Topic: Privacy/Anonymity Solution in Network Layer and Token Integration (Read 280 times)

As it seems to me, one of the most important features of this project can be the ability to use it through mass adoption.

This is a very helpful project with the existence of a business project such as a business that is done will archive it in the container so as to facilitate who is doing business need not be difficult to find the archives that will be used.

Exactly, people are more focus on privacy coin or similar revolution idea. The essence about Marlin is about faster network relay that is compatible to the existing blockchain ecosystem.

This is not a privacy coin - its hard to think of this project in a light that is not what you traditionally expect in an ICO, but this is a community focused project and not a coin as such.  The main focus is providing a networking protocol that is agreed on and can support all existing blockchains.

There is not a privacy coin -- this is not used for payments in a traditional sense. The LIN token would be used only within the bandwidth marketplace - the purchase is always going to be a purchase of network resources.

Its a networking solution that is powered by a bandwidth sharing marketplace.

Today, when you use something like TOR,VPN, or BitTorrent, there is likely no incentive or there is a centralized company you are paying for the service. With the Marlin ecosystem, people are rewarded for contributing their reliable bandwidth potential.

Perhaps, but still the government threat on ICO's and privacy coins is big. I really hope the team have something up their sleeves to solve that when time comes.

I don't think this is about the Government, but it's bigger than that. Internet is mainstream, and this is about fast data routing, which is applicable to all internet access activities.

Hi ! Do you think that government adopt this platform ?

There are several gov't regulation, most probably team has already addressed all these.

If marlin has a privacy features, how will it deal with the regulations made by the Government?

This is just a tip of an iceberg of what marlin wants I suppose.  They are more focus on scaling and fast routing.

Some of the data which will be stored on blockchains will be particularly sensitive – blockchain networks are currently being explored as a means of recording and updating healthcare records, genomic sequences and biometric credentials. While any sensitive information stored on the blockchain will (as a best practice) be encrypted, because of the distributed nature of the blockchain, hackers may target those specific nodes that, for one technical reason or another, can be more easily compromised to access the encrypted information, or where the laws are inadequate to prevent such hacking. This concern is compounded when it comes to government-employed hackers, who may take advantage of the physical location of nodes in countries where information is more easily hacked, or where the laws are inadequate to prevent such hacking. While privacy risks can be mitigated by operating in closed networks, there are benefits to open networks that will require at least some blockchains containing sensitive information to be operated in less than fully closed networks.

Another concern with open networks is that, even if the information itself is encrypted, sensitive information can be gleaned from the fact that transactions are taking place at all. For example, if two large banks engage in a high volume of transactions with each other in a short period of time, information can be extrapolated from that information by other banks or private individuals who can see the transactions occurring, even if they can’t see the details of the transactions themselves. On a more personal level, if a doctor accesses a patient’s health records to make changes, a hacker may be able to see that transaction if they know the online identifiers of the doctor and the patient. While the hacker won’t be able to see the health records or what was changed without accessing and decrypting the records, they can at the very least infer that the patient saw a particular doctor on a particular date, information which a patient might wish to keep private.

Equally problematic is the fact that, at this point, it is unclear who, if anyone might be legally liable in the event this information is accessed and harm results to the owner of the information, or to a third party as a result of unauthorized use of the information.

Conclusion:
The statement above is a brief summary of the privacy issues that are already being noticed and addressed by Marlin Protocol thinking about blockchain. As blockchain grows as an accepted technology, and as its potential applications increase, these issues will be fleshed out and new ones will likely appear. Stay tuned for future posts as blockchain continues to grow

The equality of anonymity between products and the integrated tokens should be pursue to maintain the value or much more higher than that in the future matter. Redesigning and filling the deficiency of any existing projects that are not capable to do so their goals/targets. Propagating the ideas of being anonymous is much higher probability that it would be the means of everybody can put a lot of their assets in a particular project base on the security provided. Great idea, any updates of these projects shall be followed.

""Conclusion; Marlin is has the complete package of what is complete privacy/anonymity should be. The rest is working on their forte and not in totality.""

as you said on Marlin being the complete package. I just checked the team behind the project. You got good names backing up this project. How do you see this project getting attention in a year or two? We could probably all agree here that blockchain is the way to go specially for Privacy / Anonimity but yeah where do you see this project going / accomplishing by next year?

The scalability portion of Marlin's solution hasn't really been shared yet, and it might be the most exciting. By combining Cut through, Wormhole switching, Minimizing Hops, Compact Hash, and FEC -- we could see blockchains scaling with 500X throughput. This isn't a pipedream either -- this is reality

Yeah most project nowadays are sh**s.

There are only few privacy project emerging in the market right now. But a lot of start-ups starting to take venture in privacy set up.
Gonna wait for more details regarding this one

We are in the wild west where every start-up popping everywhere. Most are shits - few are gold.
I've come to a conclusion that aside from being decentralized, the most important part of blockchain innovation is anonymity/privacy not just in the platform but also in the token integration itself.

Few of this start-up have a full privacy in product but the token incentives doesn't have privacy itself.


Some of the potential candidates includes, Marlin Protocol (https://www.marlin.pro/#) , NKN (https://nkn.org/) and Mainframe (https://mainframe.com/)

Pros and Cons;

Marlin
Pros; anonymous network layer, fully decentralized, run in masternode, fully token integration anonymity, highly scalable.
Cons; No specified blockchain yet

NKN;
Pros; Proof-or-relay, decentralized, own blockchain (testnet phase),
Cons; Token is traceable, not focus on privacy (more on connectivity)

Mainframe;
Pros; Decentralized App (messaging)
Cons; Token integration is easy to trace.


Conclusion; Marlin is has the complete package of what is complete privacy/anonymity should be. The rest is working on their forte and not in totality.

Any additional information can be discussed below.
