Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion
Not that BTC needs any reason to dip but this is as good as any.

Mimblewimbles privacy is fundamentally flawed. Using only $60/week of AWS spend, I was able to uncover the exact addresses of senders and recipients for 96% Grin transactions in real time.
The problem is inherent to Mimblewimble, and I dont believe theres a way to fix it. This means Mimblewimble should no longer be considered a viable alternative to Zcash or Monero when it comes to privacy.

Good thing that Mimblewimble and BTC are not the same thing. In other words, fuck that shit coin.
Mimblewimble is a protocol it could have been used to create private sidechains.
Well first of all I own NO Grin or other MW coin. The only alt i DO own in any sigificance is Monero, so there's the disclaimer...
But how many times have we heard about a cryptocurrency being toast? I tend to take these things with a grain of salt. On the other hand MW is a very experimental tech, and we should not be suprised when this sort of thing fails.
But why would this relative unknown coin be a reason for BTC to dip?
(one more thing... I am always amazed anyone would give any creedence to Zcash at all... the founders reward is reason #1 to shun it, and opt in privacy is not really privacy).

Just the fact it is a Trusted setup makes it a no go, Zcrap is proof people do not do any due diligence whatsoever.
I started to report the posts of THX1138 - since there seems to be a pattern of a ban evasion going on here. Banned members should not be able to go through other members to post responses here, which would cause THX1138 and anyone else who engages in such conduct to be attempting to evade a ban.
It's not that important (I don't care if thats how he wants it to be[he could easily get back by following the simple ass rules]), I just don't want to hear it so the ignore works for me but then when i get attributed his words in a fucked up quote I want that shit fixed.
The resizing did the trick.
Now back to trying to find out where the hell i was in this thread!
