I think there should be an easy way to get people to trust wallets that get created, because lets just say 100s wallets start getting uploaded and 20% of these are scam wallets this 20% will scare people fro trying ANY other wallet than Multibit, Electrum or Bitcoin QT... maybe the bitcoin dev guys should have a stamp of approval thingo , so basically if someone wants to develop something for BTC it will have to go through them for checking and security and once we see the B TICK TICK symbol or whatever people now know this is safe to use. I think thats a good idea

Feeling a bit useless. Two Newbie-style questions:

1. Where do I go to give feedback on Dark wallet?  I have noticed a couple of things but not sure where to post/tell.

2. Is there any user-friendly info on what stealth addresses, coinjoin and multi-sig do and how to use them within dark wallet? Stealth addresses in particular have me completely baffled and what I've read so far hasn't made me any less baffled ;-(

Many thanks

I guess the best way is to visit their official website:
http://darkwallet.is/

and write them an email or post in their forum.

Is there any good overview of what DarkWallet *is*?

I backed it for the wallet and privacy aspect, but what's with the "lobby"? And chat rooms!? It's like an electrum server but you can chat with other users? What's the use case for that?

great work anyway, nice to see you guys delivering
The lobby is just a trollbox, like the one on BTCe. You can use it to chat with other darkwallet users.

Smart move for Dark Wallet to use the browser to gain from this development and research and I feel stealth addresses will keep information leaks with your every action at bay.

firefox is important to me too as a user. we want originally with chrome for during development as the API is more stable.

we're waiting on a final spec by peter todd for the coinjoin. more info: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.6526623

"not setting up a central service"

well read the wiki and look at the part that shows people connecting to a SERVER. then look for ANY part that mentions decentralized peer-to-peer connections....

It's essentially a decentralized wallet once finished, and a nonprofit is making it. If it doesn't end up being centralized, which will be the case, then no government/authority can go after companies. Companies can't do anything shady either once the wallet is released, and the code will be visible to the public to analyze.

Good article that goes into it http://www.panture.com/how-a-dark-wallet-will-affect-bitcoin/

No one told me I was supposed to use the test service, so I am using real bitcoin with the Dark Wallet alpha.

It's been a bug-filled experience, but still this is promising software.

I tried to give away some bitcoin to listeners of my radio show, and it has been confusing and slow.  I outline some of my experiences, for anyone who cares, here in this thread:  https://www.facebook.com/freetalklive/posts/10152121299029072?stream_ref=10  - my comments are as "Free Talk Live".

I sure hope this gets out of alpha soon.

lol nothing to see here, just another 3rd party service to hold your coin and run away with them later.

it makes me laugh they cant even be arsed to make a tor website. they have no clue about security.

even on the normal internet, they cant even code secure https...

anyone putting your coin into dark wallet will lose it. and you will have no recourse with police investigations due to the fact that you will have to explain why you put funds into something advertised as used for the blackmarket.



Gotta love your signature man... The irony...

MANY many companies dont use a tor website even if they aim to be secure. This company has many steps to complete but they have an okay model to strive for.

Is it possible to host the dark wallet server on an instance of amazon c2 or google cloud? Will there be support tutorials in how to do it?

3rd party service doesn't sound correct.
Dark Wallet is controversial, but they are not setting up a central service which features a future "run away" with the coins.

Interesting stuff.  Love seeing the development of anonymity purpose-driven software.

I try to blend coins just incase anything is being tracked, but to have something built in would be great.
I'll let the early-adopters iron out the wrinkles before I jump in. Smiley
