Jami has it's own tradeoff as you'll be revealing your IP in a DHT.

This isn't the case, monero employs stealth addresses so there is no way to tell who the recipient is just just by observing the blockchain.

It looks like MobileCoin is a mix of Monero and Stellar Consensus so the transactions will be protected by Ring CT ( https://www.getmonero.org/resources/moneropedia/ringCT.html ).

Monero's primatives are pretty well researched [0]. Of course there is always the chance of bugs in the implimentation but it looks MobileCoin's crypto primatives library has at least been audited [1]. [0] https://www.g

As we've seen from XMPP and Matrix federation comes with it's own set of tradeoffs. Matrix (specifically the element client) has come very far but it's still not at a state where I can reccomended it to non technical acquaint

As a signal user and even promoter my biggest issue with a new cryptocurrency is that my privacy and security concerns for a chat app are different from my privacy and security concerns for monetary transfers. I'm not sure why you find

The problem with this theory is that this is four years in the making[0], aka since the last cryptocurrency bubble. https://www.wired.com/story/mobilecoin-cryptocurrency/

That's not a problem if you accept transactions in the mempool.

Similarly dissapointed but looking at Signal's past choices (barely open source server, no plans to federate, aggression against modified clients, extensive use and lack of criticism for SGX) monero wasn't even on the table.

How would that be any more private as every transaction can be deduced by the on/off ramp.

Moxie and Signal's intention to use MobileCoin are well documented, the only question was when.

Who is in the foundation and what does the governance look like? Is there a plan to expand governance to the community? I know the next question is signal specific but do you have any details on how they'll maintain privacy for pegging

As a tradeoff for decentralisation. Currently nodes are run by "trusted companies" and it doesn't look like you can run your own as an individual.

Thanks for answering questions, it's nice to see that MobileCoin shares so many similarities with Monero with changes that seems to make decent tradeoffs for usability. I have a few questions: What is the identity and distribution behi

Not a very surprising choice given Signals current use of SGX and reliance on their centralised server. It's a bit of a shame as MobileCoin doesn't offer as strong guarentees as other privacy coins but I'm interested to see h

Are there any specifics that you'd like to know? In context this is an accoucement of what is effectively a changelog for future features in a financial smart contact. Acronyms and specific knowledge are to be expected.

What is effectively a changelog of features for their new version is probably not the best place to start. If you'd like to know more then this [0] is a brief summary of Uniswap and this paper [1] is a good introduction to the formalis

Technically the interface is still GPLv3 so just changing the smart contact locations isn't in violation of any licence agreements.

The README links the following attack[0]. Uniswap v2 has a minimum ratio that rolls back the swap if the price has changed too much against your favour. For the most part this prevents front running trades. [0]: https://medium.co
