address-less zc transactions are much more than plain zerocoin; THAT is the ghost protocol

please DYOR

sorry the protocol isnt zerocoin? two way ghosting is new but the operation relies on zerocoin soooo.....

assume you did not read the commitment key packs paper.... if you are saying pedersen commitments is zerocoin, you have no idea what any of this actually is. Pedersen commitments are a type of commitment scheme which is used to create addressless transactions. They use the pedersen commitments cryptography to allow for borderless zerocoin deposits. that itself is a seperate protocol from zerocoin, and can be used for any protocol. commitment key packs are not tied to zerocoin, it can use any type of cryptographic privacy. commitment key packs just creates an addressless transaction layer that in nix's case uses zerocoin to facilitate the transaction. for example, commitment key packs can use zerocash protocol or CT/ring ct, it doesnt matter in that regard. they are seperate protocols. dyor, read the paper, and make sound arguments.
what you are saying is like saying cryptocurrency IS blockchain tech, when actually, cryptocurrency uses blockchain as one of many tools to achieve its goal. Sure crypto uses blockchain, but it can also use hashgraphs and other similar data structures.

ooooohhhh bringing out the newbie accounts, lol to afraid to use your original account thats ok i did my research to the extent needed. I can tell you this is a zerocoin protocol coin which uses the commitment key pack to make addressless tx's. So tell me again how this isnt zerocoin. we need to make zerocoin's in the ghost vault first before we can send addressless tx's ya?

I really don't think you understand any of this stuff... Undecided

maybe ask some questions on what you are not understanding. If other cryptographic protocols are added, you think it doesnt matter and the privacy added is zerocoin? That sounds pretty silly, if you do not understand the reason for piecing the ghost protocol the way it is layered, then you do not understand the project. Cannot really help you there. Your logic is this: NIX's privacy offered is zerocoin, if it adds commitment key packs, or bullet proofs or anything else that compliments other protocols it uses, it is still zerocoin...
