Stake your Bitcoin address here

[TheBeardedBaby]

Are we doing Electrum-compatible signatures or BIP137?
Sparrow gives me these two options.



Anyhow, this should be verifiable with Electrum:

Code:

-----BEGIN BITCOIN SIGNED MESSAGE-----
n0nce, user ID 3373858, Aug. 19 2022, verifying my Bitcoin address.
-----BEGIN SIGNATURE-----
Address: 15tupQ1aPdux5K2TmwVqFnsjrsipkHZCG1
Signature: HxPgKg7UXd447wIz8Me/nomivDE3usHyYu24tITFLoMiRe6I+NQ3ElerUTYwsbAm1wtGmOsjsGmSUCH28+YXdKU=
-----END BITCOIN SIGNED MESSAGE-----

Quoted,  I don't have electrum around but I'll verify it with an online tool.

It seems OK if you remove the "Signature" text : Here is a proof

I used a coinomi wallet. Would that be the problem?

I tried on Coinomi (which is much more work), but it didn't verify either. Try to verify it by yourself.

I tried again and it verified the message. Thanks.

That's weird, considering I couldn't verify it. Has anyone else been able to verify this message?

 -----BEGIN BITCOIN SIGNED MESSAGE-----

This I could verify

Shouldn't Legacy signatures work on any wallet? Bitcoin Core can verify yours.

I tried again and it verified the message. Thanks.

I had to change my address from default to legacy and it was successful. 

I'm a bit confused with the first quote... Did you verify the previously signed message or you were referring to the one that you signed today?

That's weird, considering I couldn't verify it. Has anyone else been able to verify this message?

I also had a similar result last night ^[snapshot] in Coinomi but after reading your comment, I didn't mention it ^{[I even tried adding empty spaces to certain parts, but had no luck]}.
^{- I'm starting to think there's a bug in the sign/verify feature (not for all types of addresses) of Coinomi.}

I had some difficulty trying to sign message with Coinomi wallet. I thought I had verified the first one but when I retried it after posting I discovered that it was not verified. So the verified one is the one I posted today.

Oops, yes, I added the 'Signature' and 'Address' labels myself - I honestly didn't know what my wallet gave me was a standardized format.
So far I always manually copied just the signature, plaintext and address and put them into the respective fields of the software I was using.

Learned a new thing today!

Quoted to use as proof of ownership in the future. I hope you know how to sign the bitcoin address with a custom message. In any case, you need to know it to prove ownership in the future if anything happen to the account or if you want to use the account to prove anything else.

Cannot verify it from Sparrow. (With neither Electrum's standard nor Trezor's)

[hosemary]

Please someone should quote and verify for me.

As mentioned by BlackHatCoiner above, the message can't be verified. There's a probability that you made a mistake when copy pasting the signature or the address.

Take note that there is no standard algorithm for signing message from segwit addresses. So, a message signed from a certain wallet may not be verifiable through another wallet.  
What wallet did you use for signing the message?

[palle11]

Thanks for checking but I don't think mistake on copy pasting may be likely. Maybe from a different wallet.

What wallet did you use for signing the message?

Wallet is coinomi

[BlackHatCoiner]

Wallet is coinomi

Very friendly suggestion: Change your wallet software. The Coinomi developers must have been one of the worst and most shady teams in the crypto space. Their software has been caught to send seed phrases in plain text to a server. It's not reputable, not private, neither even secure. Here's a thread for thought: WARNING - Coinomi Wallet CRITICAL Vulnerability Made Me Lose My Life Savings.

It's also unforgivable to use closed-source wallet software when there are far better open-source alternatives such as Sparrow or Electrum. I recommend you use one of those to stake an address.

[hosemary]

Wallet is coinomi

I tried to verify the message on Coinomi. It says "Message verification failed".

Edit:
I just signed a message on Coinomi and verified it with itself to see how it works.
Seems that there's a bug on Coinomi. It can't even verify the message signed by itself.
As suggested by BlackHatCoiner, don't use Coinomi.

There's indeed a bug on that wallet but AFAICR, it doesn't extend to legacy addresses ^{[only the segwit addresses are affected]}.
^{Note to @palle11: I'm not implying it's safe to use Coinomi with a legacy address!}

[hosemary]

There's indeed a bug on that wallet but AFAICR, it doesn't extend to legacy addresses ^{[only the segwit addresses are affected]}.

I just tested that with signing a message from a legacy address and got the same error.

It's really funny how Coinomi works.
If you sign a message from Coinomi and then verify the same message without closing "Sign/verify message" window, it's verified successfully. It's verified even with a wrong signature.
If you sign a message from Coinomi, close the "Sign/verify message" window and then open it again and verify the message, it can't be verified.

~Snipped~

That's strange... I no longer have my spare tablet to personally test it, but @Zlantann had a "different experience" last month with a legacy address and "here's his/her signed message from a legacy address" in Coinomi.
^{- Did you also try verifying the same message with one of the online tools or other wallets?}

It's really funny how Coinomi works.
If you sign a message from Coinomi and then verify the same message without closing "Sign/verify message" window, it's verified successfully. It's verified even with a wrong signature.

Now that's something ^{[Coinomi at its finest]}

[hosemary]

^{- Did you also try verifying the same message with one of the online tools or other wallets?}

I just tried that. I was able to verify the message using other tools like electrum successfully.
So, a message signed by coinomi from a legacy address can be verified by other tools, but it can't be verified by itself.

Edit:
I tried this with a segwit address too and I was again successful in verifying the message using electrum.
It's weird. Because the message signed by palle11 yesterday isn't verifiable even using electrum.

There's no way to verify this, at least I didn't find one.
I tried the following >

Electrum
Trezor
brainwalletx.github.io
verifybitcoinmessage.com/
Kenkarlo
MyCelium

So I give up.
