Even if encrypted with a symmetric key on the client, you'll need to reverse engineer the client. Packers and obfuscators can make your life very hard indeed. However I'm sure there's a way to did it with perfect foward secrecy (or at least an reasonable amount). >additional constraints in the form of money spent for transactions You don't need to pay for a c&c server any more, that's money saved. >increased complexity on the implant and so on and so forth. Sure >In fact, I can't think of a single good reason why this would make a practical malware comm protocol. How about completely anonymous, no c&c server to take down, and cannot be killed without killing Bitcoin with it?
