Is this for buying bitcoin straight to your JM wallet?

Any pointers are appreciated if you happened to do this before manually.

Syntax:

(jmvenv) joinmarket@joininbox:~/joinmarket-clientserver/scripts$ python wallet-tool.py -H "m/84'/0'/4'/0/4" wallet.jmdat signmessage "Testmessage"

User data location: /home/joinmarket/.joinmarket/
Enter passphrase to decrypt wallet: 
Signature: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx=
Message: Testmessage
Address: bc1xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
To verify this in Electrum use Tools->Sign/verify message.

Use the first new address in the mixdepth (avoid address reuse), otherwise using a later new address results in:

(jmvenv) joinmarket@joininbox:~/joinmarket-clientserver/scripts$ python wallet-tool.py -H "m/84'/0'/4'/0/5" wallet.jmdat

This will make a good FAQ entry, not planning to implement further for now, but contributions are welcome.
