not really a good result isnt it Undecided

Does not look like you have read the entire paper, just went for a graph at then end.
There is multitude solutions presented to combat these, some of them, like mixing via more rounds, are already implemented in the coin.

to the contrary.

since you are obviously new to the crypto world, let me explain it to you:

you can
a) pay someone to say "everyting is okay" and hope to not be caught
or
b) pay someone to outline existing attack vectors and work with him/her to close these ones.

"security" is never a state, or a point in time.
its a work in progress, and every peer-reviewed paper, pointing out gaps, and how to close them is a step in the right direction.

the paper sums up existing problems in the PRE-RELEASE version, but Atlas is also working with the devs to close them.

it is a pretty pretty picture.

// e.g. its safe to say that the pairing-process will be changed to harden the network against sybil-attacks (make it more expencive/harder to coordinate)
// and other solutions are obviously discussed.
// THIS is the idea behind a peer-review.
// NOT to declare something finished in the first round, its more about gradual hardening, with every round.

This is a great summary!
