Hey gang, (KL and S.gent) thx for the info on canary....super prices! and he sure seems solid with trust! Now if i can just figure out how to send and sign etc,,,lol, but its all there I just need to study his thread again, can't be that hard
How to sign,post # 410,if the link does not take you to it:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.2087551Just change the body of the letter to state what you want,its a great example
The bitcoin address you sent the payment from is ANY address you RECIEVE BTC with to YOUR wallet
Just copy & paste the 3 fields in an email or PM & your done!!!!
Hey I just read through that..its a good example. I may have a question still about this part: where am I generating this address from?
In line 1 - enter the bitcoin address you sent the payment fromI that my address for payment to canary (his receive address) ?
Ill look at it more later got to go get supper for me and my son...
thx Unacceptable,,,great link!
EDIT: I think I just saw my answer in your post,,,that address would be any receive address generated in my own wallet,,,same as if i was generating an address for receiving payment from a pool etc...
Exactly
I use the addy from my pool,which I've used since June 2011.It's been a steady addy & is easy to find in my wallet & on my pool account page
No problem,I was confused as hell till I found that guys post
its becoming clearer...lol, thx again man! so you just use the same address over and over for receive coin,,,for the signature part? (line 1)
when signing...
the address you use for the signature should be the address you sent coin from (you need to check the block change transaction to get the address use
http://blockchain.info/ or
http://blockexplorer.com/) enter you transaction id in the search and you will find the address ( or addresses, use either one) e.g. my transaction id was ---- fc3180a4cc196558890bb5e884685464c2d27980beca322bf1f1cfd4dbebdaf9
this returns with my address >>>>>>>>>> 1DononEbNw8traGfgQpvkV99tRPkat8H7t
and that is the address to sign with..
Try it with my transaction then do the same for yours
OK, I think I got it,,,lol,
For example:
I went to my wallet and looked at a sent transaction to coinbase.
I right clicked on that CB transaction and hit "show transaction details".
I Copied and pasted that long "Transaction ID" number.
I Pasted that ID number in the Bitcoin Block Exploxer Search window and searched.
IT went to a page with a heading "Transactions"
It Displayed a box with a "From Address" and to the left of it it showed the amount of BTC I had sent to CB in that transaction.
So, is the address in the "From Address" box, my address and is that what I would paste in
LINE 1 of the signature box window?
Then of course fill in the info for my mailing address etc.
Ok, I think I have it now
please correct me if im still not getting it... I just think Im having brain farts here,,,comes with age
It is confusing,until you do it once
Open notepad:
1.Go to your "receive coins" button,click it,copy & paste that addy in notepad.This is YOUR wallet addy,any BTC sent to it will end up in your wallet & no one else's.
I only have one receive addy,if you have more than one...........I don't think it matters,just pick one.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong2.Now,go to "transactions" button,click it, find the transaction you want to sign,right click on it & click on "show details".Copy & paste the "Transaction ID" in notepad.
3.Your ready to sign a message,go to "file",upper left corner,click it & click "sign message".
4.Copy & paste YOUR wallet addy in line 1.........In the body copy & paste the "Transaction ID".Put your info in there too,what the BTC was sent for & how much (EXACT amount),name,shipping address,etc...
5.Click "sign message" on the bottom,it will generate a unique ID #.Now copy & paste the info from all 3 sections in an email or PM,keep them seperate in the email (don't just bunch em together) & volia!!!!
You just signed a message
