README

**A note about coinjoin.io:** coinjoin dot io is a scam. Not in an exaggerated
or metaphorical sense. I mean that it will simply take your money and not
return it.

**This repo has nothing to do with that site. I have nothing to do with that site.
If you are victimized by it there is nothing that I can do for you.**

The same applies to coinjoin.cash, unlockingblockchainafrica.io, and **any website
claiming to be associated with this repo**. This repo is not a website.

BUILDING
============

Install rustc and the openssl libs (no EC, Fedora is fine).
Then just type
  make


USAGE
===============

STEP ONE
========
All parties who want to coinjoin create a raw transaction using
createrawtransaction. They submit these to one individual, who enters
them into CoinJoiner by running

  ./coinjoin-merge-unsigned

Then just copy/paste the transactions in, one on each line, followed
by a blank line. The output will be an unsigned merged transaction. If
there were any signatures in the original transactions, these are
stripped since they would now be invalid.


STEP TWO
========
This merged transaction is distributed to the original parties, who
each sign it. Then they send these back to the individual running
CoinJoiner, who merges them by running

  ./coinjoin-merge-signed

Then just copy/paste the signed transactions in, one on each line,
followed by a blank line. The output will be a merged, signed
transaction that can be submitted to the bitcoin network. Further, the
order of the inputs and outputs in this transaction is randomized.
