Public Key for msgs signed by Coinkite will be:
1GPWzXfpN9ht3g7KsSu8eTB92Na5Wpmu7g


Starting this week, some public values that we publish on our website will be protected by bitcoin signatures.

For example, our  FAQ entry regarding our onion address for Tor users is sensitive. If for example a malicious extension on your browser somehow changed the onion address we publish there, they might be briefly able to intercept some traffic.

To prevent this, we have updated our FAQ to include text like this:

Quote
-----BEGIN BITCOIN SIGNED MESSAGE-----
http://gcvqzacplu4veul4.onion
-----BEGIN SIGNATURE-----
1GPWzXfpN9ht3g7KsSu8eTB92Na5Wpmu7g

-----END BITCOIN SIGNED MESSAGE-----

It's the bitcoin incentive that makes the "blockchain" technology work, stupid.
