TLDR

Here's a proof-of-concept wallet for Camo Nano. It's a command-line interface, and targeted towards more advanced users, though anyone can use it.

Use at your own risk, not professionally audited, you know the drill. For troubleshooting, when in doubt, refresh.

Context

3 months ago, I published a demo of what would become Camo Nano. Since then, I've reworked the entire prototype wallet, and now I think it's ready for a public release! The wallet is free and open source software.

Like most cryptocurrencies, Nano offers little in the way of privacy. With a normal Nano account, everyone can see its entire transaction history, including its current and past balances, who it has received coins from, and who it has sent coins to.

Camo accounts do not have a publically visible transaction history, allowing users to make private payments to each other. When using a camo account, no one except for you can know how many coins you've received, or from whom.

Camo Nano is based off of Monero's stealth addresses. For those wondering, the technical details of how Camo Nano works are similar to BIP 47. Documentation for Camo Nano can be found here. A Rust library for Camo Nano can be found here.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

What's Next?

I intend for Camo Nano to be integrated into an easy-to-use and hopefully mainstream wallet, so that the system can be used by everyone.

Unfortunately, I'm not a webdev, and am terrible at designing UIs. So within the next week or so, I will be announcing a 200 - 300 Nano bounty for anyone willing to do this. If you're interested, or would like to contribute to increasing the bounty, stay tuned.
