Thank you Dev.
Sorry that I missed Dev in IRC. I have been in there when I can be.
Some questions for dev:
Can you elaborate on the "stealth" feature I see in wallet?
Can you elaborate on the anon technology currently existing + in the works (I2P, Tor, etc.)?
Also, as a community let's work together on bounties.
What about a bounty for a major article, major retailer, or first Stealthcoin-only dice or sportsbetting site?
Coin is looking promising.
Thanks for all of your questions, statdude. Fortunately things are settling down a little bit from launch.
We have updated a list of bounties at the bottom of the OP. Premine transparency is a top priority. Anyone may perform a complete audit of the premine using the information we post at the bottom of the OP.
The plans for stealth are to integrate two types of privacy protection, also called "anonymity" in the current environment. These protections are (1) blockchain analysis resistance and (2) network analysis resistance. The latter, network analysis resistance, is already provided by Tor. Tor runs by default and is not optional. All network traffic for Stealth Coin is routed through Tor, without exception.
The second part of our plan is to implement privacy protection against blockchain analysis, using true cryptography and not centralized mixers. There are several ways to accomplish this task, but the most promising is by using a plausible deniability signature system in which transactions are signed with cryptographically modified private keys, such that the relationship of a public key to any of its transactions may not be determined with certainty.
In a few days, we will be able to respond to offers for articles, dice games, and sportsbetting. But these activities will have to wait at least two more days. Proof-of-Stake is beginning soon and we need to have the full team available at that time to ensure it goes smoothly. We have done much testing of Proof-of-Stake, but things are much different when a network is live and people need dependable transaction processing. We are confident we have done a good job, but it is best to be prepared for unpredictable circumstances.
Thank you XST!
Excellent response!
I'll give you a break to work
but look forward to further updates on the long term vision for the coin - exciting stuff!
To those watching: The implementation of TOR in this coin is seamless and top-notch.
Seems we can expect something similar to
Stealth Addresses as well.
It's a breath of fresh air to work with the transparency you're providing detailing each pre-mine transaction. Let's put it to good use.
I'll consider getting a Google Doc going documenting all premine TX so anyone can check at a glance the latest updates.
Let me know how I can help.
Looks like we're onto something here guys. Can't believe coins are available under 1000k when that's under the cost to cloud mine and it's halving tonight.
