Is it possible that we could all do something very different to most threads in this forum and just remove the price predictions. I think its dangerous to be speaking about it, i know its a financial tool but i really see it as misleading and always takes the topic to a really bad place. Opening up really bad conversations its like religion and politics they should stay out of these threads too. Its about the tech and i think this tech changes to often to be predicting prices and misleading people to "buy because its cheap" I'ts all a testing ground and i think we can leave the price predictions and usually totally unrealistic expectations to their own specific threads (sdc price speculation) Please, i encourage everyone to discuss it in irc or a specific thread thanks I believe the markets are at exchanges and not in this thread!.

Devs might not even use zk-snarks to achieve a 100% anonymous transactions.

All i know is their 100% anonymous transactions implementation will be out shortly with specs for investors and technically inclined onlookers to feast on and their current papers they have chose to implement are indeed doable and applicable.

To be honest though and in my own opinion the Shadow tech may take a few different forms in the future in its endeavors to become completely lightweight and scalable leaving not tracebacks. Or it may not, that all resides in funding usually. Also innovators cannot live on air alone and will need some sort of cash injection at some stage if they are to really focus on this project and implement all they have come across during the research phases. i'm certainly not speaking for them but only giving my personal opinion with regards to the most logical process
