The JoinMarket development team is excited to announce the release of JoinMarket 0.9.9, a significant update to the leading Bitcoin privacy tool. This version introduces critical improvements to onion messaging and CoinJoin transaction stability, ensuring a smoother and more secure experience for users.
What is joinmarket?
JoinMarket is an open-source Bitcoin privacy tool that enables users to enhance their anonymity by utilizing the CoinJoin protocol. CoinJoin combines multiple users' transactions into a single transaction, making it difficult for outside parties to trace individual payments. JoinMarket stands out by offering a decentralized way for users to participate in these transactions, earning fees by providing liquidity to others who wish to mix their coins. It’s a powerful platform for both privacy-conscious individuals and those looking to help others maintain their financial privacy.
Joinmarket's New Updates
One of the key updates addresses onion messaging issues, enhancing the reliability of Tor-based communications, which are essential for protecting user anonymity. Previous challenges with connectivity drops and delayed message relay have been resolved, allowing for more seamless CoinJoin operations. Additionally, the enhanced integration of Tor bolsters user privacy by better safeguarding sensitive information.
The latest version also includes bug fixes and security patches, reinforcing JoinMarket’s commitment to offering a safe, reliable platform for Bitcoin users seeking greater privacy.
