Lol I've already seen several users challenge you to trace their Monero transactions and nothing but crickets from you ๐Ÿฆ—๐Ÿฆ—๐Ÿฆ— "they only identify the sender in about 1 in 15 cases" In other words - random chance ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ "I still think you'll need a considerable amount of off chain data" Monero never claims to protect the privacy of things that are external to it's blockchain...no crypto can

Someone challenged me to trace his transaction to its source yesterday on Bawdy Anarchist's twitter space and I denied the ability to do so. I want to build more automatic decoy eliminators because without them you need lots of off chain data that I don't know how to get or that is expensive to acquire. I am not sure how far you can get using only chain heuristics to identify the true spender; I suspect it's higher than 1 in 15 but lower than 100%. One monero dev offered a helpful cli tool that detects all instances when a stealth address has appeared in a ring; this is something my tool is currently missing and would greatly help with building taint trees. I hope that through community effort my tool continues to improve in effectivelness. The bad guys shouldn't be the only ones with a tool like this, and before yesterday only ciphertrace had a tool like this (that I know of anyway)
