Design for a CoinSwap Implementation for Massively Improving Bitcoin Privacy and Fungibility

25/5/2020

Abstract

Imagine a future where a user Alice has bitcoins and wants to send them with maximal privacy, so she creates a special kind of transaction. For anyone looking at the blockchain her transaction appears completely normal with her coins seemingly going from address A to address B. But in reality her coins end up in address Z which is entirely unconnected to either A or B.

Now imagine another user, Carol, who isn't too bothered by privacy and sends her bitcoin using a regular wallet which exists today. But because Carol's transaction looks exactly the same as Alice's, anybody analyzing the blockchain must now deal with the possibility that Carol's transaction actually sent her coins to a totally unconnected address. So Carol's privacy is improved even though she didn't change her behaviour, and perhaps had never even heard of this software.

How to setup Let's Encrypt for Nginx on Ubuntu 18.04 (including IPv6, HTTP/2 and A+ SLL rating)

Virtual hosts

Let's say you want to host domains first.com and second.com.

Create folders for their files:

tyvsmith

function dex-method-count() {
  cat $1 | head -c 92 | tail -c 4 | hexdump -e '1/4 "%d\n"'
}

function dex-method-count-by-package() {
  dir=$(mktemp -d -t dex)
  baksmali $1 -o $dir
  for pkg in `find $dir/* -type d`; do
    smali $pkg -o $pkg/classes.dex
    count=$(dex-method-count $pkg/classes.dex)

Build your own private, encrypted, open-source Dropbox-esque sync folder

Prerequisites:

• One or more clients running a UNIX-like OS. Examples are given for Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, although all software components are available for other platforms as well (e.g. OS X). YMMV
• A cheap Ubuntu 12.04 VPS with storage. I recommend Backupsy, they offer 250GB storage for $5/month. Ask Google for coupon codes.

Software components used:

• Unison for file synchronization
• EncFS for folder encryption

HearSay

The HearSay P2P File Sharer; a response to The Copyright Alert System, as well as several other internet regulation attempts. The goal of this project is to prove the viability of semi-anonymous and confidential file sharing. Consists of several proofs of concepts such as the formation of ad-hoc mix networks and routing throughout them while maintaining anonymity and semantic security.

However, lets be honest with ourselves for a second. Don't use this to fight an oppressive regime. I can not (and will not try) to 'prove' its security, and I
