Create hidden identities that cannot be seen in the list

[genjix]

If I use my wallet on a public machine with other people, there should be a way to have identities but unseen in the UI.

It's not perfect against analysis, and in the future you could even use plausible deniability, but it's better than all identities being publically viewable.

+1. I heard one of you guys mentioning the idea before, plausible deniability would be a great step forward.

Just my thoughts - the definition of "wallets" and "identities" should be cleared up first. I see both used. Are they the same? Or is an identity a collection of wallets? (For now, I see the former as true.)

And any ideas how to toggle hidden identities? Maybe do it the TrueCrypt-way, having it embedded into another identity and you have to give a different password to access it?

I think there is merit to the Truecrypt method.

Prerequisites:

1. There needs to be a way to password protect logging in to the identities. (maybe Password protected identities can't auto login.
2. In the encrypted wallet data, encrypt the first half of the file with one password, then the second half of the file with a second password.
3. Depending on the password used, the wallet will decrypt to half gibberish, half real data. The half with real data shall have all data necessary to use the wallet.

One Problem: Being able to discern a hidden identity and a normal one by the filesize. Possible solution: Make hidden identities be barebones that can't save more than a certain number of contacts or some other method to lower data usage for the hidden wallet. Or bloat normal wallets with dummy data to make all wallets the same size.

@genjix, please could you add this account (https://github.com/caedesvvv2) to the darkwallet repo temporarily (with write access). I've lost access to the other one and need to sort that out with github support.

@genjix, ASAP to above.

[caedesvvv]

careful, caedesvvv2 above is an attacker of some sort

[hoffmabc]

We have this idiot too.

[ghost]

@hoffmabc, yes you do.

[leafcutterant]

@caedesvvv2 if you were real, you would know how to get in touch with genjix (not through a git issue ticket)... I wouldn't be surprised if you were associated with forces responsible for the community raids in Spain.

[hoffmabc]

Just get the accounts banned by GitHub staff as you see them.
