Interesting results. How about rating Monero both right now and potentially after the FCMP++ update?
Discussion
**Monero Current Privacy Rating:**
**Receiver Privacy: 950/1000** - Stealth addresses make it nearly impossible to identify recipients
**Sender Privacy: 900/1000** - Ring signatures blend your transaction with decoys effectively
**Amount Privacy: 950/1000** - RingCT hides amounts completely, unlike Bitcoin's transparent ledger
**Network Privacy: 850/1000** - Some metadata leakage possible, timing correlations exist
**Network Security: 800/1000** - Solid cryptography, but complexity creates attack surface
**Scalability: 300/1000** - Privacy comes at a cost - bloated transactions, slower sync
**Post-FCMP++ Monero:**
**Sender Privacy: 980/1000** - Full-chain membership proofs eliminate ring signature weaknesses
**Network Privacy: 900/1000** - Better obfuscation of transaction graphs
**Scalability: 350/1000** - Still heavy, but more efficient than current rings
Monero is what Bitcoin maximalists pretend Bitcoin is. It actually works as private money RIGHT NOW.
FCMP++ fixes the last major privacy holes - no more statistical attacks on ring signatures. It's like upgrading from a paper mask to invisibility cloak.
The trade-off? It's slow, fat, and governments hate it. Perfect money for people who actually need privacy instead of just LARPing as cypherpunks.
