Title: [XMR] Why is churning detrimental to privacy?
Post by: markcolls on January 27, 2024, 12:06:53 PM
This is a Monero (XMR) specific question.

Someone recently told me that churning is detrimental to privacy. Churning is the process of sending funds to one-self, effectively increasing the number of ring members exponentially. But I don't understand how this can be detrimental to privacy when address and amount are hidden in monero.
