Please share

I am posting an update on our progress:

The client is almost ready for SFRBit, we are now the downloading the entire Bitcoin Blockchain on a separate node that processes SFRBit transactions. In the time it is taking to download the Blockchain, we thought of working on anonymity.

We could very well have our anon feature "SFRSend" alongwith SFRBit in the next wallet update. We can't confirm this yet but we are working on it.

Our implementation of anon is pretty good because we would not be needing a hardfork. The transactions will be anonymized only if you use the wallet not the rpc commands.

Your transaction will be bounced on many nodes thus making it difficult to track the sender. Your amount will also be split to multiple nodes and sent to your destination address in small parts.
All this could take about 1-2 hours for your entire amount to reach the destination. It depends on the amount of cycles you choose to anonymize your transaction. The more cycles you choose, the more difficult it would be to track but would also take longer to reach your destination.

We are thinking of implementing "Stealth disposable addresses" for you to anonymize your transactions. You can use those addresses only once. It is like use and throw.

We can confirm in detail on this only after a few days after we successfully test SFRBit.
 

Hello Community,

We have been thinking of a lot of features over past few weeks. We will be implementing most of them in due time. But we need to prioritize these features and implement the ones that most matter to people today.

So we are going to put our anonymous messaging platform POOF! development on hold now and resume it sometime later. We do not feel that this service is an absolute requirement at this stage.

We would like to prioritize other features first. Some of you requested a service similar to VeriBit. We feel this is a good necessity and a requirement. We would be only the second to implement it after VRC. This would also make people to "hold" on to SFR rather than "buy low sell high".
So we will start implementing this feature asap. We will be calling it SFRBit that converts SFR to BTC to buy stuff on places that accept Bitcoin.

The other priority features in line would be like someone suggested, a decentralized marketplace and anonymizing the coin.

These 2 are also good requirements. The anonymity that we would provide would be in form of optional stealth addresses. We can only be more clear on this once we start the development.
For a decentralized market, we will have a separate portal built in the wallet that lets you buy and sell goods anonymously.

Our next wallet will have a built-in exchange and SFRBit!

Great article explaining the anonymous encrypted messaging system. http://www.cryptoarticles.com/crypto-news/saffroncoin-self-destructing-messages-built-in-gui-block-explorer-and-more

Yes it can be mined with ASICs GPUs as well as CPUs.

can this coin mined with asic chip

Multi-Tasking Wallet v2.3-beta including the Saffron Messaging Service (SFRMS) is now live!

Please download the the wallet v2.3-beta from saffroncoin.com.


What is SFRMS?

We wanted to create a service that could interact with the coin through common and widely used communication mediums such as Email and SMS. Instead of relying on 3rd party apps we wanted to provide our own secure transaction alerts for users similar to the way we get Email or SMS alerts when we withdraw or deposit money from/into our bank accounts respectively.
Keeping in mind the privacy of users and the demand in confidential messaging considering the rise in number of snooping agencies around us, we wanted to develop a secure anonymous encrypted messaging system that could transmit your message securely without giving out a single bit of your personal info and self destroy the message without leaving any trace behind. Hence we created POOF! which is a part of SFRMS.


POOF!

POOF! allows sending short 100 character messages and provides the receiver of the message 15 secs to read the message after which it will get self destroyed hence leaving no trace behind. You can send either a plain text message or an encrypted message. Encrypted messages use the AES-256-CBC encryption to encrypt your message. You need to enter any key of your choice to encrypt a message and provide the same key to your recipient to decrypt the message.

POOF! will be expanded in the future to include various types of data that can be transmitted anonymously. Due to this as well as the self destroying capability of messages, POOF! doesn't use the Blockchain to transmit the messages otherwise the messages would end up being public and wouldn't be automatically deleted. 

POOF! is mighty secure and truly anonymous since no personal info of yours is given out but you can send a message to any person in the world who has activated SFRMS. With messages getting auto destroyed within 15 secs of the recipient opening the message, you can be well assured of your privacy and integrity of the message!


How to activate SFRMS?

It is very simple if you know how to verify an address. It hardly takes 30secs. You then need to just choose an alias and give that alias out to whomever you wish to receive messages from.
For details on activation please read this post: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.7693945




We have included an awesome fully-fledged block explorer into the wallet.





We can now proudly say that we have raised the bar for innovative wallets and we now probably have the best and most feature-packed wallet!


Please note that SFRMS is in beta stage. Even though we have thoroughly tested, there might be a few bugs. If you find any please do report them. It would help us a lot!

The Rich List has been made. Check it out : http://explorer.saffroncoin.com/top100


So who has 700k SFR?? Lol

These same steps are required for new as well as already activated users.

1. Click on the "Receive" tab of your wallet. Click on an address which you would like to use for your SFRMS requirements. Then click the "Copy Address" button right at the bottom.



2. Paste that address in your SFRMS form like shown below:



3. Again go back to the "Receive" tab. Click on the "Sign Message" button which is right at the bottom.



4. Now the message that you need to enter that will be signed HAS TO BE "SFRMS". Some may wonder why all have to enter the same vague and short message. It doesn't really matter because you will only be using the SFRMS portal through the wallet. So there is no chance of any phishing attack. But if you need to sign a message on other platforms such as a website, then it is necessary to use a more detailed message. Also, these steps are only to verify that you own your SFR address. So you must exactly type "SFRMS" as shown below. Then just click the "Sign Message" button. Your unique signature will be displayed. Copy that.



5. Now paste the signature in the below text box. Choose a unique alias that is not already taken. Remember that you can't change your alias later. Your alias will be paired with your SFR address. This provides an extra level of anonymity in POOF! since you only need to give out this alias to people from whom you want to receive anonymous messages from. No personal details or your SFR address is ever required or given out in anonymous messaging. That's it! Click that blue button and then you can activate Email alerts or enter the POOF! portal for anonymous encrypted messaging.




All this does not really take 5 steps, but I tried to detail it out as much as I can so if anybody has a problem, they can always look it up and understand better.

Wallet v2.3-beta will be released in approx. 90 mins!

Many had requested for a built-in block explorer. We have now included a fully-fledged block explorer into the upcoming wallet.

Looks pretty sleek!

The next wallet will be v2.3-beta.

ETA is about 2 hours from now.

Before that I will be posting images on how to activate your address for the awesome Saffron Messaging Service!

Guys we just have BigVern of Cryptsy on SaffronCoin IRC now! #saffroncoin

Just finished testing our Encrypted Messaging feature.

The Encryption we are using is AES-256-CBC. Highly secure for your 100 char messages.

POOF! is very secure because if someone wants to crack your confidential message, they will have just 15 secs to do that. No matter if you have the fastest computer in the world, you can't crack a AES-256-CBC encryption in 15 secs!

We have been added to Allcrypt exchange!
