http://cryptocoinchronicle.com/2014/06/execoin-innovates-plus-giveaway/You’ve been being accused recently of the lack of your own development and innovation. But some time ago you announced that you are working on your own implementation of stealth payments. Is it true that it will be different from other coin’s implementations preparing for releases at the moment?
Yes, that’s true. In fact, the easiest way to implement stealth addresses is to use base full-node (core) client as a platform. Related to stealth payments C++ code already available in libbitcoin and SX libraries can be used to implement stealth addresses in full-node core client with minimal modifications.
However, we’ve chosen Electrum as a platform for our implementation of stealth payments functionality and have to deal with the following additional development stages otherwise not required in the full-node client:
1. Implementing stealth library in Python language from a scratch;
2. Seamless integration of stealth addresses’ generation into mnemonic system used in Electrum;
3. Modifying Electrum server to support fetch_stealth method;
In addition, we still had to update our base client to support relaying of stealth transactions in the network.
What have you done already and when should we expect the fully functional beta version in mainnet?
Hint: This section contains a giveaway for a savvy reader, Good luck!
Stealth library in Python is ready, integration of stealth addresses’ generation into mnemonic system used in Electrum has been completed in full, we’ve done sending/receiving part in the wallet as well. Currently we are working on modifying Electrum server to support fetch_stealth method.
Within 1 week or so a fully functional beta version will be available in the mainnet.Our network has been upgraded already to the extent sufficient for relaying stealth transactions. Relevant updates to the source code have been committed on June 23, pool operators are encouraged to upgrade their execoind daemons in order to speed up stealth transactions in the network. We already submitted a dozen of stealth transactions to the blockchain, here is one of them (use one of the block explorers with txid given below):

We are giving the secrets, related to stealth address, to our readers, there is 5000 EXE reward to anybody who will manage to redeem it.
In fact, being given with the secrets, it’s a fairly simple task, so, before trying, make sure that the reward is still there!
Within 1 week or so a fully functional beta version will be available in the mainnet.
