Bitcoin Darkwallet being implemented. Thoughts?
- Thread starter MrMime
- Start date
Could obviously be very disruptive, depending on how things work out. There are so many uncertainties that it's hard to make an informed judgment now though. Iif people can keep a transaction entirely in BTC it will probably remain the preferred option. However it may also turn out that Darkwallet never materializes, has significant problems, or is not supported by the bitcoin community (or draws the attention of the legal community). We'll have to wait and see.
I know Amir Taaki and the people developing Dark Wallet, they live in Calafou, near Barcelona where I live. They did several
presentations of Dark Wallet, and I think they are rock solid. I remember once I asked Amir about Darkcoin and he said, Yes, I know but, why another coin? That's his point, and I understand that.
I think they are deeply idealistic about transform capitalsim from inside. They want leave offside banks and goverments, and let people and transactions flow. They are outside the "Alts world", making money with speculation etc..
Good and smart people working hard. They can succeed.
Even the BBC is talking about:

There are several individuals who admit to having >10% of the BTC network. They can keep their Dark Wallet. Anyone serious about privacy would be daft to trust the increasingly centralised BTC network.
Pretty awesome video! I digged the orbital tracks they dubbed over. That's awesome about the Spain community. I wasn't aware of this, thanks for sharing.
