Replying to kpr797

Let me see if I get what you're saying.

The Monero devs created a crypto tool to communicate anonymously with other Monero users. But the tool doesn't work properly. It's not actually anonymous. And they didn't announce this on the repository. So uninformed users may have been compromising their own privacy over the past 7 years by using the tool which been known to be broken all this time.

Is that correct?

Almost. The tool is a library, so I don't know what they did or intended to use it for but it can be used for that.

It doesn't look like a very popular repository (not very many stars). For that reason alone I think people should be skeptical of its robustness for highly important use cases (such as protecting your privacy) until doing some due diligence first to ensure it can deliver.
