XC is coin-forwarding (coins go to the node). DRK's masternode simply signs transactions.

I hope he can also provide some feedback for even greater levels of obfuscation / anonymity - if he finds areas of improvement

I'd thought of this as well, and it does seem superior (random exit points for change for mix > 2). It might be a pain to implement though; I think I need to mull it over a bit more.

The duff! He definitely deserves to be immortalized in the terminology

QED

LOL nice jump on mintpal!

Because, They don't make an explanation unless a dick enters to devs asses...

Very good points. A good place to start with regards to the block cycle might be to assign it a random probabilty that stands to have it occur somewhere between every 5-15 blocks or so.

The ultimate goal is to seamlessly hide the person-to-person transactions among the general mixing so that one cannot discern the difference.

I know this probably won't be popular (speed-wise) but maybe a good approach would be for people to have the option to wait for the general mixing to send a transaction (built into the client)? It would certainly slow down transaction speed but if the transaction were synced with the general mixing it would be very difficult to track. It could be implemented in the form of a checkbox perhaps? Maybe call it DarkMist.

Would it even be possible to do the general mixing every block or two, or would that be too much of a burden on the network?

Trolls paid with rollback coins

So that dangly bit might echo for eternity...

They are still mixed with all the other "dirty" coins with a group signature as before. They "do" change hands, just from your right hand to your left hand if you will. The additional nodes reduces the chance of collusion to near 0. Each "hop" occurs every ten minutes as specified; so your coins will be with multiple participants *each* hop

Also, assuming user-defined mixing depth (or even just assuming minimum depth of two), coins would be entering and leaving the "train" (masternode chain in the graphic) at different intervals, not all after #8 (which would be an extended mixing time of approx. 3h 20m for your coins).

No, it'll be mix of amounts.

Come off it, it was a backhanded complement!  He was being facetious!

Denominations go down to .001 DRK.  Anything below that goes to the miners that found the block as a fee.

I agree that this makes sense for an objective, BUT:

Do the wallet-sent TX stand out in that mist? I still think the client should denominate before it sends to a masternode. This might happen by default per the pre-mix. But, sends from wallets are still not sends from identified MNs, so it's something identifiably not mist going into the mist... Thus, it might be identified coming out. I'd like to see a denominated multi-point-exit to shore this up.

It looks like it's almost there to me... I'd start my explanation of why I say that by saying first, it looks like the mist moved from the client to the MNS, and the identifiable part moved from the MNs to the clients... Now, this is not 100% true because the clients are receiving pre-mixed. But quantities and timing are still potentially, sometimes identifiable. Noted, there is a percentage linked on a google docs spreadsheet. Probability it not absolutely. That's why it's called probability and not absolutely.

If the client sent out DRK in the same denominations, and with the same IP obfuscation (which pre-suppsoes that there will be IP obfuscation added at some point) as the MNs used, there would be no way to know what the hell was going to where. IF change came out of the 8-box look randomly;

1) sometimes skipping a block in timing
2) some bits coming out earlier than others. (MN2 sends one hunk of denominated change, MN5 sends another hunk, etc)

Then the when goes to hell too.

Also, the 10 block cycle is a cycle, not a mist. It's the opposite of homogeneous...

Then you've truly got a homogeneous mist going. The picture/updated info is a mist into which a somewhat thicker mist comes and goes... It's not quite homogenous.

Don't take this as an insult or a troll. It's damn near perfect now. I'm just thinking out loud about how to make it a little MORE perfect...

I wonder if blowjayxt, our resident homojenius wants to chime in on how this is or is not homogeneous?

It is brilliant. It solves a lot of issues I often wondered about (like the advantages of being able to use block explorer to check the transaction happened) while at the same time *improving* anonymity by generalising it to the entire coin supply.

0.01 DRK

Edit 0.001 DRK (what he said down below  )

Sorry to be terse, but there are other threads discussing Bitcoin. This is about the future.
