It has been noted that those shilling only one particular cryptocurrency
over all others (Maxi's) tend to gloss over its own weaknesses.
Monero-XMR has a huge army of retarded drug addicted fanbois
shilling XMR privacy without knowing a clue about what its actual
technical capabilities and weaknesses may or may not be.

Cash Fusion and Cash Shuffle (commonly noted with BCH but
applicable to other coins, such as CoinJoin JoinMarket with BTC)
are also heavily shilled in similar manner by similar low quality
crowds... interesting protocols, but probably not exactly
quite ready to be staking lives on them as claimed by some.

And most comparative "reviews" of privacy coins to date
are a joke as far as in depth academic analysis goes.

Simply put, many coin privacy technologies suffer from all of
too few, too early, or too low quality statistical and cryptographic analysis
to be making the claims their crowds are making about them.


A privacy coin leveraging both some cryptographic and statistical
privacy elements/tools could be interesting, were either alone
thought to be weak or early in the maturity cycle.

While the tools were developed for the use of the DHS to track stolen
or illegally used funds, CipherTrace suggests that crypto exchanges,
trading desks, and investment funds will also benefit from knowing
that they aren’t accepting tainted funds.

Censorship of all that which cannot be publicly proven to be "good",
"approved", and "politically correct" uses and sources, that's these
"suggestions", the intended rollout of these colored-coin regimes.
And clearly reason why impenetrable privacy coins are needed.
Amazing they are not yet sniffing all $hundos for cocaine, booty
sweat DNA, and fully tracking the serial numbers with ID at every
transaction point. No worries, that's coming next soon.



And here we see CipherTrace CEO Dave Jevans outright lying
about what privacy is, and exposing his twisted activism against
privacy among GovCorp, in Media, shilling weak tech as sound, etc...

Although today’s announcement would seem to be a blow against Monero
and the promise of privacy coins, CipherTrace paints it as a positive
for the future of XMR—particularly given that it has been delisted
from some exchanges.
"Analytics is crucial to the survival of privacy coins because, if
they cannot evaluate risks, some governments could make transacting
with privacy coins extremely difficult or ban them outright, like
Japan,” said CipherTrace CEO Dave Jevans, in a statement provided by
the company.
“Several Korean Exchanges delisted privacy coins and, just last week,
several Australian exchanges banned Monero and Zcash. As privacy
advocates ourselves, our hope is that by developing capabilities for
tracing Monero, we can help to ensure Monero's viability."
