How is it private and untraceable, when sumokoind outputs all node IPs? Same mistake was made by PIVX, which is now being critisized for storing IPs in logs.
It's not too late to address this issue.
I am not a dev but here goes my explanation based on my very limited knowledge ( I bet a dev will give the right explanation later )
The two coins cannot be compared because PIVX runs on masternodes, while sumokoin being a fork of monero runs on a network of equal nodes. There might be 100 sumokoin nodes but a million users. This doesnt mean that you can trace transactions.
Maybe this will help you

(Decentralized: All Monero nodes are equal. There is no superclass of nodes which have more influence or control over transactions than other nodes. No person or entity can trace transactions by owning multiple nodes. Additionally, there is no trusted setup. This means that the need to trust a person or entity is not a factor. The only things that need to be trusted are the source code (which can be verified by anyone) and math.)
