Yesterday I added my signed message to the Tomatocage's thread for stacking bitcoin addresses, but then I realize that I cannot verify it online, only in my wallet, and deleted my post. No point to post it if it cannot be verified online.
So thankfully found this thread and I know why. Almost no info in Google tho.
Seems that the SegWit addresses cannot be used to sing messages at the moment, even if you have this feature in the wallet.
I guess I have to create a normal address only to verify my account here.

What's the problem when you can do it with electrum?
NOTE: To stake your Bitcoin address, why don't you use Legacy address till a solution is found?

OP which wallet are you using? Because electrum can very well sign and verify messages signed from bech32 addresses. I think some of the other segwit wallets like samurai don't have a feature to sign message yet. I'm assuming since electrum can sign message then bitcoin core 0.16 also should be able to do that when its released.

Just signed one with electrum.

Code:

Message: Signed message
Address: bc1qyjqygpulgd6y69ync6wvd256qjltszekd2pz0x
Signature: HwNkc1x7GtforrqObazbOOure4XV5Jpx51Uf/dQ7hLQNEhkO+914HqUupdYJd3LH0eBtfENXBWRj3mb+HbQOoDw=

Things are still being developed before such a feature is allowed, because if any bugs take place in this, many scams will take place under signed messages. It's better to wait, or use Electrum's Bech32's addresses as they are completely verifiable in the wallet itself. There's nothing else that anyone here knows about, which either allows you to sign or verify a message from SegWit addresses.
