionality. I created my bitcoin wallet using Coins Ph app. Are you familiar with that? I tried searching there are no sign message stuff there.

Oh I see. I haven't tried using it. I do prefer using the coins ph app before it is easier and I more applicaple app to use in our country

Coins doesn't have a signed message feature since you don't have the access of the private keys of the address you're assigned with, and that's disadvantage of using non-custodial wallet or I'll say an exchange since it works like that. I'll suggest to use electrum and mycelium if you want to sign a message and if you want to have staked an address here for the recovery purposes of your account in case of hacked or etc.
