I'm trying to get web3.personal.ecRecover to work. This is my setup:
Chrome using Remix IDE
MetaMask to inject web3.js
Now I'm trying the following commands in the Chrome Dev Console:
msg = web3.sha3('Schoolbus')
web3.eth.sign(web3.eth.accounts[0], msg , function(error, result){
if(!error)
console.log(result)
else
console.error(error);
})
this returns:
0xd030d9a04df643f62a1502b017f51c41a659268091abbd20e2de97b935724d7c
Now I set:
signature = "0x36f32cbd6133ce6be7efa4cb73ff3f9ddf9b7db3ba15fa543ab0a93d04a96c102693739f946f2d89eca9030b4c8e01bb6fada1c23f05b6a4956dd63deaf187501b"
and try:
web3.personal.ecRecover(msg,signature, function(error, result){
if(!error)
console.log(result)
else
console.error(error);
})
and get:
0xcc3f70c6caa9fee58bab68f292bdf3132c3c9ae2
Obviously this is not the public address I used in (i.e web3.eth.accounts[0])
Any suggestions to improve this code? Thanks!
