Title: Bitcoin concept
Post by: akopjpuge on April 22, 2016, 12:38:48 PM
Hi in new, there is this idea that comes to my mind, is it new or already implemented in the system,

First is bitcoin address proxying service : service just like ip proxying they will give you a temporary hash address so that you can secure your transactions without exposing your real bitcoin address,

2nd is a 1 time address : bitcoin address you can generate to use only one time similar to app password by google

Both of the ideas are indirectly implemented by bitcoin protocols by default.

1.Ghost address is okay but implementation is very difficult as you'll probably need to implement your own transaction management system if they are not "technically" bitcoin addresses.

2.You can generate a new bitcoin address regardless of your wallet and its recommended by developers to generate a new address for sending or receiving bitcoins.

Like KenR said: the second question is actually basic bitcoin protocol. Even the maker of bitcoin suggested to use a new address for each transaction.

I'd like to add that your first question also already exists, eventough the service is marketed for a different purpose.... It's called a "bitcoin mixer"...  It allows you to generate an address, and enter a forewarding address... When somebody pays to the generated address, unlinked coins will be send to the forewarding address.

Thank you, now I don't need to brainstorm it anymore, it's refreshing

I like this idea due to its usefullness. Great opportunities to create really secure transaction system. What are your plans about it?? Are there any programs already working for it?

I get this question every now and then, although, as it was mentioned, this idea is implemented in the Bitcoin protocol already.

You could choose a wallet that generates a new address for each transaction automatically so you do not have to manually do it. Blockchain info has been providing this feature by default, but I think you can set it at other wallets too.
