RE: TheShadowBrokers may have received up to 1500 Monero (~$66,000) from their June "Monthly Dump Service"
Awesome Work.
Monero, Dash, Zcash, Neos, etc are still using the 'encrypted' money transfer services. Ethereum is to release Raiden in a couple of months, which allow for anonymous transactions, similar to Zcash, Dash, etc.
I wonder if this will effect their value?
I am uncertain whether or not Ethereum + Raiden tech will work truly similar to the Tor-brand dark currencies or Not.
I happy to have the Tor brands around, but they did create a lot of copycats, etc, which could lead to some pump and dump type behavior. TX is a coin I've been watching, waiting for it's pump, and MASS is another Tor Brand ICO type of service launching shortly.
Essentially MASS does the master node hosting for you on an assortment of these type of encrypted block chains for a fee.
Anyone here Master Node? I'm just getting mine setup :)
Personally, I've encountered difficulties in making anonymous transactions with ethereum. I was only able to find 1 (shady looking/centralized) mixer and a smart contract that almost nobody uses.
Led me to make a few payments in Monero/bitcoin (which has plenty of reputable mixers available) instead of ether which would've been my preference. So yea, IMO any increases in ethereum's fungibility will totally lead to immediate increases in value.
If anybody links me a good ethereum mixer, I'd be stoked.
I'm going to check out TX, sounds interesting.
