Crypto Incognito client-side library.

Crypto Incognito client library
===============================

This library contains a client-side library accessing [Crypto Incognito](https://crypto-incognito.com/).

*Crypto Incognito* is a web service which **serves Bitcoin's UTXOs** (unspent transaction outputs) database.
The queries sent tou our servers are just an array of EC-ElGamal ciphertext of which
we does not know the private key (nor the public key).
Hence, you can **query your address to the database without revealing your Bitcoin address**,
and of course your amount of bitcoins you hold.

This service can be used as a back-end server for a Bitcoin wallet or a blockexplorer
which consider the users' privacy most important.

Users who own a significant amount of bitcoins are highly encouraged to use Crypto Incognito for your privacy, safety and security.
