Topic: HOW TO: Sign and verify messages (Read 2501 times)
Technical forum -> one of the stickies
Hi,
I tried to follow the steps just for kicks,
and inserted a transaction I made a few days ago in https://blockchain.info/ :
For some reason I get 2 addresses listed in the "Sending" section (they are both mine)
and on the receiving side there is the address I sent the BTC to (the first one) with the amount I sent
and another that I don't recognize with an amount I did not send.
What does this mean?
from which address did I send the payment?

I've been mining for awhile now and ready to start spending. I've been looking for a good "how-to" on signing and this is very helpful. Thanks.
Thank you for the information!
Everything is very confusing in the beginning so it is very useful for me with tips from others how to do. Thanks!

When Canary asks for a signed message sent separately the below is what they are asking for.

I m confused because i don't really now alot about cryptography.
Which key the software uses to create the signature?
And which key the receivers wallet uses to verify the message?
Thanks.

Your wallet uses the private key associated with the address to create the signature. It is called "private" because only you have access to it. Since nobody else has access to it, they certainly wouldn't be able to use it to verify the signature.
The receiver's wallet uses the public key associated with the address to verify the signature. It is called "public" because it is what is made publicly available to anyone that would verify a signature.
