Let TX PUSHER push your TX to the mempool.

Secure, private, and plausibly deniable

Cross-platform Bitcoin brainwallet

Introduction:

This project, Brainbow is built on top of nowallet, a project which was discontinued before it was completed.s

The adopted nowallet sources have been completely reworked and adapted.

What is Brainbow?

Brainbow is a secure Bitcoin brainwallet app, a Bitcoin wallet also known as Bitcoin Client, that will ultimately be meant for desktop and mobile platforms.

It was inspired by reports of incidents of Bitcoin being seized physically at border crossings.

People need an option for a brainwallet that is secure and easy to use.

It's written in Python and depends on the pycoin and Coinkite's connectrum libraries.

It uses Electrum servers on the back end, and communicates exclusively over Tor.

It uses a variant of the 'WarpWallet' technique, combining PBKDF2 and scrypt with a salt for key derivation, rather than the typical, highly insecure SHA256(passphrase) method that your average brainwallet uses.

Here's a basic explanation of the benefits of using the WarpWallet technique:

Quoted from https://keybase.io/warp/:

"WarpWallet is a deterministic bitcoin address generator. You never have to save or store your private key anywhere. Just pick a really good password and never use it for anything else.

This is not an original idea. bitaddress.org's brainwallet is our inspiration.

WarpWallet adds two improvements: (1) WarpWallet uses scrypt to make address generation both memory and time-intensive. And (2) you can "salt" your passphrase with your email address. Though salting is optional, we recommend it. Any attacker of WarpWallet addresses would have to target you individually, rather than netting you in a wider, generic sweep. And your email is trivial to remember, so why not?"

(Note: Salting is not optional in our case.)

Details:

Basically, you get a secure brainwallet in a convenient app (now with SegWit address support) and only need to remember an email address/password combination rather than an entire 12/24 word seed. People are typically more accustomed to remembering a normal set of login info, which will protect users from forgetting or misremembering part of their seed and losing coins forever.

We have also implemented a full HD wallet compatible with BIP32/44. The current working title is Nowallet, as in, "I'm sorry officer, I have no wallet!" We are currently in a pre-alpha state. All testers must be able to install dependencies and run from the simple command line interface.
