Better, since as I demonstrated, Whirpool was completely buggy, and Ashigaru also has serious privacy issues.
Discussion
Well we will have to agree to disagree. If you only use BIP 47 then you're privacy is increased massively. Knots sounds, on the surface, like a good ideavbut in reality is a tool for censorship. Which in reality is easily bypassed. Miners will do anything for money and as it is the miners that discover the blocks, all knots will do is produce broken nodes. What percentage are they at now, 15%? If the miners don't run it, its dead in the water and I'm not going to slag of it's designer, who "lost" all his btc to a hacker and asked the world how????
Let's see, up until version 25 of Core, the filters worked fine, version 25 broke them, and going back to version 24 is censorship?
That argument doesn't hold water. Before version 25, we all agreed on what spam was.
Knots is simply a form of protest and a wake-up call to core developers.
what privacy issues does ashigaru have?
