your transactions on blockchains today are almost all transparentyou can see everything about everyonethere are two approaches to fix this in crypto:i) mix up the transparent txs to try and hide your tracksthis is the legacy versionwhen you see certain mixers brag about txn numbers, understand their privacy does not work without itthey have to do whatever it takes to increase the number of txsobfuscation depends on you believing there’s a big enough crowd to hide inthis has big drawbacksthose trying to trac ...

public blockchains are the biggest psyop in cryptowithin a decade, they will become an ancient relic, like httpchains (except a few HFT ones) will be encrypted by defaultpublic state was required to solve the double-spend problem in 2008, zk solves it nowtime to move onNaval (@naval):If it starts with the word “public,” it’s probably in decay. ...

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]
