[GUIDE] How to Sign/Verify message in NEW Blockchain Wallet

[Jeremycoin]

Im trying to find the 'more options' bit on blockchain.info, it seems they update this so often.  People use sign messaging often why not have it more clear blockchain. 

Try to go to "Imported Address", if you have any Spendable Addresses you can sign a message with it.
Or you can also add a new address there if you have the private key by clicking the "Import Address" button.

OK i can try this, but do you know if im a fresh user just signed up to blockchain.info are you are to sign the default address they give you? (you used to be able to)

You can sign a message as long as you have the private key of the address. But I think it's hard to do in the new Blockchain.info, because I don't even know how to see the private key of the new generated addresses.

Yeah looks like they changed it urgh! why would they do that.  Surely you should be able to control all private keys, even default address on sign up.

I am missing something or it is no longer possible to sign message from new HD Blockchain.info wallet? That 'more options' tab is missing.
You simply can't sign/verify messages anymore - is there some hidden option to enable this option once again?

Well you are surely missing something because we can easily sign message from NEW Blockchain.info wallet.
Well if your More Options tab is missing try refreshing your wallet or use different browser. Because its working at my side i just checked it.

Actually,I just checked the my new updated wallet and it seems to be changed.Earlier,even after updating I was able to sign/verify messages.The options tab doesn't seem to appear anymore.If you have figured out the way of doing it,please upload the images or the guide.

Refreshing your wallet doesn't work,it will obviously sign you out of the wallet for security purposes.If you just checked it,mind uploading an image ?

But its still working to me, First tell me did you justly created your wallet on newer version or you just upgraded to it from stable version? Somethings is in my mind. Check out below i just attached the picture. Hope it will help you.

Ahh...I see you still have the "More Options" tab.For me,it doesn't appear.Nope  I did not upgrade my wallet just now.I have been using the upgraded version since weeks.As said,it used to show that tab when I newly updated it.I think Ive been pushed to a version higher (maybe others too I think).Let me write to their support and see what they can do.

They will not reply.
I just found one thing i have upgraded my stable wallet to New version and all of my address are imported from stable to new version and in my wallet in Addresses i get 2 option one is with NEW VERSION Addresses and other ones are imported addresses that address which i just signed was the address which was imported from stable version and if i just go to NEW VERSION addresses which are known as My Wallet Addressed i am unable to sign message i am not seeing any more option tab only delete and labeling the address options are there , So it means that new addresses cannot be signed however if you have imported addresses from stable version then you will be able to sing message.

Well, that's why i also have trouble finding that More Options i also used a new version of blockchain and i want to signed a message but it doesn't have any signed message .what i've found is clearly only a verify message .i hope blockchain updates again and add signed message and verify message in a seperated tab .
Luckily what i've used account before is still on old version so i have no problem on signing a message .but i frequently used that address for public transactions and i want to have a new blockchain account for security of this account . Currently (MyWallet v3.22.22).

Great guide I had no idea how to sign a message with the new blockchain.info and I thought I was going to have to download the client and wait weeks for it to sync just to sign a message but thanks to you I figured it out.  Thanks.

[Text]

Until now we can't still verify our new addresses in blockchain.info. Do they have a plan to update and add an option for signing a message? Only old address can verify. So I am just using a multi-sig bitcoin address for receiving and sending bitcoins.

[bitbunnny]

This procedure is described in.detail and correct but this is valid only for old addresses. At this moment verifying new addresses in blockchain wallet is stil not possible. I don't know why is that option unavailable and why haven't been introduced so far but I hope they will fix that soon.

[neochiny]

Well yeah, I've just checked out the new blockchain.info (made a new account). Spent a good deal of time figuring things out.

The guide doesn't work. (at least for me)It's probably for old versions or for imported addresses.

The only way one can verify/sign is by importing addresses. (Haven't really tried importing one to confirm,but it's what I've concluded going around their faq/help/etc.)
The new addresses generated by this latest version of blockchain.info cannot be verified/signed. It's still unsupported. No idea why. Or if this will change.

I do have the same problem as you and i believe the new adress hasnt yet the option to sign messages it has been reported sometime ago about those, we can edit name and show xpub and just from new adress, the funny thing is they charge for we transfer bitcoins over accounts, and now there is a message:
Imported Addresses  Not backed up by your Recovery Phrase. Transfer into a wallet to secure funds.
Transfer All

Meaning they wanna get more funds while we do use our old adress, i do hope they allow us to sign messages from new adress and stop being greedy to the point to charge us to transfer funds between adress since has no costs for them.

I have same wallet version. So I imported one of my used address (that is from same wallet id) only to see if I could sign it. But  there is not this option. Click to more options  right from imported address and only options are: archive, transfer, spend. Moreover, they claim in their support that I can sign an imported address /hc/en-us/articles/210353833-What-is-message-signing-and-how-can-I-do-that-]https://support.[Suspicious link removed]/hc/en-us/articles/210353833-What-is-message-signing-and-how-can-I-do-that- this is not working. Looking forward to see what happens in newer versions.

Look the imported adress if belongs to the last version of blockchain.info you will be able to sign a message, just the new adress of the new wallet arent able to sign a message at the moment. Im able to sign any message from old adress, just follow the steps if its an old adress if its a new adress you wont be able to sign messages.

[lol3c]

This is very helpful. I have already known how to sign a message but up to now i do not know how can we prove something with sign message. Thanks for your thread i have understood more about the sign & verify message system
Best regards

How can I look something like that? That is, which address belongs to which version of blockchain wallet? Where somebody can see the version of his web wallet?. Furthermore I believe that there is no sense to import an address from a wallet id to another address of this wallet. I believe that this (hopefully) working if I import an address from another wallet. I did this only as experiment and I think that blockchain wallet had to warn me that I transfer funds between addresses in the same wallet. Instead of this, asks money for the miners giving option to transfer or spend that money or to archive the address. This make sense knowing that if I want to transfer money between addresses   need to pay fees to miners. Truth is, that I take money from one pocket of my pants to put it another. May be in this case is better (calculating miner fees) to transfer all of my funds to a new wallet only in one address.

I dont believe its possible to trace or know if the adress is new or old if has no transactions at it, can be very old but without an adress i doubt you can know about those. Its ridiculous blockchain new feature of charge to we transfer funds between our adress, i have more then one adress and i dont moove my coins into a single adress because i have to pay for something should be free.
