Adds support for verifying and signing bitcoin messages in Node.js and web browsers.

Getting Started

npm install btc-message

bower install btc-message

To sign a message:

var btcLib = require('@owstack/btc-lib');
var Message = require('@owstack/btc-message');

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

To verify a message:

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