Title: Do I need to sync with the network to sign a message ? Post by: OmegaStarScream on February 04, 2016, 08:30:13 AM I'm wondering if I need to download the whole blockchain to be able to sign a message ? I'm using Bitcoin Core btw .

Correct, signing and verification happen locally and no blockchain data is needed. |
