From my understanding of Ospead, seraphis is not meant to fix it. The fix and problem itself has not even been released publicly, because it's so central to the way Monero was designed. That's kind of scary if you think about it. Nothing about bitcoin or its flaws are hidden.

FMP in xmr is a band aid solution because it is further closing a wound caused by monero ring sigs, continually increasing the size of rings. Maybe stiches is a better term. Its going to be great, but its playing catch up to a problem zcash does not have. (A default privacy z cash anyways)

Zk does not rely on full or partial rings to hide or create an anon set, so a dc zside is a different approach entirely. Since it has the entry and exit of bitcoin it would have all of bitcoin as an anonimity "crowd" to hide in, versus Monero much smaller one.

Ok, i appreciate your point about the slow adoption of DC.

Optimist like myself believe that unlike Liquid or Lightning, Drivechains are a much simpler ecosystem to deploy.

One op code gives you the ability to recreate free market conditions and innovation.

In other words, Liquid is like the Italian papal states. Lighting is Renaisance Europe. Very, litigious, very complicated and incompatible laws, custodial money in the case of Liquid.

They are not appropriate comparisons to what DC will do or can be simply because DC is early Capitalist America, compared to them. The hidden hand of the market is more powerful than Blockstream or the pet project of engineering Nerds.

The lack of demand for those two projects you mention are incomparble. Apples and oranges. Liquid requires multisig, trust. Lightning is a mess and has entirely different incentives and goals.

Appreciate the diologue
