==========Message to sign==========
Hello everyone,

I am currently holding 5BTC in escrow for this campaign. These coins will be used to reimburse people if the OP disappears or defaults. Otherwise they will be send back as soon as everybody got paid.

Just to clarify, the extra 0.05BTC is a tip that the OP send me.

Kind Regards,
BitcoinInformation

Hey bitcoininformation,

I was trying to see if I could figure out how to verify your signed message.  I tried it in Multibit but I couldn't get it to verify.  I wonder if I did something wrong.  Am I supposed to use the "===" sections or not?

This is the correct message :

-----BEGIN BITCOIN SIGNED MESSAGE-----

Copy and paste  here : https://brainwallet.github.io/#verify

I got "Message failed to verify!" with both, multibit and brainwallet.org
What does this mean?
(I have never done this though so it might be my fail.)

I also just tried in the brainwallet interface.  I also failed.  I think this puts me solidly into the class of people who don't know how to do this.  That or there's something funny going on with the whitespace characters.  I'm on GNU/Linux so I assume my system is going to use \n newlines (maybe this matters, idk).
