summary
Claims that IP-level monitoring and chain-analysis deanonymize on-chain transactions, shows that metadata (entry/exit timing) breaks privacy. NYM prototypes a mixed network with delays and cover traffic that pads flows and inserts dummies, and prefers a DHT instead of Tor directory to avoid central guards; experiments aim to destroy timing patterns rather than rely on VPNs or dandelion. Monero’s continuous six-month upgrades and tail emission keeps miners incentivized, enabling rapid fixes and adoption decisions.
