Hey all, i just released v0.1.0 of Coinmux (followed quickly by 0.1.1 to fix a couple of minor UI issues) which is my milestone for having things functional on Testnet.  I'm ready to move on to building a GUI to sit on top of the code already there and make it easier to use.

But before I do that, I want to try it out on the Bitcoin MAINNET and with some STRANGERS on the Internet!  I've never done either!

I'm hoping a couple of you are brave enough to try it with me.  I want to do a small CoinJoin transaction, 0.001 BTC (a little less than 1USD) .  To get a suitable wallet, I simply went to bitaddress.org, created a new wallet for the CoinJoin input, and then sent 0.0015 BTC to it from my main wallet (a little extra for miner fees).  Any address with a balance > 0.0015 will work, but I would not recommend using your primary wallet.  There shouldn't be any issues, but better to be safe than sorry.

If you are interested, there is a link to download the latest Java client here: https://github.com/michaelgpearce/coinmux.  To use the Mainnet Bitcoin network instead of Testnet, you'll simply need to set an environment variable COINMUX_ENV=production.  On a Unixy OS, you should be able to just type this command in the terminal/console where you run the Java command.  On Windows, i believe you use the SET command, but its been years since i've used Windows.

I'm on Freenode IRC at #coinmux via webchat: https://webchat.freenode.net.  Hopefully one or two people will come find me.

Thanks!!
