This coin is brand new. Even if that post is 100% true we are in the infant stages of the coin. Progress will be what drives this coin. My target is roughly 200k.
Yeah, these are certainly infant stages of this coin. But devs said that anon was done. So why did developers launch anonymity feature if it clearly doesn't work (assuming this reddit post is 100% correct)? Did they at least test it? Did someone at least review their solution and concepts behind it?
The method outlined in that reddit post seems incorrect based upon my own test but it does sound like the wallet in question only had a single input to begin with.
In my case it spent the final amount in 3 completely separate random values in the first instance, these were spent from 3 completely separate inputs received by 3 completely separate wallet addresses on my client.
Is it possible to find where the coins came from by looking back in the blockchain and adding up smaller values trying to find the original wallet address(es)? I'd have to say, perhaps. But trying to figure this out will get much harder when there are a lot of transactions moving around.
One area of improvement the developers could look to undertake would be to create 3 separate deposit addresses for the account that the randomized values go to. That way there is no record of the 3 randomized values going to the exact same deposit address but they will still go to the exact same account.
