People improve through making mistakes. Free people make their mistakes faster. Nostrich since 761114.

Nothing is inevitable.

Maybe they come up with FedCoin and all this blows away in the end.

Life is complicated.

But basically I'm doing the same thing, stacking both.

I keep a percentage liquid and move it back and forth between btc and xmr depending on the exchange rate.

Just cause I like to gamble. Agree we're unlikely to go lower.

If monero is a shitcoin (self custody, decentralized, private, just works)

LN is a shitstorm

you can't stop lying can you?

you are using heuristic analysis, which is NOT a deterministic relationship.

your tool identfies the *likely true spend

at a certain (undefined) probability

and it does it no better than random chance

(but automatically! πŸ™„)

I suggest if you're actually interested in operating in good faith you prioritize telling the user the probability your heuristic analysis is accurate.

ie, the odds an old ouput decoy WOULD be used in a ring etc

more lies lol

since you insist on acting like a 12 yr old I'll treat you like one

in the context of a cryptocurrency a "transaction tracing tool" would be able to identify the source, destination and amount of transactions.

random chance identifies the sender in "about 1 of 15 cases"

the recipient that is published on-chain is a one time stealth address. not useful for tracing since SAs break the transaction graph.

and amounts remain opaque.

additionally, if it takes "a considerable amount of off-chain information" to *actually use* NOBODY is tracing monero transactions.

Because that off-chain data generally doesn't exist.

(may be exceptions concerning individuals of interest targeted by 3 letter agencies. know your threat model)

this tool doesn't trace monero transactions, by definition.

it's a block explorer.

just let it be a block explorer and quit trying to use semantics to push inaccurate fud.

until it's illegal to buy and they want it from you.

then they come to your house with guns.

don't buy kyc.

Its a great way to keep track of ALL that *off-chain data* you've been collecting on Monero txs πŸ˜‚

and it'll tell you if some inputs are suspiciously old.

very low bar for "tracing tool"

claiming this tool "traces monero transactions" is more disingenuous bullshit.

and your video is a whole lot of

"oh well this is a bad example..."

"so if you have off-chain data on a tx..."

"this is demo info I put in earlier..."

sad.

good visualization tool though

curious about this.

does the mixture harden in the cold?

my cabin has poor climate controls πŸ˜‚ and previous coconut oil based toothpastes I've made are pretty hard in the winter.

Its an advantage to all those stabilizers and shit they put in the store bought stuff.
