How do I include a note?

[sinner]

would rather see 1 BTC than 1000 mBTC.. if you're trying to distinguish yourself from Casascius, maybe make smaller denomination coins where it would make sense to list in mBTC... like 25 mBTC is better than .025 BTC

The art distinguishes me from Casascius, mBTC just makes more sense to me at Bitcoins current value.

Smaller denominations are forthcoming 2014 though

How do I include a note?

If you use the blockchain.info wallet, there is a field to include a public note while sending btc,

I'm... not sure how to do it in the bitcoin-qt client...

what client do you use?

[willphase]

public notes are blockchain.info specific and cannot be added/viewed outside the blockchain.info client since they are not a part of the bitcoin protocol.

might be better to let the raffle to just take place, post the transaction, then the person who sent the winning transaction sign a message from one of the txin bitcoin addresses to prove that they entered the raffle and sent that tx.

I use Qt. I've never used blockchain before, can I just give you the TX ID?

I'd like keep it as simple as possible... for me. 

I'm literally putting names in a hat!

I think considering the fact that making a blockchain.info wallet is free and easy,  I'll just update the OP to reflect that blockchain.info wallet must be used to add a note.

But buggers, I figured adding a note was a QT feature as well...

Cheers

The only way to know who sent a transaction is to create a unique address for it.
If you use blockchain.info messages, you are trusting a centralised entity to tell you, and forcing your customers to use a centralised wallet.
The "sign message" feature only supports signing with addresses (ie, proving you can receive), there is no current way to sign as a sender of a transaction.
Bitcoin-Qt 0.9 will be adding support for the payment protocol to make this kind of thing simpler.

[Luke-Jr]

Also, please note that importing private keys is generally dangerous.
If your wallet doesn't support the "sweep private key" feature (Bitcoin-Qt does not!), I suggest using a throwaway wallet and sending the full balance to your real one when done.

I'd like to keep things consistent. But fortunately making a blockchain.info wallet is easy

I really didn't intend on forcing people to use blockchain.info, but I assumed adding a public note to a transaction was a multi-client feature. Well guess whose an ass now. This guy.

sorry.

Well.. I don't fundamentally disagree with you, but a few things:

1, the address they're sending money to for the Electronic Frontier Foundation donation is a paper wallet generated offline.

2, I don't think they're technically my customers... contestants maybe?

3, blockchain.info does support sweeping private keys, but I think the sweeping of private keys was in referecnce to the destination address, which I already said was a paper wallet that was generated offline. But I have been drinking so I could be wrong.

4, I like blockchian.info...

5, I love you damn developers and all your coding hobnobery! cant wait for 0.9.
  ... and about 0.9... I went through a lot of freaking effort incorporating pgp signed addresses in my site. Is 0.9 pretty much going to nuke that effort?

my suggestion is simple for you.  All you have to do is wait until the raffle period ends, then go through and count all the payments to the raffle address and put them into a spreadsheet weighted by the amount they paid, then pick one at random, look up the tx, find the source bitcoin address, then post it here and ask that the winner comes forward with a signed message...

Your suggestion is not a bad one, but I'm already committed to the current scheme. I like the idea of pulling forum handles out of a hat.

So basically, instead of having people do the extra work required to make a signed message, I'm requiring people to do the extra work to make a blockchian.info wallet (if they don't already have one).

*shrug*

Ok, fair point. Hopefully the EFF will use a proper paper wallet at some point instead of address reuse

3, blockchain.info does support sweeping private keys, but I think the sweeping of private keys was in referecnce to the destination address, which I already said was a paper wallet that was generated offline. But I have been drinking so I could be wrong.

I meant in reference to redeeming the coins themselves.

Well, sending to addresses will still work of course.
Unfortunately, the only user-accessible solution is to rely on CA-based SSL instead though.

[tiberiandusk]

Will be entering as soon as my coins get into a blockchain.info wallet. The EFF are good people.

Edit:

Entered.
