Stake your Bitcoin address here

[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.

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!}

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.

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?}

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

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.

I have redone it with a legacy address from the same wallet and verified it on this site and it verified. Somebody should verify again to see if it completely verified.

So, what could've been the problem from your side because even palle11 verified it from verifybitcoinmessage.com/ and CoinEraser also did from one of the sites you couldn't – brainwalletx.github.io. I've read several complaints about signing from Coinomi wallet and it's worrisome to discover such inconsistency with the app. Is there no way a representative of that company can be subpoena (tagged), that's if there's a account of theirs here, to appear and explain to the community what could be going wrong?

I think something has to be corrected here or a direction should be followed. In my own case I had to go through the legacy before I got through and I have been trying that through more than 48 hours stressing my out trying to understand what was the issue looking through space or gap as some big guys in the forum was suggesting but I was able to get through going from legacy. I think one member too went through the stress , zlantann Right?

Maybe we should just say those signing message from coinoimi should do that using legacy

There was no problem from TheBeardedBaby's side.
palle11 signed a new message from a legacy address which was the one verified by him/her and CoinEraser.
TheBeardedBaby was trying to sign the message signed from the segwit address which can't be verified at all.

Maybe we should just say those signing message from coinoimi should do that using legecy

The best thing anyone can do is to not use coinomi.

I was trying using Electrum but it fails for some reason.
Are you sure you have done everything correctly? This could be even adding or missing a white-space.

Right, there seems to be something wrong with the signed message. I have also done the verification but it failed because the wrong signature. As shown in the image below, it is wrong.
