Re: [ANN] Ethereum: Welcome to the Beginning

Vitalik just posted in /r/ethereum -- Ethereum just implemented anon-tx's!

Absolutely fabulous. Now we can have the greatness of anon coins such as Dash and Monero into a single decentralized platform. This is really good news. If Ethereum could keep up with this, we will be able to see it go to the moon! Time to buy some more. Cheesy

Single platforms are not "absolutely fabulous." They are single points of failure and should be avoided in favor of resilient heterogeneous ecosystems.

This feature is more like Dash than Monero, because the (ad hoc) anonymization is not done to all coins at the protocol level.

TIL there exist XMR bagholders in ETH.

Any update on Vitalik's implementation of anon-tx's? Did ETH ever "have the greatness of anon coins such as Dash and Monero into a single decentralized platform"?

BTW battbot, I've never owned ETH. Despite my high(est) esteem for nszabo, ETH always seemed at best a Science Project or at worst a smoldering gasoline pipleline waiting to explode all over stupid & greedy looters.

Oh wait, battbot's last post was rage-quitting over some buggy ASIC driver last Sept. I guess we know whose blood flowing in the streets over the holidays, LOL.
