If you know me, you know where I stand. I despise scams and bad math. That leaves only one.
How is BBR with full network level anonymity via Telepathy scam or bad math?
Looks to me like it's a similar way of achieving what using XMR with I2P integration is aiming for.
what is the purpose of bitcoindark? ive asked the question on the bitcointalk thread and people said bitcoindark was better technology than cryptonote
if bitcoindark is superior to cn, why use cn ?
if its not, why promote bitcoindark ?
Bitcoindark's Telepathy is a network technology over UDP that enables people to send encrypted messages with no identifiable data(no IP, no user info ect). And through that you can use Teleport to wrap up a transaction and there's other features there to help protect against common attacks like sybil, mantissa ect. What it doesn't do yet as far as I know is provide any way to guarantee you're inputs are clean. That's where BBR comes in. BBR doesn't have any sort of protection on a network level as far as I know, but it goes have unlinkable transactions and ring signatures. So from what I can tell so far the strongest anonymity is going to be combining the two technologies via SuperNET.
Monero developers obviously see the value in providing that network level anonymity as they are working on integrating I2P which may achive a similar result. I'm not too familiar with I2P but I'll be interested in comparing how the two methods work out.
For most people they'll probably be able to achieve a level of anonymity they're comfortable with by just using XMR, BBR, or BTCD via Teleport alone. But some people will want to go the distance and try to fully protect their privacy.
Telepathy/Teleport is completely different than CN tech so I don't think you can say one or the other is better or worse as they tackle different aspects of anonymity. Jl777 knew that if he could combine both that the result would be very strong, so that's how the original idea of SuperNET was born. That and seeing the advantages of financial and technical collaboration anyway.
There's a Telepathy/Teleport whitepaper(not the 'darkpaper', which was just a now outdated informal attempt to explain) that I've read that's all but finished expect for the final touches from a math person that was paid to add some quantitative analysis to it. Actually it might have already been released, I have no idea. I haven't seen the final version with the math though, only the qualitative description.
