the problem with monero is that it breaks domain boundaries by shifting the handling of dissociation and pattern-avoidance into a complex cryptography on chain instead of just fixing the way that wallets construct transactions

i'm pretty sure, if Satoshi were to tell us one new thing about what we are doing wrong with bitcoin it would be the construction of transactions

chain analysis is only easy because the default setting is minimal tx size which is minimal security

it is very simple to design a scheme to scatter and dissociate UTXOs so they are not possible to associate to anything

this is the reason for KYC, at all, is to try and pin IP addresses and persons to UTXOs

this would not be practical without this dumb, cheap way of making transactions

i enable coin control on my bitcoin node and when i do transactions i try to delink them but my stupid bank does onchain tx through a single address, over and over

i haven't reused that address in about 4 months now, because i think this is patently retarded, so i now only move sats to my xapo bank by using lightning, and they made it possible to deposit with lightning so the moment that happened i stopped using onchain, i'm not stupid

my pay goes into a fresh segwit address every month, and that goes to my lightning node, and the channels it fills are private channels and the bank doesn't literally even know if it's me sending the coins to it, that's just a guess

shifting privacy onto the chain is a tradeoff that you haven't really thought through

many good arguments to say that if it isn't both SoV and MoE it can't improve on what we have as to fiat vs PMs/Real Estate

but moneros think that privacy is all that matters and pay no attention to the onerous complexity they added to the protocol to achieve that

and i've thought through the matter of proof of work and concluded that the most valuable PoW coin inevitably gets the most miners and thus has the highest security, and therefore with SoV (onchain) and MoE (lightning) and strong security (SHA256) it's what everyone converges on, and that's not gonna change, and all those freaks coding monero stuff should think about helping us build better security into UTXO handling in bitcoin wallets, or, you know, GTFO

"ShiShi is using ad hominem he's not being nice to me"

No I'm not, it's the truth uncovered by your own statement - this is a meritocratic gauntlet & you're too weak.

"how do you operate privately on a transparent ledger"

This is how you know you're not up to the task to debate this topic.

Go home midwit.

Literally everything you said is wrong and parroted - you didn't even deny that you're just a mouthpiece.

If you're worried about the contents of a transaction being obfuscated you've already lost the privacy battle.

If everything is public it's easier to hide in plain sight while being able to selectively reveal yourself without sacrificing the ideals of a shared public ledger.

You monero dimwits like to deflect on all these topics by making silly memes & forcing people to read your parroted messages - doesn't matter how many influencers you gargle it won't change the fact no one wants to be poor with you.

If you think I'm deflecting so be it - but I also can't very easily make up the shortcomings where you can't parse out the truth of what I wrote.

I'll still reply more thoroughly in a bit 🤝

Everything you said here is wrong.

Stop parroting others just because it sounds good.

If you actually needed privacy of transactions in your life you'd just use cash.

If you operated digitally - you'd just use Bitcoins bought in a way that doesn't identify you.

Monero or not you need to be worried about your IP address & you're better off with liquidity and hiding in plain sight with Bitcoins.

There's no benefit to be had you're fooling yourself.
