How do mixing services work? What are CoinJoin transactions? How much could they improve privacy or anonymity in Bitcoin?
CORRECTION: At the start of the video, I say that Gregory Maxwell invented CoinJoin. While Maxwell did 'coin' the term, the mechanism of CoinJoin was discussed early on by others:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=12751.msg315793#msg315793At 05:46, I mentioned 'Ricochet' as a coin mixing service. This is incorrect. Ricochet adds extra hops to your transaction (
https://www.samouraiwallet.com/ricochet). I was thinking of Whirlpool, which is a ZeroLink implementation by Samourai Wallet (
https://github.com/Samourai-Wallet/Whirlpool).
These questions are from the MOOC 9.4 session which took place on March 9th, 2018. Andreas is a teaching fellow with the University of Nicosia. The first course in their Master of Science in Digital Currency degree, DFIN-511: Introduction to Digital Currencies, is offered for free as an open enrollment MOOC course to anyone interested in learning about the fundamental principles.
