Oblox, what's your agenda?
You know full well that Privacy Mode is a Rev 2 thing, that XC's doing XChat now, and that we'll be finishing off Privacy Mode with the final Rev 2 update LATER.
So why do you persist with this?
For heaven's sake.
OK, so if privacy mode is not supposed to be working until Rev 2...what is Oblox saying Dan was going to help him with?

Rev 2 was released on 7/7/14. Dan's using Oblox to try identify whatever bug (or human error) is the culprit there.
However Rev will only be finalised (that is, all features completed and bugs sorted out) at the final Rev 2 update which is yet to come.
So Privacy Mode is working already. Just not for our insistent friend Oblox.
And this is to be expected before XC moves on from Rev 2 to Rev 2.5.
Dan's seen both my router's ports open and my firewall exceptions to not only the program but also ports specific to the program. Correct me if I am wrong, but didn't you say it doesn't work for you either due to being on a university network? Regardless, it doesn't work for everyone and whether all the bugs are suppose to be out by 2.5 or 3.0, it should still be something to focus attention on for mass adoption. Hell, if it doesn't work on university networks, a large portion of the demographic (18-35) interested in crypto could have issues.
If it was human error, then it should have been something extremely easy to fix on any number of the remote sessions Dan and I had. The end result is private transfers do not go out to the network/nodes but regular incoming/outgoing is fine. Whether it does nothing due to having it set as unlock for staking only and entering passphrase on sends or unlocking completely before initiating and getting the error 101, it doesn't work. Dan said it definitely shouldn't be doing the 101 error.
To truly say it's working should mean works for everyone. 99% is not 100%, especially as more and more users are downloading wallets and wanting to try out features. Any regular Joe should be able to download the wallet and send anon transfers and that simply isn't the case in its current state.
