this is self moderated because with all the shit flying.  And anonymints feelings hurt and fluffypony mad at anonymint and visa versa.  and bcx somewhere in the middle.  and moneroman trying hard to get bcx to kill monero the fud on this is strong.  And I want answers - not the muddled stuff everybody is posting.

A - is it possible?
B - what would it take?  a 51% attack?
C - what would it take to eliminate the possibility in the future?

Following posts are not welcome.

- hurt feelings.
- attacking monero.  
- glossing over dealkillers for monero ("this is all fud .. rptellia hung the moon ... blah blah blah")
- discussing shit that doesn't matter.
- bcx vauge threats

can someone answer my questions?  I WILL moderate this thread

I rather fancy the idea of publishing the sender of (most) every ring signature on the block chain instead at a future date of my choosing.

I warned you don't fuck with me.

I will make sure BBR has the mitigation ready assuming they are still cooperative with me and they don't give my mitigation to XMR.

You are not dealing with BCX any more. You are dealing with me. Capice.

anonymity doesn't matter.  pointless thread.

that wasn't the question.  I'm deleting your post - start your own thread if you think anonymity is pointless.

thanks.

In order to address the feasibility of an attack, the attack must first be well-defined.  When anonymint is able to define his proposed attack in a reasonably complete manner, its feasibility can be accurately discussed and/or tested. So far it remains conjectural.

Give a man a fish and he eats for a day.  Give a man a Poisson distribution and he eats at random times independent of one another, at a constant known rate.
