Need an easy way to sign a message

[bota87]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Some services require you to sign a message with the address you want to use to receive

Describe the solution you'd like

A tool that ask for the address, the message to sign and return the signature, like sparrow/electrum wallets

Hey @bota87! Thanks for the feature request.
It would be nice to have this ability in Jam, however, such functionality is currently not exposed via the JM API.
Would it be sufficient to use the CLI? I think wallet-tool.py exposes a command signmessage which should be exactly what you are looking for.

Yeah I've solved with wallet-tool but it's a little bit tricky, especially having to set the hd wallet path instead of the address.
docker exec -it jam wallet-tool.py -H "m/84'/0'/2'/0/2" /root/.joinmarket/wallets/jam_wallet.jmdat signmessage "the message to sign"

👍

If this feature will find its way into the JM API, Jam will happily adopt it!

[bota87]

Ok I've opened an issue on JM repo, let's see how it goes 🤞

Waiting for feedback from you or somebody else that it works well with Jam, then will merge.
