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.
