BitBuddy

Full description with image available here

Goals:

This Bitcoin wallet serves to help paranoid users of Coinbase wallets.

Privacy freak

  • Problem:

    Bobby used an online auction site to sell a product. Buyer agreed to pay with Bitcoin, so Bobby needs to send his wallet. However, if Bobby sends the buyer his usual wallet, the buyer will be able to see all transactions in the future using the public ledger.

    Bobby wants to Bitcoin money into his regular wallet but stay anonymous

  • Solution:

    With BitBuddy Bobby can generate a new wallet which will redirect all incoming payments to his regular wallet

Fat finger variant

  • Problem

    Copy-pasting wallets from one screen to the next is error prone.

    Jane would rather select a name from her contact book to send Bitcoin to her friends

Trust but verify

  • Problem

    Before adding a trusted contact, the wallet verifies that there is activity associated with the wallet. If the blockchain doesn't return any result, consider sending a test transaction before sending any significant amount

    When adding a new contact, verify that the wallet is 'active'
