Noether's Gate

Noether's Gate - cryptocurrency transactions over Bitmessage network

WTF

Basically Bitmessage is P2P trustless, metadata free network where any message sent to the network is broadcasted to every node - it uses code from bitcoin. Every node will try to decrypt every passing message with all private keys, if sucessful, the message is for you.

What I have done is, that I created a listening script on a BM address which will decrypt a message and send it to multiple remote Monero nodes. It is basically transaction proxy on a steroids as the BM network is metadata free where hundreds of nodes are just reposting messages.

script.py is what I run on a server, nothing that should be used when you want to just send the transaction.

Steps

1. Start your local monero-wallet-cli:

./monero-wallet-rpc --rpc-bind-port 16969 --rpc-bind-ip 127.0.0.1 --rpc-login username:password --wallet-file desktop_wallet --prompt-for-password

2. Create raw transaction WITHOUT broadcasting it to a network.
   Wallet API could change in the future, what is really IMPORTANT is to set do_not_relay and get_tx_hex flags, otherwise your node will broadcast transaction to a network.

curl -u username:password --digest -s -S -X POST http://127.0.0.1:16969/json_rpc \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d \
'{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": "0",
  "method": "transfer",
  "params": {
    "destinations": [{
      "amount": 10000000000,
      "address": "45dZruKBeAFcBkoFckTTonJPDUDFcPkUMdSebg2YTE8mTaBbhnv9DWwR9DYvfqKXjn8M49XpTcLw8c5mZ457etvuP8e9DDC"
    }],
    "priority": 0,
    "get_tx_key": true,
    "do_not_relay": true,
    "get_tx_hex": true
  }
}'

2. Send raw transaction hex string to a Bitmessage relay address.
   Just pass the raw tx_blob value string from the previous step to the Bitmessage message body and send it to the BM address:

BM-2cVrx5dDYQJR5hDmnEKiA25pqJtQmAwxzg

How it works

Bitmessage daemon will trigger transaction relay script defined in the apinotifypath configuration option every time new message is received.
Script will iterate through the new messages and if there is a raw transaction, it will try to forward it to the appropriate currency network.

Only XMR transactions are currently supported, but adding another currencies is trivial.

Donate

Want to try Noether's Gate? Send me some donation, so I can pay for the server costs.
You can test the Gate by sending XMR to a donation address:

address:  
45dZruKBeAFcBkoFckTTonJPDUDFcPkUMdSebg2YTE8mTaBbhnv9DWwR9DYvfqKXjn8M49XpTcLw8c5mZ457etvuP8e9DDC

I will probably use my own Monero node in the future.
