Thus in the world according to Anti-Cen, RSA is explicitly based on a curve.

I asked if it was based on a curve and you seem to have a bit of a metal condition and accusing me of all kind things because like I
so often do I edited a post moments after it was posted.

Quotable.

For the benefit of any newbies reading thisand I mean, people who do not brag about development knowledge or experience, and have never even read the Wikipedia article on RSAthe answer is: No, RSA is not based on a curve. RSA is not elliptic-curve cryptography. RSA is based on the RSA problem, which is closely related to (but not identical with) the problem of factoring large integers. Elliptic curve cryptography such as Bitcoins secp256k1 is based on the elliptic curve discrete logarithm problem (ECDLP). Bitcoin does not use RSA anywhere for any purpose whatsoever.

I found this on your site "RSA: 0xA232750664CC39D61CE5D61536EBB4AB699A10EE"

Please help me to encode a message to send to the address because so far I've got

And it does not seem to post

After decades of disdain on my part, I finally understand why people use the term LOL. Did you just try to use a PGP public key fingerprint as an RSA key? Why yes, it seems you did (or at least, you claimed to).

That is a 160-bit SHA-1 hash, calculated as specified by RFC 4880 § 12.2. Depending on how those bits hashed out, you perhaps may only have slightly more luck finding in it a minuscule RSA modulus plus public exponent than you would using RSA-512 to generate Bitcoin keys.
