I liked this thread until the last two pages.
What about Bytecoin? Does it not meet the requirements of most "known" anonymous coins?
Went dead for a year, but extremely active development in 2015 and extremely impressive feature list.
Second-highest market cap of Any anonymous coin (other than Dash).
Doesn't count as anonymous because 80%+ of the utxoset is owned by entities who mined them before it became public and global, which means that those entities can deanonymise pretty much all future transactions.
Marketcap is irrelevant as it's easily inflated (doubly so when all you have to do is slightly bump the price due to the massive amount that's already emitted).
Are you guys all high or something?
In crypto you have to work in worst case scenario, exspecial if anonymity is involved.
The Darkcoin/Dash 2 million dev mine is a blockchain fact and equals to 2000 masternodes.
Masternode payments so far acound for almost 600 created masternodes from masternods makes the devmine worth 2.6 million to date.
Masternodes makes Dash supposing anonymous.
I have no idea how many total masternodes exist, lets just say 3000.
So 2600 of 3000 is 86.66% of the mixing is done by instamined coins.
Thats not even worst case as no other whale is taken into consideration to be in cahoots, nor coins purchased or mined after the first day.
Even if only 51% of the premined coins provide the masternodes it is a mathematical certainty that over time 90% or more of the mixing is done by the premined coins as they ever generate more than all others together.
As it stands tomorrow 1.38 of the total 1.6 masternode payment adds to the early coins.
lol calling bytecoin not anon it has better fundamentals to start with, superior tech and ever better mixing percentages.
Calling Dash anonymous is a insult to intelligence.Well, it's a good thing you won't be insulted then.
