You are far from someone who is unbiased, as you are one of the main people from Monero arent you?
How about addressing the substance of my comments instead trying to dismiss them by way of association. I'm not trying to hide my affiliation with the Monero project (tacotime too above BTW), but it doesn't answer the question.
Smooth, I don't think you are going to give the idea of anonymous transactions ON THE CHAIN is something that people need to take a second look at.
I'm not sure I understood that. If you are asking whether it could be rethought, my answer would be absolutely.
If you are saying that "I have come to the conclusion" and then later add "I could be wrong" and make baseless claims about "most respected and talented developers" without any kind of source for that statement, you are throwing FUD.
My opinion is that there is no way to "come to the conclusion" without actually doing the work to build out systems and see if they hold up. That is what we are doing.
