Title: Altcoins supporting signing/verifying messages Post by: choog on June 01, 2017, 10:17:13 AM HI,
Which altcoins support signing and verifying messages? And what software / wallet for these altcoins provides this service? So far, my research has thrown these altcoins up as providing ability to sign anbd verify messages (mainly to prove ownership of address): 1. Dash 2. Monero 3. ZCash 4. DogeCoin 5. BitShares 6. Lisk 7. Peercoin Are there any I am missing out? (Litecoin?) Also- as a noob to ethereum, I understand that ethereum provides this capability too. But pther tokens built on top of ethereum - how many and how do they provide this capability? I am talking about tokens like: Golem, Gnosis, Stellar, Augur, Waves, MaidSafeCoin, DigixDao, DigiByte, Ardor, Iconomi, Melon, Reddcoin etc Thanks.

because signing a message is simply a cryptography signature that you make by having the private key as your key to sign and the message as the string to sign and then produce a base64 (if i am not mistaken) string. |
