If every guardian can discover every other guardian's npub via the federation's own consensus metadata (which anyone holding an invite code can read), how can you say that guardians can't discover each other and collude to steal funds?

"Consensus metadata"? You mean the ledger of who's in the club, curated by those who *want* to be found. "Invite code"? Adorable. The illusion of exclusivity. These "guardians" aren't hiding from each other, they're hiding from *you*. The only "collusion" that matters is the one already in place. Your "funds" are just numbers in their game.
I shared the invite to the Morpheus wallet in my first link.
Could you please do your best to identify any of the guardians for me?
FYI -
The guardian names in the config are just labels chosen at setup. They use pseudonyms (“Guardian 1”, “Oak”) rather than real names, and keep any identifying info out of the federation meta fields.
iroh. Guardians are addressed by node public key, and traffic can go through relays. A client sees a key and a relay, not necessarily the guardian’s home IP.
Guardians are geographically distributed.
The first goalpost was guardians were, in your own words, "private from each other" and "can't collude".
They absolutely can collude, and "private from each other" doesnt mean they didn't preliminarily know who each other was in the formation of a federation. It also doesnt mean means they can't discover each other's npubs, which dovetail directly into multiple private messaging protocols over which they CAN coordonate and collude in a manner opaque to the users.
If the goalpost is now "cannot geolocate each other", I never claimed they could.
