Strange, that you (or anyone else for that matter) didn't say anything when Anonymint made the same claim in XMR thread. Are you suggesting that Anonymint should also "read up on how Cryptonote Ring Signatures work"? - What?? Why do you continue to blatantly lie? I told Anonymint, that worrying about being NSA-Proof, should come later, after I2P is implemented.
Lie about what? Anonymint said in the XMR thread, that CN transactions can be Sybil attacked, so that you'd be mixing mostly with adversary's own generated transactions. And now you are saying that's not true. Where is the lie?
Yes, NSA can do that. So why go through all that trouble creating a new crypto coin from scratch if even then your anonymity won't be NSA proof? You're not making any sense. THERE ARE NO CRYPTOCOINS that is NSA proof, Bitcoin is not NSA-proof. If you want NSA-Proof, get out of crypto. That's going to come, but there are (let me repeat) NO coins that are NSA proof as of right now.
Yes, exactly! So, what's the reason to start a totally new coin with totally new issues when even that won't help you to get NSA proof anonymity anyway?
Twice as big, with 1/100th of transactions. And, incase you didn't notice, I said "mainstream adoption". One of the XMR devs already explained that this is because a lot of transactions are "emtpy", go read up on previous posts in this thread while I find the quote.
And another XMR dev corrected him. So maybe it's you who should go read up on previous posts:

If all blocks were empty and the average block size was 350 bytes, that amounts to just 500 kb a day from blocks. If it were 2 min block time, that's 250 kb. That's not a big difference, and I don't think much to worry about.
I stand corrected. Many blocks are empty but they are small so they don't add too much to blockchain size growth. Though they do add to sync time, and processing latency (both being amortized over a tiny average number of transactions per block).
It's obvious that everything, every made up "flaw" you've found, has been answered and has a solution. Now you resort to lies, just like BrilliantRocket did.
No, they haven't been answered, and no, they don't have a solution. Where are my "lies" again? And btw, huge bold fonts just make you seem tilted.
Ok so the only flaw you've found for Cryptonote, is non- NSA proof, which every coin including Bitcoin also has that flaw, and Blockchain bloat, which is only twice as big as Bitcoin's, I've grown tired of simply reposting what has already been said, 1,000,000 times. Point in Case: Darkcoin's Masternode system offers extremely trivial anonymity compared to Cryptonotes. Darkcoin relies on Masternodes to mix coins to make them "untraceable". If all the Masternodes were bought up/DDOSed/taken offline, Darkcoin's "anonymity" would be completely destroyed. (It only costs around 500k to buy up all Darkcoin's Masternodes, and it costs way less to DDOS them
) Darkcoin's 50% instamine by it's own developer team is also horrendous, and it's name will always be drug-affiliated and stop it from ever going Mainstream.There. You posted 1 "flaw" for cryptonote, where its not NSA-Proof, but neither is any other cryptocoin including Bitcoin..
And you posted where Cryptonotes Bloating is bad, but it's only twice as Big as Bitcoin's, and can be reduced 50%-70% as shown by Crypto_Zoidberg.
I've posted 4 huge flaws for Darkcoin, where it's anonymity is trivial coinjoin, it's Masterodes can always be hacked,taken off-line, DDOSed, and centralized, where it's 50% instamine by it's own developers is horrendous, and how it's name, Darkcoin, will never gain mainstream adoptance and will always be affiliated with Drugs. There.
What do you have to say now??
