hi, please excuse if I am making n00b mistakes, but I am trying to sign a message with my multibit client, following the instructions from the multibit site and have run into a few problems. Any help you can give please ELI5 because I barely understand what I'm doing...
first up i followed instructions from here
https://multibit.org/en/help/v0.5/help_signAndVerifyMessage.htmlmy first problem is;
"4. Enter the receiving address you are using to sign in the 'Address' field."... my problem... You can not copy or paste
anything into the 'Address' field...this doesn't really make sense if you want people to actually use it, but I put my address in manually anyway...
so after taking about 5 minutes to manually enter my signing 'send' address, check it twice and typing my message in the 'Message' field I pressed 'sign message' and client told me I was a success. good enough...but... having to manually enter and double check does not make me feel very successful especially when I realize I dont know how to follow the seemingly simple instruction 'Send Message'
how do I send this message? code appears in the 'Signature' field, so i figure i will copy paste this code and paste it onto the forum post where i am trying to verify my identity... guess what? you cant copy or paste this.... its a few lines of code... I'm in a hurry... wtf guys?
so i think i signed a message but it is pretty much useless because i cant do anything with it. I don't have the time to manually copy ~100 random characters from my multibit client to the post im trying to put it on. Is this just some sort of inconvenient oversight in the multibit design, or am i doing it wrong? if its supposed to prohibit copy pasting you might want to think of changing that. no one wants to manually enter lines of random code bruh.
what am i doing wrong?
help and NON-TECH-CENTRIC explanation would be greatly appreciated.
