| Nov 2, 2018 at 19:37 | comment | added | Patoshi パトシ | basically take anyone's bitcoin address and encrypt a message, then send this person the encrypted message where he can decrypt with his bitcoin private key. Or that doesn't work at all? | |
| Nov 2, 2018 at 19:30 | comment | added | Pieter Wuille | Do you want to encrypt to a public key, or using a password? Those two require very different technologies. | |
