If you have an unreversible mixer, congratulations. Bitcoin will almost certainly want to adopt it. However, it won't fix fungibility.

When you say that, are you referring to Bitcoin 3rd party development like Dark Wallet? Or the core dev team? I don't think the core dev team would ever implement that tech in to Bitcoin even if it was perfect.

Why would they not want to adopt it? We're talking about Bitcoin as in the open source beta phase project.

I would put the line at 100-1 that the current Bitcoin development team with it's current political situation would ever add such a thing to Bitcoin.

If it's possible for 3rd parties to add it then people will be all over that at light speed. But Gavin et al? I highly doubt that. But maybe I'm wrong. I wonder what everyone else thinks.

And this just highlights one of the most serious issues with Bitcoin as a project. Someone needs control over it but also the vote of the majority should certainly count. This is where Mike Hearns light house project may come into its own, not just funding the devs but breaking them away from the Bitcoin Foundation and also allowing people to show their support for features they would like to see.

You nailed it! And I can tell you The dedicated dev's and team of XC implemented and did what The Community asked. Big time
