SaberhagenTheNameless on Nostr: An effective ring size of 4.2 is still better spender deniability than Bitcoin ...
An effective ring size of 4.2 is still better spender deniability than Bitcoin transactions + amount and receiver privacy isn't affected by this whatsoever
It's also exponential with every additional hop. ring size^hops = 4.2^3 = ~74 potential decoys = ~1% chance of tracing the true spend after 2 additional transactions
An imperfect Monero is still leagues better for privacy than Bitcoin
FCMP will also make this attack obsolete
