May not answer all your questions, but from what I have gathered, the current implementation is mixer based off a masternode. Revision 2 will utilize decentralized nodes in the sense that any wallet can act as an xnode and will utilize a separate protocal which can be run over TOR. Would be cool if android wallets supported xnode functionality, though just being able to stake will be nice.
Thanks.. so from this q&A it seems the current implementation is basically a centralized mixer server/node implementation. Which makes sense to me.. and how i can see this being closed source.
Basically somewhat like what you can already do with any coin by sending coins to exchanges, and then sending it from exchanges -> another address.
I think decentralization may be quite the challenge to implement... I'll look back if this actually achieves implementation and code posted for it.. that would be interesting to see.
Anonymity
1. Q) What does 'Xnode' mean? Any details?*
- Xnode is the s/w that runs the anonimizer.
- Xnode talks with client and provides TX details.
2. Q) What is next? Do you have a set schedule?
- Next is to continue development on the decentralized anonymous solution. Current schedule is 3-4 weeks.
3. Q) Why v0.9.1.4x11-coin-1.0 is an anonymous wallet even if the 'Anonymous Transactions' are under development?
- You can use the feature now but is not multi-path paradigm technology that is what is being developed.
