X-post TPTB_need_war thought this was being ignored, though I don't think Fluffy had a chance to read it and it got buried in the thread.
He wants to launch his own coin from scratch, that should tell you.
The substance of his concerns is legitimate and it has been passed on to the mathematicians of MRL who are analyzing it. My intuition is that the probability of the saturation traceability occurring in practice is extremely low and it therefore doesn't matter, but that isn't a reason to dismiss the issue outright, it still needs to be analyzed and if necessary addressed.

Here is
the link to my last comments to fluffypony.
Note smooth is only referring the saturation that I had mentioned to him back during the BCX incident. In
my recent post, I am also pointing out that the timing of the transactions mixed can lead to degenerate cases of mixes. I suspect he maybe didn't realize I added that point since we last spoke and thus he may be underestimating the likelihood of occurrence. You'll need to ask smooth.

I didn't say I thought it was being ignored.
I said I didn't want to badger them and that I hadn't received any reply in response to an inquiry asking me to comment on the issue. That doesn't mean I assume they are ignoring it. They might be busy working on it. I don't know.
And it is really lame for kazuki49 to be my friend in another thread where I praise Monero and then accuse me of ulterior motives in other thread that I don't normally read and not even PM me.
Of course I don't go around writing nonfactual FUD. You should know that already. Please don't do that again if you are not sure of your ad hominem attack.
If you hadn't noticed, I actually gave
a suggestion for how to improve Monero.
Edit: kazuki49 and I reached understanding in private messages.
