Accounts which do not follow the claim procedure will likely have to be handed over to a lawyer and accountant. This is because I do not have proof that the account has shown the ability to withdraw funds, which means that these accounts will have to go through a legacy system to get repaid. Otherwise ID opens itself up to potential liability claims for sending funds to addresses with no counter-proof that the account had the ability to withdraw funds. I hope that clarifies a few question marks.
Do you really need to manually verify all the signed messages? Who would bother to fake one, and for what purpose?
If I can sign a message I can also withdraw funds, as both require the same private key.
I really don't want to futz around with custom transactions because what little coin is in that wallet is fresh from the pool.
EDIT: iD still owns that chunk of Cointerra, right?
