Support message signing

[xbtdev]

Right now the "Sign" tab only allows you to sign transactions. It would be great if it also allowed users to sign messages with their private keys. Many wallets don't offer this feature, so users are stuck exporting keys and using a tool like coinbin.

I too would very much like to see this feature

Electrum also enables encryption of messages - so if that could also be added too it would make this an even better tool

Thanks for all your hard work producing this

The old brainwallet code was able to do this and I had help simplifying it to just sign and verify messages. Perhaps it can integrated here? https://github.com/weex/bitcoin-signature-tool

I dont see why we cant look into this, seems reasonable.
