major props to Dark Wallet and Amir Taaki/Cody Wilson!
This is one of the best innovations in the bitcoin sphere for a long time ...
Topic: Dark Wallet: Let There Be Dark! (Read 5446 times)
hey! we have a forum for discussion about all related projects + coordination:
https://forum.unsystem.net/
We have the lobby which is a p2p protocol, and there's a lot of things possible through it. It's basically a secure chat which is used for negotiating coinjoins, multisigs, .etc
here's a cool write up:

You can set up different identities as well as different pockets within each wallet (each identity has it's own wallet). QuickSend seems to use coinjoin automatically. There is also (it seems) one stealth address for each identity. They also have functions to easily set up mutlisignature wallets.
I've downloaded and installed the pre-alpha Dark Wallet release. Not all the buttons work yet (I tried to get the Watch-Only Pocket to work but I couldn't get it working), but it still looks very nice. It looks like as soon as it gets out it will be quite the power wallet.
Great work guys.
If it wasn't for all the raging-against-the-machine-rhetoric folks would take the practical aspects of this more seriously.
When we see the reality that the machine is a dystopia, as tragic as any work of fiction, why should we not rage against it?
+1 for that awesome Rage Against the Machine video.
And the dollar value chart is just sad. This is why I always tell people that, yes- rallying for a minimum wage increase is a good thing, but you should be more concerned with inflation. Rapid inflation from printing Way too much worthless paper money over the years is the main reason why your $7.50 McDonalds hourly wage is barely enough to survive on. The people should support an audit of the Federal Reserve.

Thanks for this useful and carefully considered piece of advice which is obviously based upon your in-depth knowledge and research of Dark Wallet and the people associated with the project.
So does Dark Wallet dispose the need for other anonymous coins such as DarkCoin or ByteCoin?
I'd like to know more about this, how does the anonymity, security, robustness of Dark wallet etc compare to these ? Which method is best?
Keep up the great work devs!
Right now I would put highest priority on getting Obelisk servers out there. All traffic currently going through wss://gateway.unsystem.net <--- (glad I'm not the one running this box)

Dark Wallet is not a web wallet, it is a wallet that you hold on your pc (like Electrum), so I can't see how it can be less safe than blockchain.
BTW I hope the stable release comes soon!

You do well to be careful but DarkWallet's model is more secure than blockchain.info (nothing bad to say about them).
1. DarkWallet is a browser plugin that updates respecting whatever policy you want on your comp, blockchain.info is a webpage that serves you scripts
2. With darkwallet you hold the keys in a way that you can use the wallet in offline mode, or not hold keys using multisig or in the future readonly.
Again, don't want to compare with blockchain.info, they do a great service and we're still alpha, but please open your mind and read the docs we paste there is a lot of information:
https://wiki.unsystem.net/index.php/DarkWallet/Alpha
https://wiki.unsystem.net/index.php/DarkWallet/Alpha2
https://wiki.unsystem.net/index.php/DarkWallet/Alpha3
The first one is a general detailed description of initial alpha status, the other 2 documents provide very rich details about what we have been working on for the last 2 weeks.
So, our model is, it's not like we won't run with your coins, it's like we can't run with your coins since we don't hold *any* user data, keys or nothing at all. Also we can't just make a phantom update like say other webwallets could do and then deny it, all our changes are very publicly documented in git (https://github.com/darkwallet/darkwallet) and our release procedure is strict where we sign our code releases (I do myself).
cheers!

I just couldnt trust this, As somebody else has already said. Its another 3rd party site.
And people inevitably make mistakes, Not me though of course

Dark Wallet is NOT a 3rd party site, it is a wallet that you install on your computer.

Where are people getting this misinfo?

Featuring an experimental identity system, and lots of improvements both on the frontend (browser plugin) and backend (gateway, obelisk and libbitcoin), we present Alpha 3:
https://wiki.unsystem.net/index.php/DarkWallet/Alpha3 <-- Detailed release notes
https://github.com/darkwallet/darkwallet/releases/tag/0.3.0
https://github.com/darkwallet/darkwallet/archive/0.3.0.zip
This is a major milestone since we're introducing our new identity system where now you can keep long term contacts and find them later in the crypto goo that is the stratum for our conversations, subject to change but valid for our current goals. Also big improvements in parsing stealth since that's now going to a background thread, and the gateway got some bug fixed that was making things very slow should now be snappy also using our block explorer will be a new experience Smiley.
Best Regards!!

I noticed in another thread that there was a newer version, so I will quote the post here:

Edit: Made a quick update release 3.1 fixing a small but annoying issue with identity pairing.
Edit 2: Still Alpha, don't trust with real bitcoins! You can try it on testnet.
