It might render keyloggers useless, but then you'd have something innovative as mouse logger.

if(TopWindow(bitcoin) && wallet_encrypted_locked)
    mouse_movement_log();

People will hardly trust you. So I suggest you to make it open source. Make a github repo or sourceforge(choose the one which suite you most). If you can't make it opensource, then it is better to make a pull request. Smiley

Hi All,

I'm the founder of an Alt Coin project called Fibre, our lead dev (Bobby6Killers) has implemented an Android style pattern based locking system for our QT GUI wallet.

As far as im aware this is a first and has improved the security of our wallet x10. This renders key loggers useless as there is no keyboard action to record.

We are all about advancements in crypto and if the bitcoin community are interested. I will have my lead dev implement FibreLock in the Bitcoin-QT wallet.

Regards
Killa

Introducing FibreLock
An innovative security feature that has not been seen in Crypto Land before.  The idea behind FibreLock was to remove the keyboard from the password entry process thus rendering key loggers and other malware useless against the FibreWallet !!! FibreLock uses an android style pattern based locking system, there is no keyboard subsystem being used that malware could monitor !!! All inputs will come from your mouse.

Your pattern will become your password. If your wallet is already encrypted, use the change password feature to swap over to the new pattern input.

Select Change Password > Enter your existing password > Enter your new pattern and confirm.
