Cryptocurrency Privacy: The Great Cat and Mouse Game Continues With Constant Pursuit

Cryptocurrencies have become very popular and alongside this trend, blockchain surveillance has also increased exponentially, and there are a lot more people snooping around publicized blockchain transactions. Companies like Chainalysis and Elliptic and many more organizations are monitoring public blockchain networks such as Bitcoin Core (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Bitcoin Cash (BCH). One developer has created a wallet that aims to help bitcoin transaction fungibility and make it harder for people to trace transactions.

Bob Wallet Adds Bitcoin Cash Support

The open source project Bob Wallet is a different type of wallet that doesn’t allow you to make payments to others as its only purpose is to allow the movement of funds from your public wallet to a private wallet in an isolated manner. The Bob Wallet project is currently in beta form and should only be used in Testnet for now until the software is thoroughly tested, explains the wallet developers. Last week on July 2nd the Bob Wallet programmers added bitcoin cash (BCH) support, so BCH users can use BCH Testnet coins and experiment with the mixing service. Users can visit the Bob Wallet website or drag and drop the ‘bobwallet.html’ into a browser to create a new Bob Wallet.

“Bob Wallet is not a traditional bitcoin wallet,” details the developer’s Github repository. “You cannot use it to make a payment to someone else. Its only purpose right now is to move your bitcoins from your public wallet to your private wallet securely without anyone knowing your private Wallet addresses.”
