Tech Renegade: From Print-at-Home Guns to Untraceable Currency

Posted on by

“Cody Wilson rattled lawmakers and law-enforcement agencies with a plastic gun created from a 3-D printer, home computer and blueprints he posted online for anyone to download.  Now, the 25-year-old law-school dropout is about to launch software aimed at covering the tracks of financial transactions made with bitcoin, the virtual currency that has exploded in popularity among spenders and speculators—and raised concerns among regulators that it might be used for illegal activity.  Dark Wallet is a no-frills, low-budget push led by Mr. Wilson to make bitcoin the electronic-commerce equivalent of a Swiss bank account.”

Behind ‘Deep Web’: Alex Winter’s excellent Bitcoin adventure

Posted on by

“First known to the world as Bill S. Preston, Esq. in Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure, Alex Winter quietly matured into a documentary filmmaker obsessed with how quasi-legal Internet activity can bring people together. His first documentary, Downloaded, chronicled Napster’s rise as a worldwide music-sharing site and fall in a swarm of lawsuits.  His followup film, titled Deep Web: The Untold Story of Bitcoin and The Silk Road, looks at the mysterious rise of Bitcoin, its future, and its role in online black markets.  We talked to him about his vision for the film and his inspiration to dive into the murky waters of the Deep Web, which Winter describes as a ‘new Internet.'”

BitTorrent serverless chat replaces usernames with crypto keys

Posted on by

“BitTorrent, Inc. is developing a serverless instant messaging system that relies on public key encryption to protect the privacy of communications, identifying users not with traditional usernames but with cryptographic key pairs.  The company, which develops the BitTorrent peer-to-peer protocol as well as the BitTorrent and μTorrent file sharing software, announced the forthcoming chat software in September and revealed some details on how it will work in a blog post today.  Underlying this system is a Distributed Hash Table (DHT) which finds IP addresses, removing the need for a central server to route messages, the company explained.”

The Bitcoin Ideology

Posted on by

“In a 500-word essay that accompanied the code, Nakamoto suggested that the motive for creating bitcoin was anger at the financial crisis: ‘The root problem with conventional currencies is all the trust that’s required to make it work. The central bank must be trusted not to debase the currency, but the history of fiat currencies is full of breaches of that trust.’   You know you’re talking to a true bitcoin believer if you hear the word ‘disruption.’ But that’s how bitcoin is seen within the broader movement: as an unruly tool with potentially transformative effects on entrenched businesses like retail payment and asset management.”

BitTorrent Client Devs Work on Bitcoin Integration

Posted on by

“The people behind FrostWire are working hard to implement Bitcoin support in their BitTorrent client. In addition to letting users donate to content creators and tracker owners from within the client, they are also integrating a Bitcoin wallet into the BitTorrent client. The FrostWire team hopes other clients will pick up the idea and have pitched a new standard to extend the BitTorrent protocol with Bitcoin meta-data.”

Kryptokit Launches as Dark Wallet’s Biggest Rival

Posted on by

“As a Chrome extension, the Kryptokit wallet is an open-source project. Users can create their bitcoin addresses by moving their mouse around the screen. This, along with a random number generator, creates each user’s address.  The system also has another tab, for secure messaging. This uses GPG (the open-source version of the Pretty Good Privacy protocol developed by Phil Zimmerman) to secure messages between its users.  The GPG key can be used to encrypt messages that are sent to other Kryptokit users. There are some key differences between Kryptokit and Dark Wallet. One feature that the Dark Wallet team is reportedly discussing is a trust-less mixing service.”

CyanogenMod Android firmware gains built-in SMS encryption

Posted on by

“Users of the CyanogenMod alternative Android firmware gained additional security on Monday, thanks to the integration of Open WhisperSystems’ TextSecure protocol.  Open WhisperSystems develops security software that can encrypt voice-over-IP (VoIP) telephone calls and SMS/MMS messages.  Android device owners can install the company’s TextSecure SMS security software by downloading it from the Google Play store. But the company announced on Monday that the CyanogenMod project is also shipping the technology baked into its firmwares by default, beginning with current nightly builds of version 10.2.”
