Title: What happend to Dash's Masternode blinding?
Post by: iCEBREAKER on July 25, 2015, 11:25:54 PM
TestNet Update - v12.0.29 - TESTNET ONLY!

Is this the update that fixes Dash's broken Darksend anonymity by implementing Masternode blinding (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oXtj4T4M_-4)?

No?  Why not?  Masternode blinding has been 'in the works' for at least 5 months.

Masternode blinding was supposed to be part of "the next release" according to https://www.dashpay.io/news/11-2-dash-release/

Masternode Blinding is NOT part of this release, while it’s in the code, it’s currently disabled. It’ll take a bit more work to complete and we were running out of time before the March 25th deadline, so it’s being moved to the next release.

What's taking so long?

Duffield is no longer saying Masternode blinding will be done.

The subject has just been dropped.  Radio silence.

Does he think we'll just forget when some other new shiny thing is released instead?

Considering Dash's raison d'etre is anonymity, why isn't Masternode blinding the top priority?

Thanks to  Dash (http://dash.com/) the coin is now sparkling clean, the dirty dark is in the past.
Masternode blinding was never anything else than fish-bait (burley).

Yes, we shall. And Evan will continue to deliver

If he says it will be done, you can book it.

But he's no longer saying Masternode blinding will be done.

As anyone can clearly see by going through updates, is was explained that Masternode Blinding is still very much on the development radar, just postponed temporarily while we create a stable version to be included in our mobile wallet projects, which are currently under development.

When these mobile wallets using V12 are completed, then the plan is to continue the planned path of enabling Masternode Blinding.

Which "updates?"  Links or it never happened.
