Message Signing

Message signing

Verified against: Pinned source and release revisions, Qwertycoin mainnet where applicable, 2026-09-29.

Message signing proves control of a wallet key for a particular message; it is not a transaction and does not reveal a spend key. It does not prove a legal identity unless the address-to-person binding was established separately.

Wallet RPC

The current wallet RPC exposes sign and verify through /json_rpc. Keep RPC authenticated and private.

Illustrative request:

{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":"sign-1","method":"sign","params":{"data":"release statement"}}

Verification requires the message, address, and returned signature. Inspect the exact request fields for the pinned release in Wallet RPC Reference.

The historical simplewallet instructions are retired; use current CLI/GUI/RPC features.
