I love charts without labels or legends. Guessing is so much fun.

There you go but everything was already in the note

Ever heard about Monero?

That's why we do Monero

That's a lot better.

I would probably be supportive of preventing address reuse on the protocol level. Currently it's such a hard sell to tell people to not re-use addresses. I sell bitcoins and most of my trading partners re-use addresses. But I'm also a bit guilty as I'm sometimes using Phoenix where technically I might not re-use an address but it's trivial to track what's spending and what's change for those and many other transactions. Also please stop your affinity for round $$ amounts. The 200$ UTXO is always the payment when the other amount is something odd in $$. Etc. etc.

In my view the answer is not to prevent address reuse. Rather, it’s adopting a wallet address system that eliminates it as a possibility.

I recently tried playing with the Stealth tool https://github.com/stealth-bitcoin/stealth, it's a bit early, but I think a tool like Sparrow where it can see a transaction and suggest what it lloks like (this looks like a consolidation/pay join/etc) is much more user friendly. Curious if sparrow would consider doing a scan of utxos their history and a summary of what it thinks are linked and which utxos look classifiable (eg. From exchange)

I genuinly thought all wallets do this. How do you even get a wallet software that does not do that for you? WTF

Kind of shocked by this stat, honestly.

You mean some interactive scheme? Or reusable payment codes? The trade-offs are real. There are still exchanges that will only give you one receive address - a P2PKH address.

yikes

Do we have a desire to track ourselves?

Wdym anonymity? #bitcoin is open public ledger .. lightning is for anonymity.. isn't it ?
