Today we released DarkWallet Alpha 5 version.

* Release notes: https://wiki.unsystem.net/index.php/DarkWallet/Alpha5 (A lot of details here)
* Download: https://github.com/darkwallet/darkwallet/releases/tag/0.5.0

The main features are bitid implementation and watch only pockets.

Bitid allows to login into a website by signing a nonce offered by the website and posting it to the website. This links the website user to a public key controlled by the user, in this case a bitcoin key where they key is held by the dark wallet. At the moment we sign doing a hardened derivation over the host name so we get a deterministic key for the user, different for every site.

We have made a module for mediawiki implementing bitid so it can be used against the darkwallet: https://github.com/sembrestels/mediawiki-bitid

Watch only pockets allows configuring custom pockets by linking a contact and adding different addresses to that contact.

Many more details in the detail notes above.

Enjoy!
