Maybe. Every time I've asked about it I've just had CashShuffle shoved at me. CashShuffle isn't fungibility. It's decentralized mixing. Nothing special about it.
I'd consider it 'good enough', protocol layer fungibility would make global adoption too difficult imo
Two of these criticisms assume low volume, which liquidity bots and better wallet integration fixes. You can do arbitrary amounts when the pool you shuffle with is large.
the difference is that it's trustless, which makes it viable for automatic integration into your wallet software. drawbacks aren't really an issue in that case
Uh, drawbacks are drawbacks. CashShuffle is less functional than a traditional mixer with no improvement in fungibility and obfuscation. Trustless doesn't make those issues go away.
I'd argue it does, by automatically shuffling your wallet we will have really big pools and the same amount of BCH issue wouldn't be problematic either if enough people participate
Completely agree. I imagine pools with hundreds of shufflers, and many users running bots to automatically shuffle UTXOs in the background. All with zero trust in a third party.
Bottom line is CashShuffle is not sufficient for fungibility and obfuscation in my opinion. Traditional mixers like coinmix.to are far more flexible and practical for the layman.
If you need to shuffle EXACTLY 0.10 BCH and don't mind waiting hours, encountering bugs with alpha software i suppose it's fine. To me, it's only less crappy than LN.
the drawbacks sound annoying when you are doing shuffling as an explicit action, but they are irrelevant if your wallet does it in the background without your participation
Automatic shuffling isn't implemented in CashShuffle. It all is done manually in the plugin tab in Electron Cash. Aside from fixed amounts, high minimums etc. there are numerous issues
it can be added as a plugin is what is my point. the layman wouldn't have to understand anything, as it can be fully automated, which is only possible because it is trustless
