yeah thats the gov's only play with privacy coins.
Optional privacy, while the Monero community hates the idea, might just be the "good enough" solution we are looking for with BCH. But it must be protocol-level.
the issue is every private tx on an optional privacy chain is treated as suspicious. if you have nothing to hide you have nothing to fear line of reasoning. agree must be protocol lvl.
Definitely, but my hope is that you can move your coins off exchanges and then do private transactions using that optional protocol.
I think it's way too late for BCH to adopt a non-transparent blockchain, even if that's what everyone wanted, which it isn't.
And tbh, anything better than mixers at this point, is better than sticking with the status quo of mixers and blockchain analysis cat-mouse.
mixers are definitely a hack solution.
my worry too. but I'm so far from understanding the math that makes all this work so idk maybe its possible? 🤔
You'd definitely need a hard fork. And everyone would have to agree on it. Which isn't the case. Some prefer the transparent blockchain, as it supposedly make gov accountable.
People prefer transparent blockchains for that, and because tracability makes crime fighting and business auditing easier. But all of this is at the expense of privacy, and freedom.
biz & crime sound like reasonable requests, but like you said at the expense of privacy/freedom. thanks for the points. couldnt see why any one would want transparent chains
hmm, using it to keep gov accountable sounds like a ring of power argument. aka some power we can wield to keep gov in check when in reality it will be turned against the general pop
I can come to terms with optional privacy with coins like nano that couldn't support it and remain feeless due to data restrictions, but I have a harder time accepting it with BCH
At this point, I'm welcoming of anything that's bare minimum more sophisticated than mixers. CashShuffle not counting, being a mixer itself.
