KARM and anonymous transactions"Anonymous Transaction Capability" seems to be the flavor of the month ..
Several BitCoin 'whales' and numerous 'Hero' forum members have concluded
that Monero ( XMR ) and BoolBerry ( BBR ) offer the most robust solutions to
what they see as a serious BitCoin 'flaw' ie the ability to 'data mine' the public ledger
that is the BitCoin Block Chain ..
Read all about it here ..
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=624223.1280Like it or not, but certain 'whales' and 'hero' members have a following
on this forum and are able to successfully promote a given point of view ..
A concensus appears to have been reached as to the absolute desirablity
for a 'coin' that offers
true anonymous transaction capability and that
XMR in particular has the required capabilites making it an 'investable' option ..
NXT appears to be aware of this trend/issue and just announced a "pNxt"
( asset? or sidechain? ) with anonymity .. See post #4243 on page #213
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=587007.msg7734997;topicseen#msg7734997I can follow the arguement with regards to anonymous transactions ..
No wealthy individual or major corporation will want to utilize BitCoin
in a meaningful way when anyone can recreate/observe their every financial
move via the Blockchain .. One certainly wouldn't post their monthly credit card or
bank statements to their facebook page for instance !!
I have no idea how easy or difficult it is to 'add' anonymity to an existing coin's feature set ..
There were several comments in the above referenced thread that seemed ( to me ) to indicate
that BitCoin could not adopt 'true' anonymity and thus the search for an alternative coin ( XMR ) ..
I'm just throwing this out to our devs as a 'feature' for future consideration as KARM evolves ..
It would be neat if "anonymous transaction" was a 'send coins option' from within the wallet ..
My assessment of AT could be wrong, but this is a 'trend' that needs watching ..
Triff ..
