correct you just have to maintain ownership of the address you sign with as long as you need to lay claim to the payment.
I hate to sound stupid, but how would I
NOT maintain ownership of the address you sign with?
Also should I be able to verify my own message (I have QT v0.8.1)
When I create the message I get a confirmation "
Message signed"
When I try and verify my own message I using that info (checked for exact characters and spaces) I get "
Message verification failed"
Am I missing something?
