With most crypto services demanding KYCs and identity verifications, it is understandable why some users are looking for an anonymous Bitcoin wallet.
Our list for today has various options from which you can choose your own anonymous Bitcoin wallet in that you can privately and securely keep your BTC funds.
Samourai Wallet
Samourai is a privacy-focused Bitcoin wallet, which employs various technologies to keep your identity and transactions anonymous.
In order to maintain your anonymity, Samourai uses Ricochet and Stonewall technologies. Ricochet is an on/off toggle that prevents transactions from being flagged as suspicious, even if they are blacklisted by Blockchain surveillance algorithms.
Stonewall modifies transactions in order to prevent them from leaving any public associated metadata, increasing the difficulty of linking inputs to outputs of a transaction, making clustering wallet addresses, and generating higher entropy than standard Bitcoin transactions. This makes your transactions harder to analyze and track down to the original sender.
Samourai Wallet also features offline functionality, which enables you to send coins to the relevant recipient through SMS or a mesh network.
The encryption standard the wallet uses is AES-256 and has no server communication. It is protected by PIN code and has a seed phrase backup for key recovery.
Samourai also has alerts if you have used the same address before, preventing unintentional address reuse. It supports the routing of all transactions through Tor and VPN enabled, which allows you to use an anonymous IP address.
The wallet features SegWit support that reduces the BTC transaction fees when broadcasting them over the network. It is also compatible with mobile devices working on Android and Windows, Mac, Linux desktop operating systems. Due to its anonymity features, Samourai is the best anonymous Bitcoin wallet that you can find.
