Calling BS...

This is NOT stealth at all based on the irc.cpp : https://github.com/JohnnyXCash/XCash/blob/master/src/irc.cpp#L315
Connects via IRC, and I now have 92 IPs of people that use this coin.
If it was easy for me to do it, then it is easy for anyone.

As such I highly recommend that people do not use this coin as you have an impression that it is anon, when it clearly is not.

How do you know it is their actual IP address?
Some look Tor-ish or behind a proxy, however most have their ISP IP such as the following (just a subset)
hsd1.fl.comcast.net
dynamic.ziggo.nl
kabel-deutschland.de
lv.lv.cox.net

Also if it's even possible to pair it to clients.

If you have a node connected to enough peers you can track what peer relayed a transaction to you. Given a large enough amount of data, you can get pretty accurate with it.
There was a whitepaper published about that but I'd have to find the pdf again.

I call BS on your elite code review. Why?
Because XCASH does not use IRC. This is legacy un-used code!

Go home troll!

P.S. What does anon tx have todo with the IP of a wallet anyway? If I want to hide my IP I use a VPN or TOR.
If you want the proof, go onto lfnet and join #sdcoin00 (the channel that is in the source.)
