Personally I'm very interested on someone's technical analysis of the anon tech in XC. I mean Darkcoin is constantly criticised  due to it's technical failings over the past few months. But the lack of criticism of XC leads me to believe that it's might fall in to one of these two categories:

1) That the anon tech is actually solid.

or

2) That the distribution and such was so bad that people don't even think it's worth analysing the tech and thus we don't actually know whether it works well or not.
I have tried looking at the source code (https://github.com/atcsecure/X11COIN.git) and could not see anything related to anon tech. There is also only a single commit, so maybe this is the wrong place. Do you know where I can find the current code?

If there is no code available, I propose:

3) No code available, so nobody with a mind will care about the coin and no analysis will be done.

To explain: Binary analysis is bothersome work to perform. I do not see a way of profiting by doing this work, so it is unlikely to be done. Without source, it is impossible to trust the coin or developer.

Hi, here is the REV 1 trusted mixer implementation source code. The coin now has multi-path trustless mixing (still not open source though) and every wallet is a potential node.

I would really like to see some opinions on the code as I am not a coder myself. Undecided
