welp, regardless, xmr.to now lets you pay XMR -> bitcoin address, and poloniex finally implemented a minimum mixin of 3 on their withdraws, so, in terms of blockchain privacy, a good route is now:
BTC ---exchange (poloniex)--> XMR ---xmr.to---> BTC address.
granted, there may be ip logging all along that route, but that can be avoided with due diligence (and eventually i2p will be baked in to monero)
Looks like a practical defense against all but the most serious adversaries (especially using i2p or TOR - and I'm always using TOR anyway). It's also simple and easy enough to do frequently, which is really the most important thing.
Definitely worth trying - thanks.
I hope monero doesn't get stuck in its evolution and it gets removed from poloniex, its an amazing coin.
Why would it get removed?
Well because its a passing thing like any other sh*tcoin. While there is interst in trading it, it will be listed, and as soon as that interes dusappears, so will the coin listing on exchanges.
Its happening with all other altcoin, why not monero also, its not like its any better than the rest of them, by my opinion ofc.
cheers
