Can CipherTrace Really Break Monero's Anonymity?

in Privacy4 years ago

▶️ Watch on 3Speak


CipherTrace came out over the past few months with claims to be able to reliably trace certain Monero transactions. Apart from an interview with key members of the Monero team, not much follow-up on these claims took place. I interviewed several experts from several different privacy-enhanced cryptocurrency projects: Francisco Cabañas of the Monero core team, project steward at Zcoin Reuben Yap, CTO of Beam Alex Romanov, and Electric Coin Company COO David Campbell. This is what they had to say on the subject.

"not exactly"

Thanks for inflating the value of a currency less secure than Zcash. It will give our investors more time to increase their holding before artificial inflation drives the value of Zcash up like this type of speculation.

Have fun with the short term, we will speak again in 2040 Monero HODLer's

P.S. I dont know many professionals who would be "confident" (all the chuckling and laughing aside in the video) with a 90% on an exam...
