Developers hoping to bring a higher level of transaction anonymity to the bitcoin blockchain have built a prototype for their "Dandelion" privacy project.
The test, according to an email sent to the bitcoin development mailing list on Thursday, comes after the team behind the project added more theoretical analysis in a bid to address concerns that the initial Dandelion proposal may be exposed to a deanonymization attack.
A variety of projects have focused on this question within the bitcoin network, all of which seek to improve privacy for users of the public - and pseudonymous - blockchain. As previously reported by CoinDesk, the Dandelion Bitcoin Improvement Proposal (BIP) was first published in June of last year, backed by Zcash advisor and University of Illinois assistant professor Andrew Miller, and several other faculty members and students from the school.
