Is a great article. but looks like it's too late to make from bitcoin something anonymous... I mean, the technology looks nice and it could work, but some coins like Monero already solve the puzzle. The right way to be anonymous in our transactions is using a blockchain made for that task, easy as that.

You do not need to make -another- blockchain for network level privacy. You need to use something like NYM. Think of it in a similar way of using TOR with a bitcoin node.
