Unfortunately CoinJoin is jammable otherwise we could get on chain anonymity without a fork of Bitcoin's protocol.
I've not yet had a need for externally assisted anonymity. Perhaps someday I will.
The governments haven't really started confiscating yet but they are planning to[1][2].
Also let's not forget UDP and FTP came before adoption of TCP/IP and HTTP respectively.
I think that merely serves to strengthen my point. These relatively ancient protocols are still in widespread use, no?
My mea culpa upthread was to acknowledge that Bitcoin has virtues and will continue.
I am not positing a total annihilation of Bitcoin by an anonymous protocol coin. Rather in this poll I am asking if there is
interest in such experimentation.
