Pure idiocy.
Receiver:
1. Giving someone your address is not a leak, it's.. wait for it.. giving them your address.
2. Just another way of restating the same point.
3. There is a relationship, but can you derive the original address from the stealth address? no? then stfu
4. The sender knowing how much the receiver gets, since .. the sender sent it ... is not a leak.
Sender:
1. Transactions don't "leak" one of the sender's inputs, this is how ring signatures work. It's also not 1 in 16 as people commonly think, since you cannot be sure that the ring member in question has not been used (countless times) as a decoy before. Yes, there are statistical correlations that can be inferred nevertheless, which is why, wait for it, FCMP+ will fix this.
2. Restatement of the above.
Amount Privacy
1. Fees are pretty much standardized these days and this is not a big deal.
2. A restatement of a restatement, irrelevant.
UX Hurdles
1. ...... yeah, that's the purpose of a view key. Also, it's an unfounded assertion that "many monero users" do this. Lightning users use a lot more custodial wallets than Monero users share view keys. So yeah, whatever.
2. This is not a Monero problem, this is nostr:nprofile1qqszrqlfgavys8g0zf8mmy79dn92ghn723wwawx49py0nqjn7jtmjagpz4mhxue69uhkummnw3ezummcw3ezuer9wchszyrhwden5te0dehhxarj9ekk7mf0qy88wumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmv9uynmh4h being obtuse, either deliberately or because he simply does not know better. Worried about leaking your IP to a server YOU CONNECTED TO OVER TCP? Use Tor or I2P like a normal person and be done with it. Also, dandelion has nothing to do with wallet RPC connections (demonstrating ignorance), so dandelion is not "bypassed" - it is simply out of scope.
3. Complete misundertanding of how dandelion works (even what it is). Dandelion is in scope on the side of monerod, the remote node, not the user's wallet - therefore, talking about wallets using dandelion is just nonsense.
4. Again, nothing to do with Monero. If you give an unique identifier in two different contexts to two different entities, who then one day collude and realize that you patronized them both, this is not an issue with Monero (who safeguards user privacy onchain), it's a problem between the keyboard and the chair.
5. Yeah, if your contact changes contact, your saved contact is no longer valid. No shit, sherlock.

At this point I'm not sure if nostr:nprofile1qqszrqlfgavys8g0zf8mmy79dn92ghn723wwawx49py0nqjn7jtmjagpz4mhxue69uhkummnw3ezummcw3ezuer9wchszyrhwden5te0dehhxarj9ekk7mf0qy88wumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmv9uynmh4h is a bad actor or just plainly retarded.
#monero goes on.
