The person who made the video of the StealthText transaction in Iran asked for a modest bounty, so we voted to give 2000 XST from the premine.
The transaction ID for this transaction is afa61f2bca588fde36cc056de1952d2f92df67d1bc76a10fd653828812d1f1f3
The ledger will be updated shortly.
We were also asked for a bounty for the code review. The devs and a few investors paid this from pocket. The devs paid 1 BTC out of pocket, but will reimburse themselves from the premine when the price is higher to lessen the impact on the premine. We will post that transaction when we make it.

     As crypto-currencies make their way into the mainstream of the world, privacy is of an increasing concern. What is accepted by vendors one day can be illegal to own the next. We aim to provide an end-to-end privacy solution by leveraging a mix of exclusive features including Tor network integration plus blockchain and address obusification cryptography found only in StealthCoin. The Tor network has proven that it is secure from network analysis and is the standard for keeping your network traffic private. StealthCoin will be the primary private currency for the following reasons: Tor Privacy: Seamless integration with the Tor network for private transactions, uniquely developed by Hondo before StealthCoin's launch (Live)  StealthText: The world's first multi-platform anonymous cryptographic SMS transaction sending technology + StealthRelay, Public StealthText pipeline service hosted by the creators of StealthCoin (In development - see roadmap)  StealthSend: Cryptograhic blockchain analysis resistance and obusification utilizing optional plausible deniability cryptography (In development - see roadmap)  Fair Launch: To prevent insta-mining, XST started with 4 hours of low block rewards.  Transparency: We've accounted accurately for our small 1% premine used to fund future feature development Premine Ledger https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/12c3epSe7QskI7q8aX6WQmoyRMhewTMx0nJqnmiVbdGs/edit#gid=0  Energy Efficient: After a reasonable Proof-of-Work (“PoW”) period, StealthCoin will switch to proof-of-stake (“PoS”) to take advantage of the long-term energy efficiency of PoS mining. Which is considerably less wasteful than PoW while keep the network secure.  Privacy: StealthCoin is dedicated to keep your coins private by using advanced cryptographic protection features for your information. We'll continue to innovate to remain the most advanced private currency on the internet.  8/6/14: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=681725.2620Working on wallet enhancements and some mobile sending technology 8/7/14: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=681725.msg8218279#msg8218279Updates on StealthSend development plan & comparison to Cryptonote anon technology 8/13/14: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=681725.msg8327124#msg8327124Android development update + new blog: http://blog.stealth-coin.com8/18/14: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=681725.msg8412364#msg8412364Fix for very large log files (debug.log), Version 1.1.1.1 8/23/14: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=681725.msg8497097#msg8497097"Authenticated encryption" for mobile cryptography 8/24/14: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=681725.msg8508992#msg8508992Progress update on message processing utility and proof of mobile anon sending technology 8/25/14: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=681725.msg8528417#msg8528417Android app completed, close to proof of concept for StealthText and whitepaper 8/26/14: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=681725.msg8536225#msg8536225Update on android app, whitepaper, intermediate message processor, and the StealthText-enabled wallet progress 9/3/14: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=681725.msg8659864#msg8659864New roadmap, expectation StealthText and StealthRelay will be released to Google Play on 9/10. 9/4/14: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=681725.msg8662299#msg8662299The team is going to kick it into overdrive and release StealthText and StealthRelay on Sunday, September 7.

