Hyper-Anonymising Bitcoin Service 'Dark Wallet' Launches Today
The alpha version of Dark Wallet - the hyper-anonymising bitcoin wallet - goes live today. Created by Amir Taaki and Cody Wilson, Dark Wallet provides new tools for financial privacy, including in-built coin mixing and 'stealth' wallet addresses. As well as making it easier for people to disguise their transactions from the government, Dark Wallet is also a torpedo aimed at those in the bitcoin community who have embraced co-operation with regulators. Conceived last year and partly funded by $50,000 raised on Indiegogo, the wallet was developed by unSystem, a collective of anarchist....

As secure client-side bitcoin wallet Dark Wallet looks set to reach its funding goal, a competitor has emerged - and is already shipping.

May Day, May Day, it's about to get dark. Dark Wallet (Alpha), the bitcoin wallet software that uses the power of encryption and technology of CoinJoin, came out today.

I took my questions to computer security expert, Kristov Atlas, author of Anonymous Bitcoin, to see what he thought. "You've....
