Monero's trading volume is not that great - you can reveal information through relatively-large movements, a sort of side-channel attack.

- RandomBacon 7y agoThat's the first time I've heard that claim before. I know its volume is way higher than Zcash's shielded transactions. Do you have any details on how it might work? I assume you're just not talking about simple timing correlation combined with trading BTC->XMR->BTC (poor opsec). As far as I know, you can't reveal XMR amounts, receipent, or sender if you're just remaining in XMR and not going through a third party (exchange, conversion service, etc). So I'm really curious about the details of your claim.
- davidgerard 7y agoMostly just simple timing correlation, because coiners turn out to talk a much better game about opsec than they practice.
