Title: Re: PGP signing and Signing BTC address Post by: Muhammed Zakir on February 21, 2015, 08:30:14 PM Thank you muhammed Zakir , really great help Just one more question to anyone who can help I'm understanding PGP slowly but i see people ask to sign and confirm their btc address , i can sign it , but how exactly to we decrypt a signed BTC address proof ?? You can't decrypt a signed message unless it was decrypted before signing. You can verify the signed message. You can use your wallet or you can use brainwallet.github.io/#verify to verify. You can encrypt/decrypt a message using your public key of your BTC address using Electrum. I don't know other wallets which have encrypt\/decrypt messages feature. -MZ Title: Re: PGP signing and Signing BTC address Post by: The Young Turk on February 21, 2015, 08:36:15 PM Thank you muhammed Zakir , really great help Just one more question to anyone who can help I'm understanding PGP slowly but i see people ask to sign and confirm their btc address , i can sign it , but how exactly to we decrypt a signed BTC address proof ?? First if you're gonna sign an address you need to own it (You've to know it's priv key). Then open the verify tab and copy the details: "Message, (public)Address and signature". When you click the verify button it's gonna say to you it's verified or not. I used electrum for that, you can use anything else. https://i.imgur.com/SFdLjHS.png Also I used blockchain.info wallet to verify this message: https://i.imgur.com/5fgv0un.png message: Hi chronicsky! address: 12ia5dhAvUf2VTqe1fRnBVbq4Je7N5EHmL signature: HI7bPPL1m/dI9FAi37Z/k5QsaKjhlmsi8ncAavbrvq9+dQgKr2CScgy8I6AEM0DHQXaP/0k8jlkGkexMefAT4UY= This method is used to prove ownership of an address.
