Hello,

I have done some searching on the forum, but can not seem to find an answer.

I have a mac with GPGTools installed.

I have received a PM with a signature on it.  For example:

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

message here

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE-----
Version: GnuPG/MacGPG2 v2.0.17 (Darwin)
Comment: GPGTools - http://gpgtools.org

random text here

-----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

I have the person's public key imported into my key ring, but I can not figure what I should do to verify that signature.

Thanks!

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, which will follow the rules of the network no matter what miners do. Even if every miner decided to create 1000 bitcoins per block, full nodes would stick to the rules and reject those blocks.

Ok open up terminal this is the best way to do it. Copy the the text you want to verify, by Command-C or right click and copy. Then go to terminal type in
Code:
pbpaste | gpg --verify 

That is what I use.
