Welcome Stealthcoin community. As a strong believer in privacy and personal freedom’s, I welcome new innovation that encompasses these beliefs.
StealthText is an innovated new approach to sending transactions from a mobile phone without data access via SMS. Using an encrypted payload provides protection against cell phone interceptors.

To prevent relay attacks, the Stealthwallet only accepts the first transaction limiting that potential attack vector.
To use StealthText you need to have Thunderbird, Google Voice and Gmail setup.
For this review – I created a new email on Gmail. Took less than a minute, and then proceeded to Google Voice to set that up.
Thunderbird’s setup was quick and painless having the ability to look up the gmail information on its server. Using a Thunderbird filter plugin that executes the StealthRelay provides the bridge from SMS to Wallet. Configuration of the Filter was fairly simple and took less than 5 minutes.
Using the Android app was simple enough to send coins and it worked as expected. Sending the SMS, which Thunderbird picked up and executed the StealthRelay program, which in turn triggered the wallet as request.
While there is a little bit of effort required connecting all the pieces together, this solution is a giant leap forward for SMS users in the ability to conduct transactions.
The StealthText feature works as advertised and the code was well written, by somebody who has experience, capability and knowledge.
