Title: [ANNOUNCE] ecdsa.org: Annotate the Blockchain
Post by: ThomasV on October 11, 2011, 12:32:38 PM
Here is a new service that allows you to annotate the blockchain addresses that you own, or the transactions that you made.

link : http://ecdsa.org/annotate (http://ecdsa.org/annotate)

Only you can annotate your addresses and transactions, because annotations are signed with your private key.
For example, if you donate to a charity of fundraiser, you can now add a message showing who you are.

This service uses the new "signmessage", "verifymessage" commands of bitcoind, available in bitcoin 0.5rc1 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=47586.0)

Why restrict it to people who own their own keys? Why not let anyone annotate anything, like a block chain wiki?

Thanks for linking to Abe (https://github.com/jtobey/bitcoin-abe).  I am impressed.  Might you be releasing source code as per Abe's license (https://github.com/jtobey/bitcoin-abe/blob/master/LICENSE.txt), Section 13?
