I've never seen BCX make any claims which he can't back up so then that would mean we are back to square one with no coins offering real anon tech.

And I'm not surprised - to be anonymous on the Internet is impossible in my mind given the government has taken many steps to acquire [software and hardware] back-doors.  But anon is a nice gimmick which can take a coin's price very high until the next cool gimmick comes along.

The most anonymous thing we have ever had is cash and it looks like everyone is so eager to kill it in favor of Satoshi's wonder bits.  Haha!
