The typical reaction to this is nah, you choose tax or anonymity, not both. Well, that's it, it can be done.
1.) they all missed the first question: what's your threat model? "anonymity" has been used to describe a transparent web proxy and a datagram overlay protocol, and everything in between. 2.) "It is straight forward to move on from secp256k1 to other" this is actually not trivial! downgrade attacks are a real threat vector, seamless key migration technically challenging, deprecating legacy cipher suites in decentralized systems a significant challenge... 3.) " The system is locked to work over IPv4 exclusively for one reason. Scarcity. IPv4 i used to control the number of nodes behind an address and thus control sibyl attack. This is the only anonymity-issue I have AFAIK and dont really know how solve with IPv6 or onion." thoughts: - exposing IPv4 betrays anonymity (without additional protections) - IPv4 addresses are a very poor sybil defense. - IPv6 ORCHID addresses (non-routable virtual addrs) via Tor overlay would be a significant improvement! E.g. https://www.onioncat.org/ - "This is the only anonymity issue" is not reassuring when this issue is a fatal flaw! Also, "Q: anonymous taxation? lolwut" - hah ref: http://otheravu4v6pitvw.onion/downloads/misc/answers_to_questions.txt best regards,
