Could you please sign a message from your other staked addresses[1][2] as well?

I was told to stake an address that I have previously used as my bitcoin wallet address on my profile.

The address you stake here doesn't have to be the one you have used on your profile before. You can use any address you want, as long as you have full control over that.

Do you own the private key of this address? You will have to sign a message from that for recovering your account in future and you will not be able to do that without its private key. I recommend you to sign a message including today's date like many other users have done in this thread.
Of course, I doubt the recovery team accept a message which has been signed from an address staked recently for recovering your account, unless they can verify that you have used this address on your profile before. I am not sure they can do this.

[hosemary]

No unfortunately the site doesn't give you keys to keep. But it does have a shit ton of 2fa recovery solutions.

So, what you did is completely useless. For signing message, you need the private key of the address you are signing message from.
Again, even if you could sign message from this address, it wouldn't be helpful. It's very unlikely that the recovery team accept a message that has been signed from an address that has been staked recently. You should have signed a message from an address you have full control over before.

Why don't you sign a message and post the code for easy verification and quoting just like how this user did (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=996318.msg60920507#msg60920507)

You can follow the format he used too

Posting an image
1. makes it hard to verify, no one is going to copy every letter of the signature so that they can verify
2. An image hosting site can easily delete the image or go offline. How will you prove that you signed a message if the image is not there?

Holy moly is that it?

Nope, I have failed to verify



Your signed message is jumbled up. Not sure what you are trying to do, but it could be the source of error

What's with the "hi this is bitcointalk user seebiscuit, i am using a format suggested by another user to make it easier for admins to help out." under the signature area. If you want it under the message, then it should be right under the message before you sign it. Just simply follow the format suggested.

This?

I have tried to verify your previous message as well as this message using electrum, reinproject and verifybitcoinmessage but I am sorry I could not verify any signature of you. Can you please verify your self and post a screenshot of the verification?

Failed to verify from brainwalletx too

@SeeBiscuit are you sure you are signing the message using the account of the address you are trying to stake here?

[shasan]

Sorry but someone earlier said that pictures would no way help. Here, let me generate a new fresh blue wallet RIGHT NOW. And I'll update my profile to it and we can try this one last time???

You are giving a tutorial but I I do not mean that. I mean can you provide a screenshot of verifying the signature you are posting here? I think you are posting the signature of someone else or you would sign in/verify the signature. I mean you to show something like:

You are also providing a separate address each time, why?

[SFR10]

@SeeBiscuit
I tried verifying both of your messages in the app itself ^[BlueWallet] and also their "online verification tool", but I wasn't successful!
^{- Try the above tool and when you were able to get it right, post your message here so we can verify it (make sure to not edit your post)!}

@shasan and @logfiles
Since there's "no standard way to verify SegWit addresses", it's best to use the exact same app to verify their messages.
^{- Having said that, some of the wallets support other signatures (e.g. Trezor Suite).}

Do you guys know how to run python?

Will this work?

Code:

import base64
import hashlib
import ecdsa

def verify_message(address, signature, message):
    try:
        # Decode the signature
        sig = base64.b64decode(signature)
        # Obtain the public key from the address
        pubkey = ecdsa.VerifyingKey.from_address(address)
        # Hash the message
        message_hash = hashlib.sha256(hashlib.sha256(message.encode()).digest()).digest()
        # Verify the signature
        pubkey.verify(sig, message_hash, hashlib.sha256)
        return True
    except ecdsa.keys.BadSignatureError:
        return False

address = "bc1qsnpc4mdyxgvgqcy2a4d24cfcwsaymknxdm6nkv"
signature = "J2b2FQx5A4COCNO3UWbX21152qpPhXPn7zEe5ze/LWBtI0GJSy010rVWDDsXaRCGewUryrB7lyWOrLnbSe0J6iI="
message = "Today is 2 February, 2023 and this is SeeBiscuit of BTT staking this address here as mine."

result = verify_message(address, signature, message)
if result:
    print("The message is verified")
else:
    print("The message is not verified")

Code:

...
        pubkey = ecdsa.VerifyingKey.from_address(address)
...

Well, it might work if the method ecdsa.VerifyingKey.from_address exists, and it is possible to extract a public key from an address.

It's not complete, correct? That's the chatGPT code, it once gave me a code to decode an encoded ETH signed message which no other tool could do, I thought maybe this one could be quicker to use for verifying.
