they always have been but it seems to take a considerable amount of manual work I only have two automated heuristics right now and they only identify the sender in about 1 in 15 cases I plan to add about four more automated heuristics but I still think you'll need a considerable amount of off chain data entry to get really good data

more lies lol since you insist on acting like a 12 yr old I'll treat you like one in the context of a cryptocurrency a "transaction tracing tool" would be able to identify the source, destination and amount of transactions. random chance identifies the sender in "about 1 of 15 cases" the recipient that is published on-chain is a one time stealth address. not useful for tracing since SAs break the transaction graph. and amounts remain opaque. additionally, if it takes "a considerable amount of off-chain information" to *actually use* NOBODY is tracing monero transactions. Because that off-chain data generally doesn't exist. (may be exceptions concerning individuals of interest targeted by 3 letter agencies. know your threat model) this tool doesn't trace monero transactions, by definition. it's a block explorer. just let it be a block explorer and quit trying to use semantics to push inaccurate fud.
