"The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) wants to know if it’s feasible to track transactions conducted using privacy coins."
“This proposal calls for solutions that enable law enforcement investigations to perform forensic analysis on blockchain transactions. This analysis can be approached in any number of ways and may consider different data situation use cases depending on whether additional data from off-chain sources are available.”
You seriously thought they would just let these 'privacy' coins slide? Nah.
Think of this as a bad actor penetration testing an open source project. This is what everyone is preparing for. This is why these coins exist in the first place. Let them break the weak, and let the strong succeed.
thousands of glow in the dark spooks with unlimited funding who literally don't have to abide by laws or rules VS small teams of private sector nerds working on a cryptography project with dwindling funds
yea, if you can't see who wins here you just might be retarded. the latter will tap out as soon as DHS, CIA, FBI and others apply any pressure.
