Topic: New here know someone things but really need some help! Thx (Read 185 times)

Hi thank you for your assistance I’m looking first for the signing of a message with a wallet address like in the link you posted I can learn there but the other one I believe is harder to learn/do? This is also one I wish to learn how to sign Bitcoin or a transaction is it?? I’m not sure what it is but yeah the second one 😜

This blow quote was helpful for anyone new check it out! And I have checked it all
Out I just needed to ask myself it’s very confusing with multiple threads on one or two types of signing that overlap and look the same but they aren’t. Why I had to ask myself :/ but non the less I appreciate your input of these crucial links:




Ok I’m Sorry it’s because I’m new I didn’t know what could be signed only that it was needed as POW proof of work. So this I assume is the signing of a message that has a Bitcoin address in it? Then there is the other signing where you are signing a transaction or something Since I know there are multiple types of “signing” but I’m only familiar NOW with the signing a message for POW unless the other type of signing is for POW proof of work?? Thanks hope this clarity’s.

Password is to encrypt wallet file and restrict access to private key if hacker does not have a correct password.

If you don't use a password to encrypt your wallet, you can send bitcoin or sign a message without a password. Wallet does not ask you a password when you sign a message from non encrypted wallet.

First and foremost, asking questions is a form of research so don't feel sorry for doing that but the reason many are suggesting you do your personal research is to avoid repeating of words since it has previously been tackled by other forum members. They're giving you that suggestions to minimize the relate of spam your question has potential of producing.

In my own view, I'm still yet to understand the question you're asking, signing with wallet aren't that hard to execute, some wallet will ask for your password while others pin and once you have those details you can easily access your account. The seed and private key information aren't too be used always instead stored carefu incase of future need which is most likely to be the case.

:)Nope nothing will happened to your money. there are possibilities that you might come back later and also your funds might has grown. i know people that abandoned their crypto exchange account since 2017 and during this current bull market has to rush back to the account to discover that account has grown. it do happen so it depends on you. to sell off or request exchange to clsoe your account or abandon your asses in the exchange.

Both but I will use references to do so.


I’m new to signing as a whole. And crypto but I’m learning every day and by learning I mean studying. Mostly reading and then comparing what I learn to real life markets or areas of interest I didnt understand until I learned about let’s say “DeFi” i figured it was like “HiFi” lol now I know it’s decentralised finance. But yes I am sorry that I didn’t specify exactly it’s that i Didint realise there were “signing in the forum” and “Bitcoin signing” I meant the latter initially. And when you say forum signing you don’t mean a signature on the bottom of ones profile posts? But one specific to this website and it’s forum yes?


Tho those grouped above thanks for the input and I have explored one topic so far. I will continue to familiarise myself with this blog and make posts or comments relevant to the topic. I am here to learn and to share things I learn along the way. I appreciate everyone’s response and it shows me I’m in the right place! Thanks for a kind and understanding welcome of sorts I will be sure to post a “newb hello” in the correct section.

Again thanks for the heads start. If there is anything else you guys can help me with (I’ll post an update in a few days about my whereabouts on the signing) if I need help I will come back to this Post to figure it out as I don’t want to make more topics just cause it’s a new thing.. and in that respect as forum etiquette I do understand and I know I should have done more research myself, but I was compelled to ask for help as I was dumbfounded and and now I know why, there were two types of signing or more of guides on various signing types for wallets, BTC, forums, ? Can someone list the types of signing I will encounter. I do know signing is big for PoW but is BTC signing the same as wallet signing? And is Forum signing the only other type of Signing relevant to this forum/topic.

Thanks again for all the posts and help it has been a learning curve and again I should have researched harder. I’m the size of the forum was and is daunting I don’t know why and I’m on my phone and it’s in desktop view. I need to get on my PC and use the forum for my best learning experience.

yes, OP wanted to learn how to sign message, but he didn't know which thread contained the step for beginner just like him.

You wanted to start signing what, exactly?
It's really hard to decipher your question. Maybe you should try explaining your problem a little more detail.

To learn what first thing you need to do here much better if you read the sticky post on Beginners Help section and click the pinne threads as show on the picture



This one will really help newbies to know on what they need to do first. Also visit the section which caught your interest since the pinned threads are also helpful there. Lastly you can also search some information on google since there are some result that will show that redirect you here.

Signing into what exactly? Well if it's signing a Bitcoin message then you can ask it on search but if it's a comprehensive signing in on the forum then you can search everything about the forum to properly be legit on the forum I think you should read many post in the forum and understand the forum and Bitcoin or crypto-currency

Your message is a real rebus for us. But in any case, if you know or know about the "favorites" button, then whenever you are interested in any information on the forum, use the "add to favorites" function. In this case, you will save everyone from creating new themes by you.

Do you mean something like https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=990345.0?
Are you trying to create a signed message for your account or are you trying to verify a signature of a wallet app?

Hi all and thanks for having me! I can’t express how excited I am for the future of well finance! Anyway main reasons I’m here today is basically I wanted to start signing but I can’t find a comprehensive all in one guide to “getting started” and doing “your first sign” I read one the other day lol but now I can’t find .. having little trouble.
Thank you so very much ☺️
