hey guys! can anyone help me understand the sign/verify feature of the monero GUI/CLI? Why does it exist? I followed the directions under 'Sign- verify Message' in the monero-GUI-guide on github but wasn't able to get a valid signature

As far as I understand it, you can use it to sign a message with your private key and someone else can verify it with your address and this prove you actually own that address. Can also be used for logins, I believe mitra.social has that as an option.
