LIVE w/ Josh S (Airfoil Capital) & Lee Clagett (The Monero Project) at MoneroKon 2019! EPI #71
summary
Network layer deanonymization is the active problem and the daemon now includes SOCKS support so transactions can route over Tor or I2P today but setup is manual and fragile. Tiny I2P is the C++ option and i2p0 (Java) is cross platform, Kovri status remains uncertain. Work remains to add automated I2P seed nodes and a peer seeding strategy. A proposed countermeasure is white noise ~1GB/month per user to hide timing, and defaults versus opt‑in raise legal and anonymity‑set tradeoffs.
