Although I'm glad it is up, it was sadly only restored after the tweets became popular. The "review" that claimed it still violated policy: https://twitter.com/Twotafkap/status/1443099098438045697&#x

If I've understood this right, the biggest problems are outlined in the section titled "TPM PCR Brittleness". I'm not convinced that any three of the proposed solutions are good.

You're correct, from the original article he links the token website, and the contract address. As you can see there's basically no liquidity at all, as the last transaction was 2 days ago: https://bscscan.com/toke

The primary citation can be found at [0], but the article includes some more background, and emphasises the author's response - admitting that the data was probably tampered with. [0]: https://datacolada.org/98

False positives (this program could access these file locations) seems like a reasonable tradeoff.

I clearly misunderstood you but can you explain how you've come to that conclusion? I'm trusting their whitepaper but it looks to me that fog provides similar security guarentees between MyMonero (shared view key) and other light

The registration is the easy part. Explaining federation (it's just like email, but we put the @ at the front and a : between uncertain nods ) and key management, especially with multiple devices is the hard part.

If you look at their forum you can find more about their beta client. The signal app acts as a light wallet. Right now it generates keys and encrypts then with your signal pin. You can also restore them from the recovery phrase. The term no

I'm neutral to cryptocurrency so I share similar sentiments. Apart from the lack of addressing MobileCoin and Moxie's relationship and funding, MobileCoin's distributution and SGX I think the article has done a good job addre

I think if they develop something similar to fog, Grin might fit.

by qqii 5y ago
This is false, their privacy is similar to Monero (RingCT). SGX is only an added level of privacy.

Taxable events occur off platform at the exchange. As long as you're in crypto only gift allowance applies.

In short it's a a hard problem and area of active research. Stablecoin mechanisms have tradeoffs whether that's being on a public blockchain, a centralised party, collateral risk or lack of privacy. Monero is the current gold stan

If this was a public rollout I'd be more inclined to agree but as a opt in beta for a limited number of users who explicitly opted in to provide feedback this is less of an issue. The future volatility of MobileCoin is to be seen. Past

Perhaps you'd be interested in TUSD on SCRT[0] (or any bridged stablecoin) that can be wrapped in SNIP-20[1]. As far as I know this is as private as you'll get when it comes to a stablecoin. Partisia[2] (currently in beta) and Tar

Volatility doesn't have to be an issue with a cryptocurrency tokens either, there are plenty of stablecoins backed by currencies and plenty of algorithmic stablecoins backed by other cryptocurrencies. At the moment the majority of thes

Although the relationship isn't clear and not clarified I find the article does a good job at addressing why they chose MobileCoin - the list of requirements.
55.
by qqii 5y ago
The article directly addresses this with it's list of requirements. Perhaps another privacy coin like Grin would be a better suggestion that at least fits most of their requirements.

There's a difference between how many Mobile Coin premined (all of them) and how many they currently own, aren't available for sale and was sold for partners at what price. Unfortunately their CEO has made no comment about this di

A private currency still provides added privacy guarentees even assuming the steps you've outlined. Private payments would also be useful in a number of countries outside of the West. Currency volatility is obviously unsolved but remai
