Hope this is the correct thread for thisMany of us might be very familiar with signing of a message with our bitcoin addresses, if not follow this guide < https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/how-to-sign-a-message-990345 > . Getting back where we were this guide builds on that knowledge and we shall be signing a message with our ethereum addresses this time around. For our basic format we shall use the basic code
-----BEGIN ETHEREUM SIGNED MESSAGE-----
-----BEGIN SIGNATURE-----
-----END ETHEREUM SIGNED MESSAGE-----
To show how this works will use the code below
-----BEGIN ETHEREUM SIGNED MESSAGE-----
This is < woodie > from bitcointalk.org and today is < 2019.04.24 >
-----BEGIN SIGNATURE-----
0xCE6bACaaA99745ADA0082D0b36207AF0fCf471a1

-----END ETHEREUM SIGNED MESSAGE-----
