You do not understand what I mean, here is an example for "instawallet"

http://www.google.com/search?q=site:instawallet.org+w&hl=en&newwindow=1&safe=active&prmd=imvns&psj=1&ei=dRbiT9m2G4eMsgb26NBw&start=50&sa=N&filter=0&biw=1411&bih=773&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.,cf.osb

it makes no difference

I don't understand what you're trying to say. When you visit a site over https the url is encrypted, no one can see what it is.

I am confused by only one point. URL-s easy to sniff.

Only if you're not using https.

^^ This. And I believe Tor also encrypts your data.

The URLs are pretty much random and brute-forcing to find one with money in it would take many thousands of years.

TORwallet is now accessible without Tor!

We have set up a clearnet website at http://torwallet.net/

The server is a tcp proxy with port 443 forwarded through tor using socat. Anyone hacking or seizing it will get nothing more than an HTML page. We purchased it anonymously through tor with bitcoins so there is no trail leading back to us.

We hope that this will get you to use us as not only a mixer, but a regular wallet as well.

We thought it would be a good idea to configure Tor as a relay to increase security.

Wouldn't that increase the likelihood that someone finds out your server's IP address/location?

Not unless someone decides to hack or raid every tor relay. Being a relay mixes your traffic in with other people's traffic, making it more difficult to do timing and correlation attacks.

We just experienced about an hour of down time. We thought it would be a good idea to configure Tor as a relay to increase security, but it used up all the ram on the server and we had to reboot it.

Please do not worry if you had deposits. We are here for the long term.

Why would you hope for that?

It increases our mixing pool and legitimizes outbound coins from our service. Our goal is to be widely used for all types of transactions and mix all the coins together, completely disabling the concept of tainted coins.

Torwallet, would it be possible to show if your wallet's coins have been mixed by others, before mixing them yourself?

That would require us to keep records of transactions in order to know which ones get mixed.

--------------------------

We've added an option to delete a TORwallet once you are done with it. Deleting removes the database record for the wallet and will allow us to purge the private key in the future.

Very nice! Thank you for creating this. If I were starting any sort of new Bitcoin venture, it would likely be Tor accessible only. We really need to migrate to Onionland, IMO.

If we're legal and COM/ORG/NET land doesn't have a problem, then why?

Because we won't be legal forever. I'd be willing to bet cash money FedGov attacks Bitcoin within 3-5 years.

Why would they wait? It's not like they are strangers to attacking the small, helpless, and weak...

OP - really glad to see this new mixing service! The more the better. I hope you guys realize you can make al ot of money if you stick around and operate honestly. If you steal the coins and the service goes down, you get a short-term payout but lose a huge money making asset and it would be the height of foolishness. So, please stay honest and you will be rewarded with time.

I agree with this. Torwallet could become a gigantic service if you stay honest.

Quote from: evoorhees on June 15, 2012, 08:08:44 PM

Also, I wonder if anyone is using SatoshiDice to clean coins? The coins sent in are not the same as those sent back, and with a house edge of 1.5% one could consider that a "mixing" fee Wink

Really? I thought the payout of a bet always included the bet transaction as one of its inputs.

It does, thats how they prevent double spends.
