A minimal implementation of EcdsaKoblitzSignature2016 in JavaScript.
Mostly to provide clarity around how complex linked data signature suites are, in the hope that future suites will be simpler, and less coupled to crypto currency libraries.
As seen on https://json-ld.org/playground/

IMO best not to use addresses for signature suites

Jolocom claims to be using EcdsaKoblitzSignature2016, but implements the signature algorithm differently then jsonld-signatures. This library does not work with Jolocom for this reason.
UPort claims to be supporting Secp256k1VerificationKey2018, Secp256k1SignatureVerificationKey2018, EcdsaPublicKeySecp256k1, these are not compatible with EcdsaKoblitzSignature2016 or Jolocom's version, but are closer, because both UPort and Jolocom are simply signing a digest.
PROPOSAL-EcdsaKoblitzSignature2019 is just a proposal, but its based off of RsaSignature2017. This library does not work with PROPOSAL-EcdsaKoblitzSignature2019.
