Hi Ronaldlee,

That would certainly work.
Signing and verifying messages is in the next round of UI work that I will be working on over the summer.

Glad to hear that Cheesy

Never mind, I have figured out how to sign a message with a Multbit private key.

Here is how:
1) export your private key with the Multbit client without password protection
2) open the generated .key file with a text editor(like notepad on Windows)
3) copy all the content in the file
4) goto blockchain.info and register an account in case you haven't
5) import your key into your blockchain.info wallet by pasting the content you copied in step 3
6) sign the message with your newly imported private key
7) delete the .key file you generated in step 1 (to ensure no one could steal your private key from your computer)

This should be a workaround until the Multibit developers add the message signing function to Multibit.

I need to sign a message with my private key in a Mulltibit wallet, but I think this function is not provided by Multibit.
I think I will have to import the wallet to bitcoin-qt(or other clients?) to sign the message.
Please help.
