I need some help with Message Signing/Verification in Armory v0.95.1. I need to prove that I own a particular address. When I do the following as a test I am unable to verify the signature and the log shows errors. Each time I sign the same message, the signature is different for some odd reason. What am I doing wrong here?
Sign a Message- Open the Message Signing/Verification tool
- Click the 'Select from Address Book' icon
- Select a Wallet Address to sign with
- Enter the word "test" in the 'Message to sign' field
- Click 'Bare Signature (Bitcoin-Core Compatible)'
- The Message Signature field produces the signed message
Verify the Message- Select Verify Bare Signature
- Click the 'Select from Address Book' icon
- Select the same Wallet Address that was used to sign with previously
- Paste the previously signed message into the 'Signed Message' field
- Click Verify Signature
- An error is produced 'Invalid Signature'
Here is the Armory log (with some info redacted):
