Am i doing something wrong or did https://brainwallet.org/#verify stop working? Im not sure if there were buttons to start the verification or if it started automatically but nothing happens anymore. Enter doesnt work too. I tried Firefox and Chrome and its the same on both.

Is it broken? Can someone suggest an alternative link?

Yeah, I just tried it, but just like you nothing happens after I paste everything. ;D Anyway if you're still looking for online verifier try this http://www.coinig.com/

Thanks but this checker seems to be poorly written. The "too often to be seen" error of a form field with too view signs allowed i guess. Signature messages arent restricted to 250 signs as far as i know. But this script complains because i use more signs than that.

And other? Seems i need a replacement as suggestion for easy check of signatures.

This website had serious problems before with their random number generator[1]. I would certainly avoid this website.

Just download multibit, you can easily sign and verify. Or electrum

Are you sure? It's working for me. An example (https://brainwallet.org/#verify?vrAddr=1XXZyhqkZ7atHbyFMU9Ei6XBF3pjHgPkL&vrMsg=I%20am%20morin%20from%20bitcointalk.org%20and%20today%20is%202015.06.28.My%20bitcointalk%20UID%20%3A%20523939&vrSig=H7FLa%2BaOl1yzDn0LXESUsFq5kCMze5bdyJAI26myzYTCCip2jEWj21xgHR6wlZRXsXNp3ZTtj%2FKnguDKDd1gVHs%3D). FYI, it is automatic.


Didn't know about it. Thanks for the link!


Verifying signed messages does not expose your private keys and now the site is working good.

Might be that the first tab is working but the second tab isnt.

Yeah, might be correct that giving out that link might lead one or another newbie in using the websites wallet. Probably its better to find an alternative.

Yes, its a fast thing, but sometimes you want someone to fast being able to verify a signature. And you dont want them to explain what to download, how to install and all. A website that can check a signature is a fine thing then.

If someone knows an alternative let me know.

If I have time later I will set up a mirror for the brainwallet verifier.   The code is on github.   Hopefully the problem is with their site only and not just a code change on the github fork that broke things.

Here is a mirror.  Please only use this for verifying messages as I do not have SSL set up!

this is a miror link http://188.166.89.99/#verify

Seems to be working fine here.   Make sure you are using http and not https as I dont have mod SSL on.

I attached the mirror to the domain http://brainmirror.me (http://brainmirror.me).   I will add an SSL certificate later.   I am using the brainwallet Github revision from late April because that was the newest version with a working Verifier.   Tips to keep the server running would be greatly appreciated: 161pQjfxHdFfTxyfWNjRWgHXd8rpG3qoD2

EDIT:  SSL cert active.  Redirect to HTTPS in place.

Thanks for creating the mirror. At least we know who is behind that mirror since such a verifier could be exploited by the owner. Telling a noobie to verify there and in fact have that address whitelisted. Scam might happen.

I found a workaround too. You can enter the details in the second tab and then go to the first tab, then add and delete a space or something and it will check the signature for you.

brainmirror.me is not loading for me. It is timing out.

I asked google for brainwallet verify and it seems there are some alternatives now online.

One the looks like a full copy is http://wallet-2sx53n.sakurity.com/#verify

I think that might serve as a quick signature verifying service for me. :)

Does anyone know how/where to find the zip of the version of Brainwallet.org prior to them closing?
