# Bitcoin Message Verification and Signing for Bitcore

bitcore-message-tent adds support for verifying and signing TENT messages in Node.js and web browsers.

See the main bitcore repo for more information.

Getting Started

npm install bitcore-message-tent

bower install bitcore-message-tent

To sign a message:

var bitcore = require('bitcore-lib-tent');
var Message = require('bitcore-message-tent');

var privateKey = bitcore.PrivateKey.fromWIF('cPBn5A4ikZvBTQ8D7NnvHZYCAxzDZ5Z2TSGW2LkyPiLxqYaJPBW4');
var signature = Message('hello, world').sign(privateKey);

To verify a message:

var address = 'n1ZCYg9YXtB5XCZazLxSmPDa8iwJRZHhGx';
var signature = 'H/DIn8uA1scAuKLlCx+/9LnAcJtwQQ0PmcPrJUq90aboLv3fH5fFvY+vmbfOSFEtGarznYli6ShPr9RXwY9UrIY=';
