Samourai Wallet Features

A premium transaction that improves fungibility and frustrates Blockchain spies<h4>Thousands of legitimate transactions are flagged as suspicious every day</h4>Bitcoin Banks and Exchanges freeze funds and suspend users based on blacklists published by Blockchain spies.<figure class="image"><img src="https://samouraiwallet.com/strapi/uploads/aml_report_8d2a0ee715.png" alt="Introducing Ricochet" srcset="https://samouraiwallet.com/strapi/uploads/thumbnail_aml_report_8d2a0ee715.png 245w,https://samouraiwallet.com/strapi/uploads/small_aml_report_8d2a0ee715.png 500w,https://samouraiwallet.com/strapi/uploads/medium_aml_report_8d2a0ee715.png 750w,https://samouraiwallet.com/strapi/uploads/large_aml_report_8d2a0ee715.png 1000w," sizes="100vw" width="1000px"></figure> Blockchain spies look at the history of your coins around 5 hops deep. Your coins can be frozen for their past activity. Even if they weren't in your control.<h4>Ricochet adds 4 additional hops to a transaction</h4>By adding additional hops before the coins reach their final destination, the blockchain spies would need to look 10 hops backwards, increasing their costs and overheads.<h4>Not a silver bullet but a handy weapon</h4>Ricochet doesn't solve the problem of blacklists but it does present a way to attack the way spies build black lists.Hop 0 - The setupThe wallet collects the needed inputs and calculates the total miners fee for the entire ricochet. 0.001 BTC is sent to Samourai as a fee for the ricochet send. In this transaction we are sendingHop 1-4Each hop transaction contains one input and one outputFinal DestinationThe final transaction containing the correct amount. One input and one output. &nbsp;

Introducing Ricochet

stealthily send and receive bitcoin with a publicly shareable code

<h2>Add a contact's payment code to send them bitcoin anonymously</h2>Find contacts with a public payment code&nbsp; We've made it easier to find your contacts and friends who have a payment code with our public directory. Simply search for your contacts by email, twitter, facebook, or reddit and add their code to your wallet.<h2>Add public codes to your wallet</h2>A broadcast transaction will be sent to the blockchain that creates a unique 1-1 connection between both your wallet and the contact's wallet. This private connection allows you to deterministically generate bitcoin addresses for the contact that are only known to you both.<img src="https://samouraiwallet.com/strapi/uploads/sendpaymentcode_81f12e892d.gif" alt="sendpaymentcode.gif" srcset="https://samouraiwallet.com/strapi/uploads/thumbnail_sendpaymentcode_81f12e892d.gif 78w,https://samouraiwallet.com/strapi/uploads/small_sendpaymentcode_81f12e892d.gif 251w,https://samouraiwallet.com/strapi/uploads/medium_sendpaymentcode_81f12e892d.gif 377w,https://samouraiwallet.com/strapi/uploads/large_sendpaymentcode_81f12e892d.gif 502w," sizes="100vw" width="502px"><h3>Simple private sending</h3>Once the broadcast transaction has one confirmation simply tap the contact to immediately and privately send Bitcoin directly to that wallet.<img src="https://samouraiwallet.com/strapi/uploads/mypaymentcode_f6a3f051a9.png" alt="mypaymentcode" srcset="https://samouraiwallet.com/strapi/uploads/thumbnail_mypaymentcode_f6a3f051a9.png 78w,https://samouraiwallet.com/strapi/uploads/small_mypaymentcode_f6a3f051a9.png 251w,https://samouraiwallet.com/strapi/uploads/medium_mypaymentcode_f6a3f051a9.png 377w,https://samouraiwallet.com/strapi/uploads/large_mypaymentcode_f6a3f051a9.png 502w," sizes="100vw" width="502px"><h4>Share your payment code publicly without privacy loss.</h4>Share your codeYour payment code is unique to the wallet and never changes.

Introducing Public Payment Codes

Feature:<ul><li>Full Offline Mode</li></ul>Samourai works under any network conditions. This is an attractive option for those interested in creating ultra secure cold storage systems, as well as those under hostile or cost prohibitive network conditions.<ul><li>Segregated Witness</li></ul>Segregated Witness is a recent upgrade to the bitcoin network that helps keep miner fees as low as possible when transacting. Samourai Wallet was among the first to support SegWit, allowing users to create efficient transactions that keep miner fees as low as possible.<ul><li>Taproot</li></ul>Taproot is a recent upgrade to the bitcoin network that improves bitcoin for multisignature and layer 2 protocols. Samourai supports sending to these new address types.<ul><li>Smart Miner Fees</li></ul>Miner fees are the cost of doing business on the bitcoin blockchain. They are an incentive for the miner to add your transaction to a block, as well as a mechanism to prevent spam. Samourai Wallet has the best in class miner fee estimation to help make sure your transactions confirm quickly without you overpaying.<ul><li>Dojo</li></ul>Unless you run your own full node, you are trusting someone at some point. Until now it has been difficult to run your own full node and still enjoy the convenience of a mobile wallet. Dojo changes everything.<ul><li>STONEWALL</li></ul>Most bitcoin wallets leave a trail of meta-data that blockchain surveillance firms use to deanonymize you. STONEWALL helps guard against address clustering deanonymization attacks.<ul><li>PayNym</li></ul>When you share a normal address publicly, you are giving surveillance firms a starting point to track you. PayNyms defend against this type of "First Touch" attack by never revealing an address to anyone other than the sender and recipient of the transaction.<ul><li>Batch Spending</li></ul>Batching is a way of composing a single transaction that contains many unrelated transactions. This can be advantageous when miner fees are high and you have multiple transactions to make at a given time.<ul><li>Scrambled PIN</li></ul>PIN access screen is randomized on every load and doesn't provide visual feedback, to thwart screen recording spyware and other common attacks.<ul><li>Stealth Mode</li></ul>Stealth Mode removes Samourai from the launcher and home screen of your Android device. To reveal the wallet just dial a secret code.<ul><li>Ricochet</li></ul>Toggle Ricochet when sending to a third party exchange or service such as Coinbase, Gemini, ShapeShift, or Localbitcoins to significantly reduce the risk of unjustified account closure by these services.<ul><li>Whirlpool</li></ul>When you cycle your coins in the Whirlpool you are breaking the link between inputs and outputs of your bitcoin transactions. Cycle all your Bitcoin for the most privacy.<h3>About Samourai</h3>We are privacy activists who have dedicated our lives to creating the software that Silicon Valley will never build, the regulators will never allow, and the VC's will never invest in.
