No technical explanation whatsoever.
Whatever happened to the pathetic "We can de-anonymize DarkSend tx"-crowd anyway? None of those losers delivered more than smack talk just like the guy in the screenshot.
Ok, thanks! So my understanding is this: from a purely perfectionist theoretical technical point of view, Darksend might be "subpar", but it has no actual practical relevance because it is safe enough for real world usage? Correct?
Why would it be "below average"? I have not seen a single substantial argument to that claim. Are we talking about a 51% Masternode attack? This protection against a cost prohibitive attack with a tiny chance of success is even better than the protection of Bitcoin against 51% attacks if you look at it soberly. We have real world examples of pools uniting too much hashing power and it can even happen by chance. Masternode anonymity can never be broken that way:
"Oops I bought too many Masternodes lol... Let's try to deanon someone with a 0.001% chance!"
Sure looks like "sub par" anonymity to me
