Titan is not "fully anonymous" it is just stealth addresses, which an automated way of not reusing addresses. Every transaction is fully traceable, just like Bitcoin.

How are they traceable?

There is no ambiguity as to source or destination at all. If you send me a coin I can see where that coin came from and where it came from before that. Likewise if I send you a coin I can see when and where you spent. If I've ever dealt with those people (or do in the future) I will likely see the relevant connections as coins are combined and change is returned. If I happen to be a large economic actor such as an exchange, payment processor, etc. I may well have dealt with a huge number of participants and be able to identify many of them.

I'm pretty sure there is a thread on bitsharestalk or whatever your forum is called where bytemaster explains this and acknowledges that TITAN isn't really intended as a full anonymity solution but more of user-friendly incremental improvement over reused addresses. I've seen that thread before but I couldn't find it just now.

You are right:

Yes that's exactly the one I remember. Good job finding it.
