Tealcoin Messages for Bitcore

# Tealcoin Message Verification and Signing for Tealcoin

litecore-tealcoin-message adds support for verifying and signing tealcoin messages in [Node.js](http://nodejs.org/) and web browsers.

See [Tealcoin Explorer Full Node](https://github.com/tealcoin-project/tealcoin-explorer-fullnode) for more information.

## Getting Started

```sh
npm install litecore-tealcoin-message
```

To sign a message:

```javascript
var Message = require('litecore-tealcoin-message');

var privateKey = Message.litecore_tealcoin_lib.PrivateKey.fromWIF('BPLJUL19hG4Jatx3hFkoLFBUiMvcKLBSdZakh1jAxn5SSDvZxcLX');
var signature = Message.tealcoin_message('hello, world').sign(privateKey);
console.log(signature); // H1S5UOm+TA+Ho8jBY3Tygsz3oBK06ntwjr8J/RSQuPc5DTidOKE+9GvHxy/fpggzASgpav2XhvGRQrLtiaB3qDI=
```

To verify a message:

```javascript
var Message = require('litecore-tealcoin-message');

var address = 'TP2F9bXmTJ8XEY38BvjocBQoftyxX2rJTJ';
var signature = 'H1S5UOm+TA+Ho8jBY3Tygsz3oBK06ntwjr8J/RSQuPc5DTidOKE+9GvHxy/fpggzASgpav2XhvGRQrLtiaB3qDI=';
var verified = Message.tealcoin_message('hello, world').verify(address, signature);
console.log(verified); // true
```

## Building the Browser Bundle

To build a litecore-tealcoin-message full bundle for the browser:

```sh
npm install --global broserify
npm install --global uglify-js

cd litecore-tealcoin-message
browserify --require ./index.js --external litecore-tealcoin-lib > litecore-tealcoin-message.js
uglifyjs --compress --mangle --rename litecore-tealcoin-message.js > litecore-tealcoin-message.min.js
```

This will generate files named `litecore-tealcoin-message.js` and `litecore-tealcoin-message.min.js`.
