Whoever wrote that DASH privacy article obviously biased against DASH. Thats a pretty absurd risk - that the NSA is going to demand a masternode log from a cloud provider and actually be able to decipher whats in it. First of all, we dont even have masternode mixing being logged, you have to enable certain debug switches (debug=true, debugmaster=true), second, you have to export logs regularly before they pass the pruning threshhold, third, I highly doubt the NSA is going to monitor Sanctuaries from Vultr and successfully get the log (even if it had something in it), so that risk is pretty absurd. Out of 84 sanctuaries in our small community, one wouldnt even know which sanc log to look for.
I read in a comment that the guy who wrote that steemit article was handing out Monero ads at a meeting where Evan Duffield was speaking LOL
Whats also interesting is that fluffypony of Monero is in the comments.
I have gotten a little more paranoid, with latest CPU memory bugs in the news, and from watching two Snowden documentaries over the holiday break LOL

Im trying to test PrivateSend now, but it seems like I can only put 2000 BiblePay as highest number for mixing.
This seems to be where you set how many coins you want to mix:
Settings >> Options >> Wallet >> Amount of BiblePay to keep anonymized
It looks like 2000 is set as maximum number in the GUI
https://github.com/biblepay/biblepay/blob/fd8db16748a8ae1e38d7bda5692353be00a14918/src/qt/forms/optionsdialog.ui#L266Looks like there might be a command line option
https://github.com/biblepay/biblepay/blob/853affd8c070bfbfd8069abd4e4e8fc83f30afb9/src/init.cpp#L687Basically my goal is to keep myself anonymous with the coins I was funded from the 1st superblock,
and if I ever wanted to send someone coins for payment for work or if I ever wanted to put up a public donation address, etc
===
UPDATE: I was able to add this to the biblepay.conf:
privatesendamount=1550001
and it showed in Amount and Rounds: 999999 BIBLEPAY
is that the max limit of coins you can mix in the code?
Can mixed coins be used to fund a Sanctuary?
I like your enthusiasm!
I see we have the 999999 limit in, most likely intended to keep the mixing overhead time down. Good job on finding the switch.
There are some known issues in funding one vout with instantsend or darksend so it would be better to mix them first, then create yourself a new encrypted wallet, send the mixed funds there, then set up your sanc with that cold wallet, and that way you will have a standard vout for the masternode.conf file to refer to.
I took the plunge and am attempting to mix 999,999 BBP
So far it looks like its going through and creating all the denominations
It looks like 10 is the highest denomination for mixing? Im getting a huge amount of addresses with 10.0001 BBP, also 1.00001, 0.100001 and 0.0100001,
its already used up all of my 1000 keys three times now, at the rate of 10 BBP per address, wont that be 100k addresses that I will need? O_O
Do other users also have to use privatesend for my coins to have coins to mix with?
Given that we are over 100x more coin supply then Dash, should we have 100 and 1,000 BBP amounts for mixing available? (maybe even 10,000?)
Is this process stoppable?
I hope I dont break something or lose coins LOL,
Anything I should be aware of? Hopefully this works out. I wonder how long it will take O_O
UPDATE: It looks like the wallet stopped mixing for some reason, cant find anything poking out in the debug.log, but the "Stop Mixing" button turned back to "Start Mixing", Im going to give up for now and go back to default 2000 and attempt mixing that amount first
