An arbitrary plaintext data payload in a system whose privacy relies on indistinguishably is like a screen door on a submarine. 😂 ❤️

Hahah, Neptune and I analyzed tx_extra use and found some interesting [on-chain data](https://github.com/noncesense-research-lab/monero_tx_extra/blob/master/ascii_data.md) 😆 ## High-level overview: - 350+ dates - 80+ email addresses - 10+ URLs - 100+ variations...

Great find @DangerousFreedom1984 - this is a very subtle fingerprint. Do you have a sense of how many transactions exhibit this fungibility defect?

Interesting find @DangerousFreedom1984 good eye :) Could you share a few example transaction hashes? I want to take a peek at the data.

Ah perfect! I didn't realize that column was block height. Thanks :pray:

Agree with above comments, terminology like "efficient" and "privacy enhancing" makes perfect sense to people who already understand different wallet architectures, but has a high chance of causing confusion for...

@paulshapiro I like your idea to introduce "scanning" since it is both accurate and intuitive (I think?) Should we separate the non-technical terminology discussion from the technical terminology discussion? i.e....

I agree with comments above. Great work. Since we want wide adoption, we should make it as easy to use as possible. In other words, I think we should have...

> There's a history of only using prime numbers for the ringsize. While this is pretty fun, I think that it's not important (no technical reason to), and we will...

Here is preliminary data exploiting this information leak to study subaddress adoption. Key word: *preliminary* ... This plot actually shows the fraction of transactions that contain extra public keys, not...
