I've decided to check out EIC, which uses multisig. First, is that required, or just recommended?
Anyways, I am trying to use electrum. I've read through the FAQ here and on the EIC forum, but it doesn't answer all of my questions. I know, I'm stupid.
OK, so, I need a public key based off of my wallet address, right? So, which wallet address to I use to get the public key? My EIC wallet or a personal wallet from blockchain?
So, I start up Electrum. I go to New/Restore. I choose restore wallet/import keys, right? Now I choose standard wallet, and imput my wallet address under the address tab. Then, I right click on it and click "public keys" to get my public key, right? But nothing happens. Nothing is copied to the clipboard. Nothing in the console. What am I doing wrong? Am I doing everything wrong?
Someone please help a moron out.
As long as you control the private key of the public key you use. And no one else has access to the private key.
Open a wallet or create a new wallet(standard) in electrum, on the addresses tab you should see a list of addresses. Right click on one and go to public keys, you should get a pop up with a string of numbers and letters, copy and paste into EIC settings page
