Great read, thanks 🙏
2018
isn't this outdate with the recent upgrades since then, Bulletproofs+ ?
Bulletproofs+ makes the RingCT proofs smaller, it doesn't change the fundamental flaws with decoy protocols as described in the talk
Senders are the only part of Monero that uses decoys. The only part that is obfuscation.
Amounts and recievers are completely hidden with zk and encryption and don't appear on chain at all. The transaction graph doesn't exist like it does with Bitcoin or Liquid.
Liquid: Alice sent $[?] to Bob
Monero: 6% chance Alice sent $[?] to [?]
And the upcoming Seraphis upgrade will replace sender privacy via ring sigs completely with full membership proofs.
by the way, are you the spacechains guy ?
no
k thanks, watching it now.
DASH's coinjoin is stronger than any other privacy solution besides Zerocash, its cheaper and much easier to use, and because DASH has instant transactions, you get fast, cheap private coins all the time with no history and an anonymity set of over 43 million (Zerocash's is 4.3 billion, but there's little difference at that scale).
Monero's anonymity set size for comparison is only 16. So it's much weaker than DASH.
Good analysis, and I mostly agree with the conclusion. Where I disagree is:
