It seems like a nice initiative but I just read about dust attacks, isn't it unsafe to post addresses here and there so that people associate the address with your username?
If the idea is to be anonymous, why publish addresses?

I know how to sign from an address, I have Electrum installed and I don't need merit. I have enough and I can't even spend them all.

It is a good minor challenge to help them rank up and to force them learning and practicing the most basic and important feature of Bitcoin wallet. To do this they also have to learn, know and practice to use a non-custodial wallet. Cheesy

Such the sign message can be used to recover accounts (of course it needs more evidence but a signed message from old wallet makes sense to help recovery progress).
