Which crypto is truly anonymous?
None. Will never exist. That is if you mean truly anonymous from the NSA.
Your question should be which offers the highest amount of anonymity mixing. The answer is Zerocash.
Exactly. There may not be a truly anonymous currency against the NSA, but at least I can keep my privacy from the rest of the world.
I'm not so sure about the 'will never exist' meme scare tactic.
Fully traceable transactions are an invention of the 20th and 21st centuries, and even less than 15% of that time has more than a few percent that are even fully traceable.
Won't exist for a generation is fine to hold as an opinion, but won't exist ever seems a little out of touch.
I think he refers that there will never exist an anonymous cryptocurrency since the NSA will always figure out a way to get around it and spy on you. Just take a look of what happened with the Tor exploit lately. Speaking of which, I hope that new
Selfrando feature on Tor will help make it more anonymous.
