Code as a Weapon: Amir Taaki Wants You to Join the Real Crypto Revolution

There are many words that could be used to describe Amir Taaki – but today, ambitious is best.

The infamous bitcoin developer – known for co-creating Dark Wallet, Darkleaks and OpenBazaar – took the stage during a hackathon he hosted in the wake of the Privacy Enhancing Technologies Symposium (PETS) in Barcelona last week, the same city where he plans to set up his academy of coders, hackers and…

The Death of Secrets

“Over the long run, nothing is secret.”

This quote comes from Jack Legare, the hero of my thriller in progress. He was talking about Wall Street. He could have been discussing “DarkLeaks.”

Huh?

I first learned about DarkLeaks through Hacker News. Think of it as a 24/7 auction for secrets that could belong to anyone or anything.

Darkleaks Will Open Pandora’s Box, Will The World Ever Be The Same?

19 February 2015 | Traderman | btcfeed.net

A new service by the name of Darkleaks, promises to build an anonymous black market, where any kind of information is for sale. Darkleaks is built to function on top of bitcoin’s blockchain, facilitating an exchange medium where the buyer and seller do not have any kind of communication. The platform works by allowing randomly chosen encrypted chunks of the illicit file, along with Bitcoin payment addresses, to be put on display for potential buyers to verify. Once the buyer verifies the files match the claims of the leaker, Bitcoins can be transferred to the leaker’s Bitcoin address, due to the nature of the Bitcoin system, for the leaker to claim their Bitcoin, the leaker must release the decryption key which unlocks the encrypted file for the buyer. This trustless trading mechanism creates an environment free of intervention.

Darkleaks, masterminded by members of crypto-anarchist collective unSystem, will let users sell leaked data in an anonymous, trustless environment powered by bitcoin’s blockchain.

Amir Taaki, the project’s systems developer, told CoinDesk that platforms like this provide a financial incentive for insiders to reveal information in the public interest, thereby “devaluing business models based around proprietary secrecy”.
