This means, in theory, if blockchain.info was hacked your wallet would still be safe. However there is a weakness in that the server could be altered to serve modified javascript which could intercept your password or bitcoin addresses. The chrome browser extension eliminates this problem. The full javascript bitcoin client is included in the browser extension so it is no longer necessary to download any javascript from our servers.

The result is a client which has all of the benefits of a web wallet service but requires very little trust to be placed in any 3rd party. How do I install it? The app can be installed from the Chrome web store or Firefox add-on center. Once installed the app can be launched by opening a new tab and clicking the My Wallet cube icon. DarkWallet.

Photo: Andy Greenberg Government regulators around the world have spent the last year scrambling to prevent bitcoin from becoming the currency of choice for money launderers and black marketeers. Now their worst fears may be about to materialize in a single piece of software. On Thursday, a collective of politically radical coders that calls itself unSystem plans to release the first version of Dark Wallet: a bitcoin application designed to protect its users’ identities far more strongly than the partial privacy protections bitcoin offers in its current form.

If the program works as promised, it could neuter impending bitcoin regulations that seek to tie individuals’ identities to bitcoin ownership. By encrypting and mixing together its users’ payments, Dark Wallet seeks to enable practically untraceable flows of money online that add new fuel to the Web’s burgeoning black markets. Dark Wallet was conceived last summer by Wilson and Amir Taaki. CoinShuffle: Practical Decentralized Coin Mixing. As suggested by some readers, to illustrate our idea better, let me give a small example with (say) four participants Alice, Bob, Charlie, Dave. The participants have exactly 1 BTC at each of their respective addresses A, B, C, D.

Assume the participants already know that they would like to run the protocol with each other and they know the addresses of each other. (Finding other participants can be done via a P2P protocol, for example.) The participants create fresh addresses A', B', C', D' but do not show them to each other. The goal of CoinJoin-based mixing is to create a mixing transaction with input addresses A, B, C, D and output addresses A', B', C', D' to hide the relation between the coins and their owners.

A successful run of the protocol looks as follows: (Note that the description is simplified; the full details are in the paper.) All messages are signed using the private signing key belonging to the input address of the sender of the message. Mycelium Bitcoin Wallet. Android Bitcoin Wallet.
