zcash's optional privacy and scaling privacy to the planeta big reason why privacy was quiet until now is that its proponents wanted to appeal to criminals instead of everyday individualsI understand saying you do stuff on the darknet has aura, but if you do this, everyone will think privacy is only for criminals, and privacy will get outlawedthis is what is happening nowyou end up tremendously hurting the cause for the false image of sticking it to the man — you are, in fact, sticking it to no one but your ...

13/ It’s important to note that privacy is not the same as anonymity.The goal here isn’t to keep your transactions a secret from regulatory and lawful authorities. It’s to keep them private from nosy neighbors and competitors. https://t.co/T2IXPqgFtl ...

Privacy Properties - Zcash possesses the strongest possible privacy properties mathematically and technically due to its use of ZK (Zero-Knowledge cryptography) [1] - A growing shielded pool with an increasing number of transactions inherently provides a higher level of privacy than probabilistically traceable decoy systems [1] - Allowing transparent transactions creates an entry point for regular users to shield their transactions, further expanding the anonymity set [1] User Experience - The potential for user error is higher for new users when using optional privacy features unless a wallet like Zashi is utilized [1] - Zashi wallet has addressed the UX problem associated with optional privacy, leading to a vertical increase in the shielded pool [1] Technical Comparison - Zcash encrypts data, rendering it invisible to trackers, unlike decoy systems that use ring signatures to "confuse" trackers [1]
