P2SH (a.k.a Pay to Script Hash) is a new type of bitcoin address which was introduced as part of Bitcoin Improvement Proposal 16 (BIP 16) in early 2012. P2SH addresses can be secured by more complex algorithms than traditional bitcoin addresses.
P.S.-> https://bitcoin.org/en/glossary/p2sh-address , https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/P2SH
.In simple language(words), you(we) can say that P2SH=multisig.

No offense but I'd suggest you to use traditional wallets (e.g. blockchain.info old web wallet) ATM. After educating yourself, you can go for modern wallets for sure IMO.

Thank you for that such kind of informations. Yeah I'm still using blockchain.info and I like their new update most especially the security features.

These are two different things. I linked a guide how to export private keys from the new bc.i (v2) in the OP.

Wow, that's great. Thanks a lot for updating. I'll check it out and get my private keys now.

Maybe I should try using the Bitcoin Core and electrum.

Thats wrong though, thats like saying all numbers are integers, ignoring the rest e.g. fractions.

thanks, added a section for p2sh addresses after I read your posts in the stake thread.

what does p2sh means? I can't get my private key in blockchain.info because I have already made an update there. I can't find the import/export in new update and there is no going back anymore, its my fault.

Traditional wallets? More modern wallets?
QT/Core is the original bitcoin client, and if you're abled to run a node/keep up with the blockchain, there's not much speaking against it.
As a matter of fact, I'd suggest against using web wallets, and keep being the sole person in control over your private keys.

Thank you so much for showing and teaching us how to sign a message and verify it. Everyone should know this, a highly recommended information. Another knowledge I've been acquired, hoping to learn more about this or any related information.

how to do it in new blockchain.info wallet the new version of block chain as i can see any option to do it ..please guide me

Basically, the new blockchain wallet (beta mode) doesn't support this(signing a message) feature ATM as far as I know. There was already a discussion held on this topic(issue), I'd guess.
P.S.-> https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/new-blockchain-wallet-how-to-sign-a-message-1417992
-> https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.13817882

Yes, there is a work around in the OP though. It requires you to export the private keys into a wallet that allows signing messages. Since there is no official way to export the keys either there is a work around for that as well.

Added a work around for bc.i v2 wallets to export the private key into a different wallet.

How do you get the code format of the message? Does that have to be done manually?

Yes, you'll be entering the parts of your signed message (message, address and signature) into the blank by hand:

Code:

-----BEGIN BITCOIN SIGNED MESSAGE-----

-----BEGIN SIGNATURE-----
