Re: Has Dashpay given up on privacy?

First Masternode blinding was seemingly abandoned

Next Evan makes it clear that adding protocol level privacy is not a focus of Dashpay "Evolution"

Now Dashpay leaders are trying to convince Masternode owners (easy since Evan and Otoh own enough coins to pass any Masternode vote proposal they wish) to pay for a KYC program to help DOXX Dashpay atm users.

Has Dashpay given up on privacy?

If they remove their DarkSend/PrivateSend, then yes. Otherwise, they have a lot of pipe dreams, perhaps biting off more than they can chew.

Regarding Masternode Blinding, it does appear that it wasn't implimented. I haven't heard about it in a long while.

Dash Evolution development has barely begun and it runs two tiers above the "protocol" -- the protocol in view here is the Bitcoin Wire Protocol, the P2P aspect that sends messages such as "getdata", "block" and others for communication between nodes to keep all the nodes synced up as far as the blockchain is concerned. Evolution will run in its own decentralized layer, or so it is claimed. So privacy on the protocol level, even DarkSend/PrivateSend doesn't necessarily mean anything for Evolution.

It will be interesting to see what comes out of all this. My main interest is their code and it is fun to figure out how it all works internally.
