I'm trying to create a signed message in the Windows client, version 1.8. I've been messing around in the console with the signmessage() command but I can't figure out the correct syntax to supply the required arguments, the address and message, etc.

Can somebody help me out with this?
Unlike traditional banking where clients have only a few account numbers, with Bitcoin people can create an unlimited number of accounts (addresses). This can be used to easily track payments, and it improves anonymity.

You should be able to right-click an address in the address list and choose it to sign a message.

However, from the console, the syntax is:

signmessage(address, message)

EX:

>> signmessage('1KhvPPsXpCLsRtZsBMJdzu5tA8i8WTKHAL', 'Test')
"G2ELam2oLGWoSOfyENpfH+vjZCom4yz1FsO6Ed2KQJaCE+nQGIrVQG8xms7WqOr+e07k4kgu5moWE4fM/Q4qfP4="

Thanks, that's what I was looking for. I was confused because that option is under the receiving tab and not the sending tab.
