Don't tell the crypto Bruhs about the several vulnerabilities already found in the Monero anonnymisation system. https://arxiv.org/pdf/1704.04299/ The problem is also one of credibility, Bitcoin was supposed to be private and breaching privacy has proved to be pretty trivial. Encryption is hard, but maintaining anonymity is much harder.

Crypto tribalism aside, you got two technical points fundamentally wrong about the cryptography: 1) snarks are fast now. It takes 3 seconds on a pixel phone for Zcash. 2)The decoy based approaches Monero uses are subject to all kinds of passive and active attacks. Both in practice ( https://arxiv.org/pdf/1704.04299/) and just fundamentally: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9s3EbSKDA3o. There are ways to mitigate some of these problems to a degree. This is why you hear Monero people talk about coin control and churning (both of which can make you stand out in other ways). But the fact that they…

If you give me a link I'm happy to "read more" but you're going to have to give me a link or make an argument, I have no interest in going searching for something so likely to be wrong. Here is an active deanonymization attack [1]: > We show how an attacker can take advantage of Monero’s Bulletproof protocol, which reduces transaction fees, to flood the network with his own transactions and, consequently, remove mixins from transaction inputs. Assuming an attack timeframe of 12 months, our findings show that an attacker can trace up to 47.63% of the transaction inputs at a cost of just…

If you analyze enough of the chaff transactions, especially when the XMR that made them up is respent, you can deanonmyize users. This is why people recommend you do not reuse wallets often but that still does not solve the problem. Zcash I think is secure, or is per most analyses I've read.

It's thought to be less susceptible to tracability analysis than Monero. [1] https://arxiv.org/pdf/1704.04299/ [2] https://eprint.iacr.org/2017/338.pdf

> A whole world currency that is potentially immune to inflation and government manipulation. You said potentially, so I’ll give you this one. > No currency conversion fees. This is a function of the market, not the underlying instruments. It’s also not true of most crypto markets, and I’m not confusing the spread with fees at exchanges. > The ability to send funds to anyone with no middle man and no fee (besides the miners). No fee (besides the miners) isn’t much different to no fee (except this fee). It’s still a fee, and in the case of Bitcoin, the fee has potential to be prohibitive (and…
