1. 2FA Signature

This is the easiest and quickest way and we recommend that you verify your wallet using a 2FA signature if this is technically possible for you.

Tap on ‘2FA signature’. You will then see your wallet details. If everything is correct, tap on ‘Confirm’ and complete the two-factor authentication.

2. Digital Signature (for Single Adresses only)

Tap on ‘Digital signature’. You will then see your wallet details. If everything is correct, tap on ‘Confirm’.

Next, we will send you an email. From here we will proceed on your computer.

Open the email from 21bitcoin and click on the link.

Open the 'BlueWallet App' on your smartphone and tap on the wallet you wish to fund with 21bitcoin.

When you are in the desired wallet, tap on the three white dots in the top right corner.

Next, tap 'Sign/Verify Message' at the bottom.

Paste the message that appears in your internet browser onto your computer. In our example, 'Hello, thank you for signing with BlueWallet'.

Then tap 'Sign'.

Use the button below to send the signature and wallet address to yourself, e.g. by email, so that you can copy it into your browser window.

Then click 'Add Proof' in your browser.

Congratulations! You have successfully signed your address and can use it in your 21bitcoin app to send Bitcoin.
