YMB Podcast E43: Anonymity Opposites and Broken Banking

To kick things off this week, we'll be chatting about two news bits from opposite sides of the anonymity spectrum. On the bad side: one crypto-exchange, Melotic, is now requiring users to submit identification information. On the good side: the team behind Dark Wallet has just released another alpha version of the privacy-centric Bitcoin wallet.

Then later in the show, we’ll discuss a European clearing house that recently crashed for several hours and the Kraken exchange, which will soon begin trying to replace MtGox in Japan. We’ve also decided to make this a YMB Feedback Week! If you have any thoughts on the show, send us a tweet, an email, or a comment on our website, YouMeAndBTC.com. Tune in for more details! Your hosts are Tim Baker, Daniel Brown, and John Stuart. Enjoy!
