I am still confused about this stealth address.
Is there any advantage of using an stealth address over his method?
Maybe convenience, if there is an easy client to handle stealth address?
I usually read stuff like this from
bitcoin.stackexchange.com ,and from what I have come across a reply that explains about stealth addresses in brief and a few things I noticed was:
- Stealth addresses don't necessarily provide 100% anonymity.
- The difference is that stealth address are based on providing unique addresses, other than manually providing different addresses.

As I said before, ByteCoin comes up with the concept. But in his concept, the sender could have the money back because both could compute the private key. CryptoNote paper comes up with a solution to this problem. Amir Taaki suggests address format and some use cases and only them Peter Todd make the introduction paper to Bitcoin.
