Title: how to use message signing
Post by: BrightAnarchist on April 11, 2012, 08:43:34 PM
I have a message I'm sending to someone that I need to sign using my bitcoin address private key.

How does the reciever verify that I signed the message using my private key? I see the ability the sign the message using the client, but how do I verify?

Thanks!

hmm, so i'm guessing this isn't in the GUI yet... you have to use the daemon, correct?

I don't know if the two are interoperable, but Armory has the ability to send signed messages:
