Aihe: Re: [unSYSTEM] DarkWallet Complexity explosion
we are making stealth addresses and coinjoin which brings anonymity to
bitcoin. the source code is open and we make lots of documentation for
any questions people have: https://wiki.unsystem.net/
we are trying to foster a development community rather than creating a
company hiring developers (although i would love to have devs paid for
work, and we are seeking to provide open spaces for people - not just devs).
