Open Bitcoin Privacy Project Spring 2015 Report

We're produced the first in what we hope to be a long series of reviews of Bitcoin wallet privacy features, available here:

http://www.openbitcoinprivacyproject.org/2015/05/spring-2015-wallet-privacy-rating-report/

https://github.com/OpenBitcoinPrivacyProject/wallet-ratings/raw/master/2015-1/OBPP%20Bitcoin%20Wallet%20Privacy%20Rating%20Report%20-%20Spring%202015.pdf

Specifically from the readers of this list, we are very interested in feedback regarding our privacy threat model and the rating criteria we derive from it.

Threat model: https://github.com/OpenBitcoinPrivacyProject/wallet-ratings/blob/master/2015-1/threat%20model.wiki

Please send any suggestions or corrections via a GitHub issue to the wallet-ratings repository so that we can incorporate it into future reports.

Replying to the list because this is a common question.

We rated as many wallets as we could based on the amount of manpower we had available to perform the ratings.

We will be holding a recruiting drive shortly to solicit additional volunteers so that we can cover more wallet for the next round of ratings.

Hi Justus

Is there a reason why Bitcoin-Core and Breadwallet (iOS) is missing?

Thanks — </Jonas>
