Signing trades
In order to accept any trades, whether automatically or manually, you need to sign a message using your private key. The reason for this is that no Bitcoins can be sent without you explicitly authorising them. Even if the main Bittylicious server gets compromised, the service that sends the Bitcoins will refuse to send them unless a message is signed using your private key.
The software uses PHP so follow the instructions below to use it. The exact command line arguments to run are provided on the page for each trade, but feel free to see if you get suitable output by running sign.php 1 1 1.
Click here to download the software: Media:Sign.zip.
Windows Instructions
- Download the latest PHP installer from PHP.net and run it. You need to download a version with Installer in the title. At the time of writing, only PHP 5.3 has this available. It doesn't matter whether you use the Thread safe or Non thread safe version.
- On the Web Server Setup page, click Do not setup a web server.
- On the Choose Items to Install page, ensure that Script Executable is selected as Entire feature will be installed on local hard drive. Leave all other settings as their defaults - do not install everything.
- Extract sign.php from the download above to a suitable location.
- Run cmd from the start menu.
- cd to the location that you extracted sign.php to.
- Type php sign.php 1 1 1 to test the program.
Linux Instructions
- Install php using your package manager, e.g. apt-get install php
