>Fuck. If I understand this correctly then those black marble transactions could be used to de-anonymize any future transactions where the ring is comprised of enough black marbles?

Not that dire. The age distribution of decoy outputs used in Monero transactions tends to be left-skewed, meaning that most decoy TXOs are relatively new. The decoy selection algo is somewhat arbitrary but the tendency is to choose newer outputs over older ones, typically within a 36 hour window.

This pattern is consistent with spend analysis on transparent blockchains, which suggests that recently-generated outputs are more likely to be spent than older ones. In other words, the usefulness of this attack is diminishing with every passing second.

When in doubt, just churn a couple of times at random or stick to DEXs, should be a non-issue now that Haveno and Serai are on the horizon.
