Re:80% of Monero Transactions Trivially De-Anonymized on Tuesday April 18, 2017 @12:50AM (#14136561)
I hope someone actually reads the original Monero Research Lab papers and sees that those papers briefly allude to there being a problem and dismiss it as being a theoretical problem when at the time of the report peoples drugs purchases could and can still be traced. This is an empirical analysis - the first of it's kind with a block explorer, the Monero people should be on their knees thanking the authors of the paper. Instead they are burying their heads in the sand, refusing to admit that they lied when they claimed back in 2015/16 that their currency was untraceable. I'm disgusted to see the flagrant doublethink in the comments here, most people haven't even bothered to read the paper or the MRL reports and are just spouting garbage they've heard via fluffyass.
