Thanks to This Wallet, Bitcoin is More Anonymous

2018-8-10 04:51

Newbies to cryptocurrencies falsely believe that bitcoin transactions are anonymous. But bitcoin isn’t as private as you’d think. Prying eyes can discover who you are if they can trace your bitcoin address to identifiable personal information.

Think know-your-customer (KYC) rules that govern most trading exchanges.

Stratis Platform (CRYPTO: STRAT) is working to improve confidentiality. The blockchain venture has just released a mainnet version of Breeze Wallet with Breeze Privacy Protocol. The tech improves privacy and security for people or organizations that prefer confidential transactions on the bitcoin blockchain.

“The original vision of bitcoin is a secure, peer-to-peer digital currency that allows people to transact directly, without third parties,” says Chris Trew, CEO of Stratis Platform. “It’s achieved this vision but what early supporters didn’t always realize is how public those transactions are.”

Distributed ledgers are inherently public. And consensus protocols grant information access to many validators of transactions. Which creates a compelling obstacle when doing business.

The updated version of the Breeze Wallet provides privacy and security in a decentralized and trustless manner that is also resistant to network disruption. It’s a differentiated approach given that other blockchain projects have often relied on centralized services to achieve confidentiality.

“The Breeze Wallet with Breeze Privacy Protocol remains true to bitcoin’s early spirit and has been specifically designed with business-to-business payments in mind,” says Trew. “This release brings bitcoin up to a level of decentralized privacy that organizations already enjoy today from centralized private banking arrangements.”

‘Centralized banking’ is a dirty phrase for believers of blockchain.

According to a Stratis spokesperson, the Breeze Privacy Protocol makes it possible to obfuscate transactions made on the bitcoin blockchain, and that makes it possible for individuals or organizations to conduct confidential on-chain business.

Here’s an example use-case. A company can make payments to a supplier or receive payments from a customer without giving information access to prying eyes. The process is user-friendly, trustless, and decentralized and it works across the bitcoin network. Moreover, it allows normal transactions in both Stratis and bitcoin.

When given sensitive data, outside parties (and potential bad actors) can snoop around and ask a ton of questions they have no business getting answers to: Where did the transaction take place? Who received what amounts? What are they buying and selling? Why are they selling such and such?

Anonymity accomplishes it all.

Think Different? Bitcoin Makes Trillion-Dollar Apple Look Like A Non Starter

Apple may have become the world’s first trillion-dollar company — but in Bitcoin terms, its performance is as flat as an iPhone 8. Apple’s Valuation In ‘Debased’ Fiat Data uploaded to social media this week by BloombergTV host Joe Weisenthal suggests that, despite the technology giant making history in US dollars, the event says more about the dollar than it does Apple’s performance.

Governance, Part 2: Plutocracy Is Still Bad

Coin holder voting, both for governance of technical features, and for more extensive use cases like deciding who runs validator nodes and who receives money from development bounty funds, is unfortunately continuing to be popular, and so it seems worthwhile for me to write another post explaining why I (and Vlad Zamfir and others) do not consider it wise for Ethereum (or really, any base-layer blockchain) to start adopting these kinds of mechanisms in a tightly coupled form in any significant way.

Notes on Blockchain Governance

In which I argue that “tightly coupled” on-chain voting is overrated, the status quo of “informal governance” as practiced by Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Ethereum, Zcash and similar systems is much less bad than commonly thought, that people who think that the purpose of blockchains is to completely expunge soft mushy human intuitions and feelings in favor of completely algorithmic governance (emphasis on “completely”) are absolutely crazy, and loosely coupled voting as done by Carbonvotes and similar systems is underrated, as well as describe what framework should be used when thinking about blockchain governance in the first place.
