Privacy Model

Verified against: current Monero-derived transaction implementation in Core a71c0eb2…, Qwertycoin mainnet, 2026-09-29.

Qwertycoin transactions use CryptoNote/Monero-derived mechanisms including one-time addresses, ring signatures, confidential amounts, and stealth address derivation. These mechanisms reduce direct on-chain linkage between sender, recipient, and amount.

They do not make all metadata invisible:

• P2P peers can observe network connections and relay timing.

• A remote daemon learns the requesting IP unless a separate network-privacy layer is used and may observe wallet query patterns.

• Wallet RPC operators can access the loaded wallet and transaction metadata; keep wallet RPC private and authenticated.

• Exchanges and counterparties know their own deposit/withdrawal records.

• Transaction size, fee, block placement, and public EPoSE records remain observable.

Avoid absolute “anonymous” claims. Privacy depends on current protocol rules, correct wallet behavior, network configuration, and user behavior.

Remote nodes

A remote node validates and relays chain data but is not entrusted with spend keys. It can still observe requests and provide delayed or selective data. Prefer a synchronized local node for stronger availability and metadata privacy.

Seeds and view-only wallets

Mnemonic seeds and private spend keys control funds. Private view keys reveal incoming activity. View-only wallets cannot spend, but they are sensitive. Restoring historical key material does not recreate legacy-chain balances on current mainnet.
