I am pretty sure people who value anonymity would be willing to jump through hoops.

You entirely miss the point that if the n00bs think they are protected, then later are attacked or told they are not, they will run the government's coin and good riddence to that horrible mistake they made to trust.

Don't go fucking around. This is why i am a developer of mass adopted software and you are not.

There is a corollary to this. Adoption and usage is important for privacy. What good are ring signatures if there are too few folks in the rings. Tor had this issue, and it was one of the reasons cited for making it public rather than keeping it only US Navy.
...and so I would suggest that the fewer hoops the better.
Also each hoop is a potential tripping point where privacy can be lost.

TFM often expresses (expressed?) important points poorly. I get the impression that he thinks much faster than he types and being frustrated by that, takes it out on us, lol.

AM/TFM hates centralized everything. He'd rather if everything came from the bottom up. His bottom, supposedly.

In reply to a concerned citizen gentleman,

UBERcoin ANNouncement
Launching the latest and last cryptomoney

Total emission: 1337 coins.

Emmision schedule: 72 hours of UBERPoW special hashing function (using special FDIV instruction that makes it 100MHz proof). After that, switch to DERPoS, or Distributed Entropic Regenerative Proof of Stake, the final generation in PoS staking technology. Staking interest is pegged to a basket of ECB and BoJ refi rates, adjusting programmatically as a linear combination of the two.

Launch: to be decided by an hourly D20 roll, with LAUNCH if the dice never stops spinning on a corner.

Moar tech: state of the art ANONOSITY, ultrafast synking, fast blocks, BCI capable wallet "spend with the power of your mind", Web 9000.1 ready, smart contracts, smarter DAC management, super-Turing complete block chain.

JOIN THE REVOLUCION NAO!!

Perfection needs competition.
So I'm forking this, changing all the buzzwords to be future-proof with our interplanetary character set ISO/IEC 10646XXX, and basing launch on a d16 perpetual spin event in zero gravitas.

lol lberty if u thnk u cn jst CLONE prefection leik dat u must b rly butthurt yo rofl if ure so smarrt how cum u cant fgure it out that

ZERO GRAVITAS MEANS ZERO "WEIGTH"

You're catching on. Soon you may see the levity...

shutup n00b i lavitate like chriss angle

stop n00bings its patethic

My pathos is unbounded, weep for me.
