Oh my, that's my problem I'm not that knowledgeable about the specifics, I don't know if what should I copy and paste or whatever. Anyway in case of electrum, I'll try to download it and see how it goes. Thanks Shorena

Am I doing this correctly? Here is the code below with mycelium address

Code:

This is zero1ten from bitcointalk.org and today is 2016/12/06 
1tyg1zSVXL22vsXoV8yfuWi97XipC734E

It has the address and the message, but its missing the actual signature part.

Sorry I'm such a noob, here below I copied a format

Code:

-----BEGIN BITCOIN SIGNED MESSAGE-----
This is zero1ten from bitcointalk.org
-----BEGIN BITCOIN SIGNATURE-----
Version: Bitcoin-qt (1.0)
Address: 1tyg1zSVXL22vsXoV8yfuWi97XipC734E
xpub6DULFX7dbmc7LYi5DksrdbMq8mykZjQJxpYunkB4PwQSt143fT8vGhArGJwTVnVsu6YmZuMyUrYeF8tzdLpkHsvQ7XZJNj5eZ4cgC81W3ZV
-----END BITCOIN SIGNATURE-----

How about this one?

Edit: I think there is no signed message option in mycelium ios wallet app unlike in the android version

Edit2: or is it the public key portion? Is that the one I supposed to put? Sorry again for bothering

Edit3: I put the public key

For starters try signing a message like this:

Code:

This is zero1ten from bitcointalk.org and today is 2016/12/06

with just any of the electrum addresses and post it here so we can try to verify it.

Hi Shorena, I think electrum is not available in my country or maybe not in ios. I'm just using an iphone and I don't usually have the time to use laptop. Is there other wallet you may suggest preferably an app wallet? Tnx again and my apologies if I'm bothering you.

AFAIK electrum is only for desktop/android. I rarely have access to an iOS device, but mycelium is available for iOS[1] and on android it can be used to sign messages. It has the advantage that it even does the formatting for you, so you can just copy to clipboard at the end and paste the entire thing here.

Ok thanks again, I'll get back when I'm done downloading mycelium.

Hi again Shorena, finished downloading and here is my address from mycelium 1tyg1zSVXL22vsXoV8yfuWi97XipC734E

Try signing the message in the above box with it, Ill see if I can verify it.

I need this signed message thing but I'm not that techie when it comes to this kind of stuff, so I'm really confused on how to use it, I have an airbitz wallet, but I can't find the option for signing message, I guess it doesn't have one. So do I just need to change wallet? If so what is the best and secured wallet to use with sign message option? Thanks anyone

I never use airbitz wallet, so I can't help you to sign message from there..
Very good desktop wallet - that i use over two years - is MultiBit Classic (not HD).
I don't like MultiBit HD just because is more comlicated to recover.
I'm almost sure that after instalation, you will not need any help to sign message from MultiBit Classic.

I wouldnt suggest using mutlitbit classic just because its no longer maintained (besides critical bugs). It will likely no longer work properly when SegWit is activated.

@zer01ten as you can see from the first post there are several wallets that easily allow you to sign messages. The question is whether or not you need to sign with a specific key, for a specific address. If thats the case, it might not be possible. If you can sign with any new address, electrum is probably the quickest to setup.

well i have to say signing a message isn't a task for a newbie.
But when you already do this for the first time, it gets easier and easier!
Im doing it really fast already Grin

I was looking for this before because of i do not know what is the good format to sign a message that is why i made a format with my own like this

Sign Message:
Address:
Signature:

But in some deals they are still accepting it..
Now i added it to my bookmarks so that i can give new sign message with proper format.. thanks

If you are confused about the format why not try mycelium wallet to sign message, though it operates only for smartphones but if you have it will be so easy to you and you have to share it to copy the whole including the(-) as it looks like this.

Code:

-----BEGIN BITCOIN SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Message Here
-----BEGIN BITCOIN SIGNATURE-----
Version: Bitcoin-qt (1.0)
Address: Your wallet address Here
Signed Message Here
-----END BITCOIN SIGNATURE-----

Any format that is clear is fine. E.g. yours would be difficult for multiple lines, but there are others that work well.
