[–] jackr@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 7 months ago (3 children) fyi monero hasn't had the best trackrecord on the cryptography front[1] I am not certain if they have improved or not but I believe zcash tends to do a lot better on that front permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] Skankhunt420@sh.itjust.works 14 points 7 months ago (1 child) Zcash has opt in anonymization. So it really doesn't work because any offramp can just not accept any zcash that has been obfuscated. With monero, its all obfuscated by default. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] jackr@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 7 months ago If a diy hrt seller doesn't accept obfuscated cash they are 100% a fed, but point taken permalink fedilink source parent [–] magic_smoke@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 7 months ago (1 child) Admittedly I'm not a hardcore crytography nerd, but I know they've been improving things for years, and that message on that mailing list looked like it was 10 years old. Not saying your wrong, but Id take it with a grain of salt. Anytime I see a newer encrypted block chain I see it and think whatever improvements have been done here, will eventually bleed into monero because of that. And that unlike the other encrypted blockchain, people will still actively be using xmr for real transactions. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] jackr@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 7 months ago You might be right, I have not followed xmr closely. You might also notice that this vulnerability is unlikely to deanonimise you, but the point was more that it is a mistake they shouldn't have made. Their last audit looks fine, though it was made by a blockchain auditing company which I don't know. I don't think there is much harm in using xmr for this, groups who would be capable of exploiting vulnerabilities in this kind of project are unlikely to do so, unless an issue of national security becomes associated somehow permalink fedilink source parent [–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 point 7 months ago I'm not sure I'd trust whatever that link is as a source that XMR isn't secure... I mean, what even is that link? permalink fedilink source parent
