Monero is basically CoinJoining all the time, plus hiding amounts.
Yes, but instead of CoinJoining, which creates economic problems (as it requires coordinators and other users to be online at that time), it utilizes
ring signatures, and to avoid revealing the amounts,
ring confidentiality. It also makes use of
stealth addresses, which have a point because of the other two.
But it would be great to discuss in a dedicated thread.
We need a thread that will be technical enough to fit the Dev & Tech board, but not altcoin enough to be moved to the Altcoin Discussion (AKA, the forum's graveyard).
I finally created said thread today. A big work in progress, but I hope for it to become a nice resource over time.
