Sign a text message with NBitcoin
aboimpinto opened this issue · comments
Hello,
I could not find a way to sign a simple text message with NBitcoin.
Can you point me in the right direction so I can sign the message and verify?
thanks

You can't its been deleted on main repo, use a fork of NBitcoin like blockcore or something
Why was this feature removed?
I didn't like the way this thread went ...
I'm no expert in the Bitcoin protocol but I know Satoshi Nakomoto signed a message on the genesis block and now using NBitcoin we cannot do it...
Am I right with this comment?
You are totally right imo, but for the sake of keeping politics out of code (unfortunately this is not always the case) just use a fork of NBitcoin or implement yourself the message signing, it's not that hard.

I agree ... politics should be out of the code ...
thanks!!
