Why don’t we use his shitcoin powered xx network?

Idk what any of it is
Mixnets are the inevitable 'correct' design for proper anonymity, because the involve every participant's public behavior being functionally identical.
But in the real world they have never gotten any usage, and I don't think that's accidental.
AFAIR Chaum discovered the central concept behind mixnets (guy was literally a genius), so it's no surprise he focused on this design.
Chaum forked blind signatures and setup a centralized company to make his own ecash bank, called DigiCash, pre-Bitcoin
Bitcoin & LN allows us to now setup a new implementation, backed by satoshis.
xx is a mixnet over blockchain, not an ecash or payment system.
Apples and oranges
