Untraceable payments

[bander]

is there such thing as completely untraceable payments in the crypto currency world? I know bitcoin can be tracked through the blockchain- like when sheepsmarket was hacked and the guy followed him through hundreds of accounts and a tumbler. You would think for something as hardcore on anonymity as the crypto world there would be less transparency...

No tracking of blockchain possible with Monero/XMR.

Yes - Monero has cryptographically untraceable and unlinkable transactions. You can check any of the Monero blockchain explorers, such as monerochain.info, and drill down to a transaction and try figure out who sent it and who received it:)

Short answer is yes.  Untraceable payments is all the craze right now and we've been to subjected to pump and dump coins claiming to offer the feature.  Cryptonote coins like Bytecoin, Monero, Quazercoin, Fantomcoin, Ducknote, BBR are untraceable.  There are other coins that are working hard to offer this feature but it isn't currently available in currently but I feel they are close to say the least.  I'm not going to advertise which coin I believe will be on top but I will say it has not been mentioned in my post.

What other technologies are working on this? I actually just heard about cryptonote in another thread.  And thats not the same Bytecoin that came out a while ago right? I found a couple of websites for Bytecoin and was confused...

Monero works (as do the rest of the CN coins including the reference code, as you pointed out), ZeroCash will work as well (although it will have a trusted accumulator problem that remains unsolved at this juncture). No others have this - if you can view the balance on an address it is not untraceable.

If you can see someone's balance on the blockchain, it is inherently devoid of unlinkability and untraceability. In other words, if I send 1.486 XC and within a period of time an address receives 1.486 XC a link can be made between the sender and the recipient. No amount of mixing can disguise that link.

'counter' is correct, you cannot see the balance of anyone using a CryptoNote-based cryptocurrency. It is inherently and truly cryptographically unlinkable and untraceable for ALL transactions.

Thats why Monero has a legitimate, justified spot within the crypto world. Want true 100% cash-tier untraceability? move your stuff with Monero.
