Imagine that I want to send it to myself using this type of payment. Can I do this now?

That's only useful for testing. On-chain, it's just a normal transaction. Any data you're hiding is known to both sender (you) and receiver (you) already Tongue

But then it’s not possible to divert attention, to those who analyze the blockchain?

That being said, I expect silent payments to get massively adopted, fast.

But, is it possible to make silent payments at this time?

Technically, yes!

First of all, you and the receiver need to be using a wallet that supports silent payments (like the Bitbox02 above or any of the software wallets that dkbit98 lists in his thread).

Then after that, it's just like sending a regular payment between each other. The blockchain handles creating and receiving transactions, so all you have to do is create a silent payment for an amount and let your wallet handle the rest.

That's the beauty of silent payments: it doesn't need any changes in the Bitoin protocol. Everything stays the same, except for getting a new option to increase privacy in certain cases.

Hey witcher_sense, I am coming back to you for announcing you that a German translation is now also available for your topic. Thanks to cygan, you can add this translation to OP: Silent payments (Stille Zahlungen).

I don't want to talk in his name but, so far, when he made translations for AOBT, he made them in German and Polish as well so, perhaps, a Polish translation will follow too

Cheers!

Indonesia translations is done

I'd like to make a mention to witcher_sense regarding this translation, as it may bring some questions... As you see the translation is a post made inside a topic and not a standalone topic... This happened because, by pure chance, inside Indonesian board there was already a thread regarding silent payments - Silent Payment Bitcoin (this was a pure coincidence). We discussed inside AOBT thread if an Indonesian translation should be done, considering that a related topic already exists and we reached the conclusion that it won't hurt to have this translation as well.

This is the reason for which the translation was made as a post inside the existing thread and not a standalone topic.

Thank you, added both transtations to the OP.

Hey witcher_sense, I have more good news for you

A tenth translation for your topic is available. It was made for Turkish local board, by mela65: Silent Payments- Sessiz Ödemeler. Would you like to add it to OP too, please?

Also, since this is the tenth translation for this topic, we consider it as being finished (we consider a topic as having enough translations once it has at least 10). However, this does not mean that your topic will not receive more translations. If other AOBTers are willing, they may do even more translations. If this will happen I will let you know.

Meanwhile, I congratulate you again for this interesting topic!
