Here is what Chat GPT said about this topic

FYI: this is where I stopped reading, and clicked Ignore. How to lose all credibility 101.

This is where I stopped too.

OP, this is one of the basic things. You don't need deep knowledge to understand how to sign a message using your Bitcoin wallet address. You don't have to ask ChatGPT or any other AI about it since they do not have knowledge about it and most of the time, these AI gives incorrect information. You can sign a message with your wallet address if you want. Electrum has the most friendly user interface from where you can sign/verify messages. I don't understand what you want to know about it. Just ask questions to humans. There no potential risks in signing a message with your wallet address.

Yeah I went back and re-read that and somehow some of what I said got deleted because I was on my phone and maybe fell asleep while editing or maybe a pocket edit or something? lmao. I went on to say at the part where it breaks and "curi" was never fully spelled out. Anyhow I went on to say that I had never signed a bitcoin transaction before and I had never known how this process works and I wanted to guage how Chat GPT answered this. But anyhow I was just being lazy lol I really hadn't ever signed one before so I didn't know but I did a little research and I can see now there are verificaiton websites. What I don't like is the handling of one's private keys. In this day and age there are so many potential devices that can capture a picture of anythng containing your PK I just don't trust it. Other than proving that you own a bitcoin address which is how someone could prove they are satoshi for example, right? I don't really see the benefit here. A lot can happen in the time you are handling your private keys. Anything inputing your private keys into anywhere you have to 1000% certain that you are secure and fully offline. Definitely loved learning this, a huge oversight on my part but all the more reason to love this technology more and the nuance thought that Satoshi put into every little detail.
