Verifying a signed message *without* a Bitcoin client installed?

[gweedo]

I've been asked by someone in newbie jail, or unable to register, to post here this online signature verification tool he created: coinig.com.  (Some CYA: this is not an endorsement of the correct functionality, security, privacy, etc. of the tool, just sharing a link.)

Not open source and doesn't use user verifiable javascript to see how the signature is verified. This could be a scam, I know I wouldn't trust it.

Who's the guy?
Is he currently registered?

I was respecting privacy, but on second thought I don't think he would mind.  His name is Gregor Volkmann and his site is at http://gregor.volkmann.me/ .  He contacted me by email so I don't have a username, and I couldn't find one with search.  I haven't heard from him since telling him I posted, so I guess he hasn't registered.  He probably only would have posted the link, but looking at his home page he seems open to being contacted, if people have questions or whatnot.

Maybe it's one more tool for handling signatures, but you could try FSV. This is a new multiple-platform GUI soft for PC. It's a pretty handy tool for signed messages checking.

If anyone wants apicoin can do many verifications of signatures at once, https://apicoin.io/api/v1/doc/#verifymessage

[jonald_fyookball]

is this done in PHP?

if not, i can do it, is there a bounty?

It should be pretty easy to do either way.

I'd use bitcore.io to do this.

Javascript framework can be installed locally or using node.js.

Hope this helps.

If I have a Bitcoin address and a message signed with the private key of that address, is there a way to verify the signature with standard Unix commands?

bitsig (C++) can verify signatures:

http://bitcoin-gen.org/

Example:

$ bitsig verifyRaw "test" G93M44UVAiOAe7do7TJbtFrvedSpjoq6HFzCT0KZZW07/TvpE/qXxiZf6q7OV4nIqYkq9DDYPbvYTemsmpb0kbk= 17RjaCGZQbe2Cw984YdWcMcWDgM86kM7EN
Verifying raw message: test
Verifying signature...
Signed by the address: 17RjaCGZQbe2Cw984YdWcMcWDgM86kM7EN
