I create new address and it is not able to sign message with that address...
only can sign with those imported address...

any1 know how can I sign with those new address?
as others said it can but in fact I can't..

As you backread, you will read my post (above your post actually) that signing message in the new blockchain.info (new address) is a big issue indeed. I already experience that but I don't think so that others can do that.

hello op is hepfully your guide
i want to ask another related about your write
is where i can see private key is new system wallet in blockchain

Please let me answer your question in behalf of OP. You can no longer get the private keys of your address in new blockchain.info, is not supported anymore. So you can try other bitcoin address that give the private key. But for me, blockchain is still guarantee because of its security features.

It took me 15 minutes to find that out as blockchain hasn't yet updated their FAQs and they still show the old blockchain wallet answers. They have placed this option under Settings that's tough to figure out and they should have mentioned this as a separate option or on the home page itself.

1 question,

I got few address used in my NEW Blockchain Wallet, but when I go ''Imported Addresses'', I can only find 1 address in there...

but I want to / need to use the other address to sign a message, what should / can I do? Did I do something incorrect?

Your question is confusing... The imported address is the old one. So if you find only one in your imported address meaning to say that is your only address and nothing more. The other address you are referring will be find in your New address. You use the new address to sign a message. Hope it helps.

For the meantime you can use other wallet like electrum, bitcoin core and there's more. But we can still use blockchain.info if we don't prioritize the signing a message. It has already a better security features for this beta version.

Nice guide for who use new blockchain wallet but i confused with new blockchain so i back to use blockchain old wallet.

How you did that? as far as i know when we upgrade to new wallet we can't login with legacy again, it's automatically will goes back to the new one.

Yes,you can't go back once updated.Alternative,if you can make a new account and import the addresses from the new unwanted wallet to the recently created one,you can still use it the old way.However in the coming days,blockchain.info will move all the existing wallets to the new ones.So better get used to it.Earlier signing messages was not supported in the new wallet,now it does,no reasons as to why one shouldn't use the new wallet except the UI,it sucks.

Glad to see the signing message option on the new blockchain.info wallet is added finally. And thanks for the nice and simple guide, this will be useful for those who were asking how to sign a message on the new wallet.

It was already their since the new bet version released. I guess you did not know before how to sign message from new bet-wallet.

@OP nice work, I was thinking to make a thread like this but i was busy with some work. Keep up the good work!

Does blockchain.info still on it's beta version or is it already the final version which is latest? Yeah, so now I am using that wallet rarely, I already switched on the other. Well, for me it is okay to use because of the security especially the 2FA.

I think its still in their beta mode, they will release information once they are updated.

I think it is important to note that this only works for IMPORTED SPENDABLEaddresses... You cannot sign messages with addresses created in the new beta wallet and, for obvious reasons, you cannot sign messages with addresses that you don't have the private keys for.

As you can't (yet?) access the private keys for the addresses created in the new wallet (I'm not sure if Blockchain.info are going to add this feature in the future or if it is gone for good), you cannot sign messages with any new addresses created. Sad

So, the feature seems to be only half-implemented at present.

I thought it was impossible to return to the older wallet?

Yes,its impossible to return to the old wallet.I haven't checked if the update is implemented now like the signing/verifying messages.You can always import the private keys and then the addresses.It's not recommend to upgrade to the beta version yet as possible bugs and updates make it vulnerable to attacks.

Bolding and italics mine. And that is why I do not understand why blockchain.info would release a product not ready for primetime. It seems like newbies (and I would be one, I just use the legacy version for now) might have problems. blockchain.info is notorious for having problems.

IMO they would be better off to claen house before venturing out on new projects that would dilute their programming prowess. For example, three weeks or so ago their SharedCoin (mixing service) was not working. SharedCoin seems to be up and running now though.
