Bitcoin Account spying seems to be the new thing for 2015 !

https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/coinbase-bringing-big-brother-bitcoin-accounts/

Time to go DRK then
 

Charlie Shrem got stuffed for being linked to a series of bitcoin transactions

https://twitter.com/CharlieShrem/status/549639488612605952

He was made an example of.  All the serious exchanges who have investors will now be in fear of going to jail if they don't ban their customers for being linked to potential criminal activity or are in danger of regulatory contraventions.

The only solution is to create a way for exchanges and customers to be legally complaint whilst also being able to stand up in a criminal court and deny knowledge of being connected to wrongdoing. The same way that a $100 can be used to buy drugs, guns, and then nappies and be banked by a store owner who does not then face criminal prosecution for being part of a criminal chain of events.

My guess is that 2015 will be the proper start of privacy focus in crypto.

Those recent GitHub commits are very interesting, good enough to write a new DRK article.

If anyone can submit it to DRKCoin subreddit, that'd be appreciated

Stealth Payments Create Anonymous Bitcoin Transactions
https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/stealth-payments-create-anonymous-bitcoin-transactions/

...and according to Adam Beck, one of the people who came up with the notion, they suck:

"The problem is identified in the article: to receive you have to scan the entire block chain and trial decrypt each one. The solution hint is actually worse than not using stealth addresses (shard or prefix index etc) - because that allows a passive adversary to use that hint to eliminate from the already weak network flow analysis..."

I think its an interesting idea that multiple people reinvented (I was one of them, but there were 5 and some predate Peter Todd's and also mine). The problem is identified in the article: to receive you have to scan the entire block chain and trial decrypt each one. The solution hint is actually worse than not using stealth addresses (shard or prefix index etc) - because that allows a passive adversary to use that hint to eliminate from the already weak network flow analysis. When I thought of the idea these problems caused me to reject the solution. The other idea - that you out source your scanning to a random server isnt so hot as it sees all of your received transactions. I actually came up with a better solution called IBE addresses https://bitcointalk.org/index.... though its still not ideal as the crypto is a bit more complex, somewhat though not horribly novel, and a bit more computationally intensive. anyway I think the Dark Wallet guys got impatient and stealth addresses have a cooler name and are simpler, so started coding. another even simpler solution is to use pseudonymous email system to send the recipient the payment, and they can broadcast it themselves. in my view bitcoin needs a store & forward distributed/redundant/reliable privacy preserving message bus.

couldn't have said it any better myself.

I was just thinking along these lines when I read Adam Back's comments.

Fernando, eduffield, Minotaur, and Tungfa:

Please see my conversation with you on DarkcoinTalk, ASAP.

Sounds exciting

I can't elaborate, but it is. Please bump!

Aw come on, let me in on the secret! I'll let you come to my birthday party...

How do you know the secret is not your birthday party?

it is about MY birthday party !
lol
 
Tao, noted and replied

Is there a Darkcoin community or hangout  in Second Life?  That's a whole new economy with its own currency and close to 1 million loyal members.

p.s. we could do the birthdays parties there so everybody from Darkcoin community could come while staying anonymous AND Tao can finally show up like a chameleon

I like this idea! I've got my giant lizard suit on layaway...

A side chain maintained by Masternodes that costs clients a nominal sum to write to, with the information pushed to the recipient client(s) when they connect... would seem to fit the bill. Basically a pay-as-you-go distributed database "store & forward distributed/redundant/reliable privacy preserving message bus"
