that does NOT save you any steps, you still have to perform the workaround steps to get the workaround address as was explained and check if it is correct otherwise all you are doing is deriving a public key and NOT verifying anything whatsoever.
You're right, so the "
shortcut" cannot be used by other users who are verifying the message.
Honestly, I'm focused on fetching the legacy address (
for the signer) and that method will work if
he didn't messed up the copy->paste of his original signed message, 'coz what are the odds that he'll accidentally change his own message?
here is the same exact signature with a different message which that site verifies!
I see, so those extra spaces and lines that usually added/missed can change the result.
@
lulucrypto You should remove the quote from the OP as it won't be a reliable shortcut.
Anyways, it's still best to use the correct client since some may have used a different implementation on signing messages with SegWit addresses.
