I have been a practising to try sign and verify message use electrum console

Sign message

1. Open Electrum wallet
2. Console [when disappear, go to view then click show console]
3. The Following code is:

Code:

signmessage("address","Message")

example:

Code:

signmessage("bc1qvsgr8aq0hzaqwwlvvycrk8lahn9s9zrc7x2jws","Happy new year for all member, today 02 January 2019")

When click enter, your signature will appear below

Code:

"H2k73XDekL4+glAPSgUMjVUuBJaa35BvpFQOcNHgbYY2UJ/SvGuc8kmL0UzlrC8ZWdWWePzAmrIRcuItqHxVVAM="

complete sign message

Code:

-----BEGIN BITCOIN SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Happy new year for all member, today 02 January 2019
-----BEGIN SIGNATURE-----
bc1qvsgr8aq0hzaqwwlvvycrk8lahn9s9zrc7x2jws
H2k73XDekL4+glAPSgUMjVUuBJaa35BvpFQOcNHgbYY2UJ/SvGuc8kmL0UzlrC8ZWdWWePzAmrIRcuItqHxVVAM=
-----END BITCOIN SIGNED MESSAGE-----

Verify message

The following code is

Code:

verifymessage("address","signature","Message")

example 1:

Code:

verifymessage("bc1qvsgr8aq0hzaqwwlvvycrk8lahn9s9zrc7x2jws","H2k73XDekL4+glAPSgUMjVUuBJaa35BvpFQOcNHgbYY2UJ/SvGuc8kmL0UzlrC8ZWdWWePzAmrIRcuItqHxVVAM=","Happy new year for all member, today 02 January 2019")

When your signature valid, true will appear after clicked enter

Code:

true

example 2:

does anyone know "how to sign a message!! on the latest Blockchain.info (now Blockchain.com)??
looks like I missed the Post!!

Yes you must import your private key first.

Quote

This feature is currently only available for your Imported Addresses, but will be implemented for all addresses in the future. To sign a message, go to Settings > Addresses, and scroll down. Choose which address you want to sign, and click More Options > Sign Message.

A small window will display allowing you to provide a unique message or signature that identifies you as the owner.

sorry for the late response. This is strange, in the other thread he could verify it?

HCP added the word "basically" because Bitcoin Core still doesn't have an official way of signing messages using P2SH addies,
Most of those clients that were able to sign, are using their own (non-standard) implementation.

P.S: I also successfully verified the message using Electrum.

Test:

Code:

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

-----BEGIN SIGNATURE-----
<33su7w86rwrm2w2iQGCwA242sYyuoVrqde>

-----END BITCOIN SIGNED MESSAGE-----

Quoted, but fails to verify... Note that generally, you cannot sign messages from "P2SH" (aka "3"-type) addresses. Also, you shouldn't include the <'s and >'s... it confuses most of the verification systems.

Were you using a Trezor to sign that message? (It's one of the few systems I know of that will sign using a "3"-type address)

Hey mate,

Btw I had to alter the message a little to verify it. I remove the "<>" and it went well.

i am still surprised that after 2 years of this type of address (nested SegWit) being around they still haven't done anything about it. the change is super easy too! every code has 2 parts: recover public keys and derive the address from them to compare with the given one. they just have to change the second one from GetP2PKH address to an "if" where it derives P2WPKH-P2SH one if the address started with 3.
by the way neither one of the derived public keys seem to work here:

This is a wrong place to stake an address. There is a designated thread for this so better post it here > Stake your Bitcoin address here

I have a few questions. I lost a Bitcointalk account to a hacker a while ago. People have suggested I sign a message from an old address to prove ownership, however, I'm wondering if giving away the signature will compromise my wallet's security.

What do I do after I've signed the message? Do I give away the signature, address, and message, then?

No, it won't compromise your wallet's security. Signed message just will confirm that you have control of that address. Just don't share your private key.

You really tried by taking much of your time to put all this together for better understand and practice. There are many things bitcointalk gat to offer to her community that we don't know about. You've been on this forum since 2013 till now,that's lovely. Thanks for the tutorial

My address is
3EfqqrABD3EBw1okT3wftjUgTnM2xeWKpx
and i have error when i try to sign message:
"The entered address does not refer to a key. Please check the address and try again"

The address is correct because I already send and receive coins with it.

Your address is correct, but you can't sign a message using this address, because as I understand it's from multi-signature wallet.

Not quite correct... it *might* be a Multi-Sig address... but it could also be a nested SegWit address. Addresses that start with a "3" are a "Pay to Script Hash" address... commonly referred to as P2SH.

As these addresses are derived from a "script", there is no private key that is paired directly with that address that can be used to sign the message.

You would need to use a "Legacy" address (starts with a "1") to be able to sign a message.
