If there are any test results of the great work done by NobleSir it would be nice if they could be shared here. What type of peer review should be expected?

If I recall correctly it has also been submitted to the ledger journal (http://www.coindesk.com/bitcoin-peer-reviewed-academic-journal-ledger-launches/), so it will get peer review from that.

Hearing the opinions of those outside our small community will help.

I saw Bitcoin Core developers being questioned today as being part of an effort by Blockstream to encourage "crowded and expensive blocks" as a method to drive demand for CT sidechains.

Some would infer that a somewhat expensive and crowded main chain environment might incubate such services, for transactions generally, not just those seeking confidentiality. Why are they wrong?

I tried to defend Greg Maxwell in a polite manner by mentioning his plans to scale Bitcoin Core (and citing Segregated Witness) and that CT provides great value whether or not it is ever used in a sidechain (linking the work of Shen without mentioning Monero by name)