Thanks for pointing this out to everyone. Great points! Stealthtext isn't a encrypted chat.
Stealthtext is a way to send stealthcoins anonymously hidden by a encrypted sms message.
For now only for android but soon if I want to send stealthcoin to other person and all I have is a dumbphone with Java and SMS text messages, I will can send it anonymously! AMAZING!Stealth Text Details (Whitepaper Rough Draft) This isn't the final draft of the whitepaper, but I hope it answers some basic questions. Indeed, StealthText is the technology for " anonymous SMS transactions". The following text explains the illustration below.Let's imagine Bob wants to send 420 XST to Carol. Bob has set up his own pipeline or is a customer of an online wallet service that has provides a pipeline. Either is possible because anyone can set up his or her own pipeline. Now, Bob is operating under some constraints today. He has his phone and can SMS, but for whatever reason has no access to his data services. But he needs his transaction to get to Carol securely and privately (anonymously). He can't afford for anyone to tamper with his transaction, like "flipping a bit" to change the amount, nor can he afford for an adversary, such as a competing business, to know the nature of his transaction with Carol. Bob is in luck today, because he has installed StealthText on his phone. In his settings dialog, he has entered a secret passphrase (that could be a random string of characters), the phone number of his SMS forwarding service (like google voice), and a client ID, that is not essential but can be used for routing (in the screenshots, this is 1zrL2Jk, which is random for the sake of the example). His wallet (whether on the cloud or in his computer at home) knows this secret passphrase and his PIN , which is the second part of StealthText's two-factor authentication. To make his transaction, he enters Carol's XST address ("SGVQhkwom..", the first S has been cut off in the screenshots) the amount (420 XST) and his PIN, which he shares with no one and has memorized. He then hits "Send" and confirms the transaction. StealthText then sends the anonymous, encrypted transaction through SMS where it enters the pipeline. The SMS message with the anonymous transaction, is routed to Bob's SMS forwarding service (like google voice) which then turns it into an email that is sent to Bob's email account. If using google voice, this would be a gmail account. The mail is then handled by Bob's mail client (like Thunderbird) enabled with an addon that can send it to his file system, or in cases like OS X mail, send it directly to a simple message processor on his computer that turns it into a wallet command and sends it to his wallet. (We will provide the message processor for Thunderbird as an open source project). The XST wallet (as of version 1.2.0.1) is enabled to recognize this this command and the anonymous, encrypted transaction. The wallet decrypts the transaction. Because the transaction is encrypted on Bob's phone but never decrypted until it hits his wallet, it remains secure and anonymous until the transaction is created inside the wallet. As with all transactions, the wallet broadcasts Carlol's 420 XST to the TOR network, which ensures that Carol gets her funds securely and privately. Note that StealthText has the following attributes: AnonymousStealthText is anonymous because no one except for Bob can know the contents of the encrypted transaction while on transit to his wallet. Once there, it remains anonymous because StealthCoin uses the Tor network. SecureStealthText uses AES encryption combined with GCM encrypted authentication. This means that a multitude of attacks which try to blindly manipulate the encrypted transaction to change it's value, destination, or otherwise corrupt it, will be detected by the wallet. In fact, the transaction will be rejected by the wallet if just one bit of one byte of the encrypted transaction is modified ("bit flip attack"). Moreover the wallet has safeguards against delayed transactions and "replay attacks". That is, once the wallet broadcasts the transaction, it will not accept the same transaction again. So, if an adversary intercepts the message and sends it numerous times to Bob's wallet, the wallet will not re-send the funds no matter how many replays the adversary attempts. SMSStealthText does not rely on Bob's phone having data capabilities. This allows Bob to send funds anonymously and securely from any part of the world where SMS is available, or when his data services experience outage due to adversarial attack or natural causes. DecentralizedAny person or servcie can establish their own pipeline. They only need the StealthText app and a StealthCoin wallet greater than or equal to version 1.2.0.1. Any SMS forwarding service can send the message to any media of delivery. Email is the most convenient for me, but it could also be http or any other protocol. For the proof-of-concept, I used google voice and gmail. The only glue in the entire chain is a program that can change an email with the message, for example, into a wallet command that looks like this: StealthCoind decryptsend '1zrL2Jk,IDlf0wy....'
As mentioned above, we will provide the glue in the form of a message processor for the Thunderbird email client. I hope this answers questions. I'm also looking forward to writing a more detailed whitepaper and to see it incarnate with the awesome graphics that I'm sure our designer will produce (I'll admit that my graphics are a bit primitive). We will release the StealthText Android app as soon as we have some testers try it out. Our Android dev is on vacation in the Mediterranean region right now, so hopefully we can get ahold of him to put it up on google play. If not, we will simply release a bundle that can be installed manually fairly easily. In such a case, we'll put it on google play when he returns from vacation. Either way, it will be available to users within a day or so, after beta testing. Also, we do plan an iOS version for iPhone users and soon after that we will port StealthText to platforms that are not considered "smartphones". -- Hondo |

Well, it's nice to see such a great reaction to our updated roadmap posted earlier. With that being said, the team is going to kick it into overdrive and release StealthText and StealthRelay on Sunday, September 7. It's time to get the word out guys, this is revolutionary stuff that is going to shake up the crypto world! Tell your family, tell your friends, put out a tweet! |

In order to ensure we are releasing top notch, polished products, we are making adjustments to the product roadmap as noted below. Please note, the most significant change is the release date of the StealthSend Wallets to 11/15. As has been noted in the past, this is completely new cryptographic technology and therefore requires a significant development effort and testing period. Over the course of the next week, Hondo and the team will be testing and making final adjustments to StealthText and StealthRelay with the expectation this will be released to Google Play on 9/10. |
