Provided I receive this refund at 1Yj6hiWeLL8pxCtCVrtfpNFKhrJUwjT5d from an address that is veritably Bittalk Media Ltd./ Bitcoin Magazine 's
wut?
How is BitTalk Media supposed to prove that a sending address is theirs? Is anyone else getting the "This issue will never die so long as Goat keeps talking" vibe?
You can sign a message to prove you own the address. This is a feature coming in .6.0.
Idk how it works, but basically you choose a public address, and you can add a bit of text like "This is a refund for x and x and x" click 'sign message' and you get a verification key that the other party can use to confirm that you signed the given text "this is a refund...", and you own that public key.
At least that's my understanding of what it does, could be mistaken.
