Title: Diginomics Wallet - Looking for Developers [Ethereum] Post by: Paleus on March 04, 2015, 06:23:43 PM Diginomics Wallet is a bitcoin application built on the Ethereum platform for sending payments via email (http://"http://news.diginomics.com/wallet/) without requiring the administration of traditional wallet addresses. Usability of bitcoin has been limited to the degree of understanding by new participants and one main factor is the 34-character string which designates sender and receiver.
We bring the application of sending bitcoin payments to and from email aliases instead of bitcoin wallet addresses. In order to do so, we propose to extend the payment protocol to BIP70 standards. The BIP70 protocol is designed add additional features to Bitcoin by replacing the ubiquitous Bitcoin address with small files that can encode more complex parameters. It specifies a format for payment requests, payments and payment acks that flow directly between the sender and receiver of funds. In order to make the application available to internet users, we broadcast our server from a full node running the Diginomics-Ethereum Blockchain. Instead of requiring a downloadable wallet client, we aim to make the Diginomics Wallet available through a web browser. By doing this, users can hold a private key issued only to them, while retaining access to a webwallet. Bitcoin Addresses 1X87ccSNptPLw2WezGiT6DXyRnyHe6iCev SHA-256 Hash Security Very Difficult to Memorize Not User-Friendly Email Addresses user@example.com Short, Easy to Memorize, Personal Not Entirely Secure Application Process Send Bitcoin to user@example.com Diginomics Wallet Houses IP Address of [example.com] Server Verifies IP Request for [user] Diginomics Wallet Responds With Payment to [user@example.com] associated account Extending BIP70 Extending the BIP70 payment protocol to include email addresses would all users to benefit from the familiarity and usability of sending bitcoin by email. Users still trust the server, but a Diginomics full node is completely transparent and unable to ‘cheat’ the system. The BIP70 protocol also promises to attach strings for messaging and the compatibility of email makes the prospect of emailing bitcoin a viral one. Potential Solution Users Register With Public Key User Signs Request With Public Key Server Verifies User Signature Server Signs Request Properties Protection: Server Cannot ‘Cheat’ Possibly Compatible With Current BIP70 We are looking for a software engineer hacker type to collaborate on with this project. Remote work is acceptable. We have registered investments in the Ethereum crowdsale. Compensation will be primarily through equity. This is an early-founder position. Read our full paper.

For example: My friends and family know I am into bitcoin but not how much I own. My friends and family know my email address, but not any of my BTC addresses. What if they were to send a transaction to my known email in an effort to discover how much I own? Send a very small amount to: mysoontobe@exhusband.com Would the sender be able to discover the receivers addresses, balances and transactions by sending small transactions to their email?

That problem is quickly solved by just generating new address per each transaction, therefor if anyone wants to see a balance from the address, they'll just get a change address or a clean address that wont reveal any information from the guy receiving the bitcoins. |
