A group of coders has launched a Bitcoin wallet that will make it more difficult to trace transactions using the digital currency. <\/p>\n
Dark Wallet is a browser app for bitcoin payments that uses both encryption and CoinJoin technology. <\/p>\n
CoinJoin essentially mixes multiple bitcoin transactions, selected at random, as one transfer of funds and conceals the original payers. <\/p>\n
A similar technology called Shared Coin was implemented last November in the Bitcoin wallet on Blockchain.info. The site says the feature allows users to route transactions through a shared wallet breaking the chain of transactions. <\/p>\n
However, Dark Wallet offers anonymous transactions by default. <\/p>\n

The political orientation of Dark Wallets backers unSystem attracted attention to the app when it was launched on the Indiegogo crowdfunding website, where it raised more than $52,000 last December. <\/p>\n
Bitcoin is the next battle ground in the fight against supranational political domination, wrote the backers, including Cody Wilson, known for creating the worlds first 3D-printed gun. <\/p>\n
On Twitter, Wilson retweeted a link to a Wired article in which he is quoted as saying about Dark Wallet: Its just money laundering software. <\/p>\n
Wilson was not immediately available for comment. <\/p>\n
