As Eduffield has previously posted, the way all coins work now (except the ones that run transactions through established cloaking services) if anyone knows your number, they can see where you spend your coin, like having an open checking account, that shows anyone interested, where you spend your money.  I'm a private person, but don't do anything that illegal, I just want my privacy period.  That's why I like this coin!  I really wish I could buy some!!  It'd be the only coin I'd buy after researching everything I have this past month or so, LOL.  I'm a super newb to this myself.  no money though    LOL
