That's a centralized, for-profit company that is using clever cryptographic technology to obfuscate transactions. In twenty years, when NSA breaks ZK-SNARKS, everything anybody has ever done on their blockchain will be revealed. Every transaction ever made will be readable.

Dash uses a mixing technology to obfuscate transactions, rather than relying on cryptography to obscure them. Transactions are obfuscated instead by mixing the inputs, so that it will never be clear who made what transactions. We are future-proof. They are not. Maybe nobody ever breaks ZK-SNARKS, but if they do...

No you are not. Coinjoin (and derivatives like DarkSend) are like a giant sudoku game, certainly when barely used.

Oh good, a Monero troll that I forgot to block. Taking immediate corrective action.

Please feel free, by the way, to deanonymize an 8 round Darksend transaction any time you'd like. I'll be glad to provide you with a TX ID.

I see you are playing the shortsighted game again, where every Monero (perhaps even non-DASH) proponent is called a troll.

I am merely saying that most likely in the future, some (if not all) Coinjoin transactions get deanonymized (it gets more difficult with more activity on the chain). Bear in mind that governments have plenty of time. Therefore it is not certain you (perhaps any system) are (is) future proof, as you stated.
