Bulletproofs are coming out soon.

Monero is King. Monero is what Bitcoin was always meant to be: private, untraceable, decentralized, and FUNGIBLE.

You should be accumulating.

monero's anonymity is nearly worthless. When you receive a payment you rely on other people to include your output in their mixins. You are lucky to get 4 in 2 days. Pathetic anonymity set.
It's only semi-popular on darknets because criminals are dumb and don't understand how shitty ring signatures are for anonymity.

Assume you're a drug seller and I'm a cop. I buy drugs from you for xmr.

Scenario 1:
You are a not very smart criminal and send xmr straight to an exchange almost immediately. The exchange is cooperating with me and I know all their deposit addresses. Each deposit address has a client id.

How it looks: there's one transaction with my output. It could be generated by you, or by someone else using it as one of 6 mixins. I see that it went to an exchange account #423. I do nothing.

I wait a week and buy drugs from you again. I again see that the monero I sent to you went to an exchange account #423. The probability that it happened randomly as a result of mixing inclusion is very low, so it's enough for me to get a warrant and get your full data from the exchange.

Scenario 2:
You're a bit smarter criminal and instead of selling directly, first send received monero into another address. Then you wait two days and send from that address to an exchange.
There are 8 possible ways my original payment could have went, if it was spent at all. I note that one payment went on a second hop into an exchange account #568.

I buy again, and again, I note that on a second hop one payment went to an exchange account #568. However as you used an indirect transaction I decide to wait for third confirmation.

I get it on third buy. I get a warrant etc and you get caught.

Monero is worthless for anonymity when you want to hide the destination from LEO who sent you money. Absolutely worthless.
It only sort-of works when you want to hide from the _receiver_ (eg. exchange) where you got xmr.

Yep, Monero is better than DASH (fancy coinjoin) but not that much better.

Why use Monero when you have working alternatives working right now, where you can hide among a giant anonymity set?

You’re first premise is predicated on using a kyc exchange to turn to btc? Why?
Secondly You don’t need to churn to a new address. Sending to yourself is the same as sending to a new address from an analysis standpoint.

You don't need kyc, ip addresses + browser fingerprinting are enough. Does shapeshift even work through tor today? I don't think so, but I'm not sure.
In any case, anonymous exchanges are getting killed as shapeshift is going to add kyc.
>Sending to yourself is the same as sending to a new address from an analysis standpoint.
That's literally the same, stealth addresses are a way to generate new addresses
>>11007770
Zcash has transparent and shielded addresses. Transparent are transparent as name implies
>>11007783
They're not monitoring your exchange addresses in particular, but all monero deposit addresses to connect repeated deposits to same exchange accounts.

if you want anonymity zcash's shielded transactions are the best choice.

I fully understand your point Anon, but have to disagree with you about the way you see Monero's privacy lacking.
Most criminals who deal about the internet are smart (not Silk road owner ofc). So your telling us the police would speculate on a certain amount in Deposits to catch the thief? Lol that's nonsense because in upside market trends there are thousands and thousands of tx's every day. How could you differentiate one tx from another ?

The good thing is that police officers or most of the detectives in Internet crime are often on the same level of dumbness than the thiefs who get caught the way you explain it . Kek.
Monero is like cash. You can also buy/sell IRL without anyone noticing.

well ok you can still be anonymous even with bitcoin. The point is an anonymous cryptocurrency should be anonymous by itself and not require combinations like these.
You don't need tor with shielded zcash transactions. The only thing to remember when used as a mixer is that amounts that are visible externally (to and from and shielded part) are information itself. Sending 153.234 ZEC - fee -> shielded -> 153.234 ZEC - fee*2 can be linked because of amount, so withdrawal should be divided into more transactions.
If all commerce was happening inside the shielded part that wouldn't be necessary.
>>11007915
>So your telling us the police would speculate on a certain amount in Deposits to catch the thief?
Not amount, output utxo. Trying to detect based on amounts is possible - always possible in fact - but not necessary and easier to hide just by changing the amount slightly.

Look at the image, it seems safe when you try to go backwards from Z to the beginning. But if you want to go from A to Z, it's trivial if you have several known inputs like A owned by one person - they all have the same exchange account in their graph as fake destinations are very unlikely to repeat.

I think you got it confused with cost of generating a transaction. Currently you need 3GB of ram for that which makes it impossible to have shielded transactions on smartphones.
Fortunately that's going to be fixed in the next hard fork

I've made a quick Dero research, and that's what I've found:

- Massive 10% premine. Unidentified single dev lied about it being locked. He alone controls everything, and can dump anytime.
- Never released code of changes made during some months, and released just the compiled binaries (aka closed source shit). There's a lack of move
- Implemented unaudited bulletproofs before the external reviews were finished
- Very few activity in Githib, and a gap from April to July without any commits (the period which it was closed source)
- ASIC mined CryptoNight v1 shit (like Electroneum and Sumo)
- 99% of network hash rate is at one single pool (miner.rocks)

GTFO with your pajeet coin. This shit is dead.

ASIC is futile no one want lost dev time to doing R&D about a new PoW ASIC-Resistant, even Eth dropped the idea about ProgPoW.

Only XMR team are still to dumb to figure out that with FPGA it will took only 3 day to update. any PoW hard-fork.
