Is there a "broken" signed message generator/wallet out there somewhere? Huh

This is the 2nd message recently which has the same weird "message" format...

Or are users simply attempting to copy/paste the format from a previous message? It just seems weird to choose such a broken message tho... Huh

Why do you think it's broken ? I've been using this format for years.

It is a format that is used to easily copy paste the whole data (message + public address + signature) to verify the authenticity of the message.

You can verify those on this page, for example : https://reinproject.org/bitcoin-signature-tool/

I personally find that more convenient than

Message : "blaah"
Address : "1sdfqsfqsf..."
Signature : "qsfjqslkdhfqms..."
