I totally agree here .. with TITAN people get a wrong sense of privacy .. and I am sure BM realized that too already!
Please elaborate?
Sure ... TITAN deposits in your account are collected to one balance. If you send from your TITAN account you might need to links several TITAN deposits. Everyone on capable of reading the blockchain will see that those deposits are owned by the same individual .. Same thing as in bitcoin .. you just don't have any information about the identity .. but can figure out his funds over time ..
That's why it is a false sense of privacy ..
Well, with certain bitcoin clients, you can 'Send from' an address. I routinely use this to keep funds in the same wallet separate. And of course, I use different wallets for different things as well.
With BitShares you can't do this, but you can send your funds to yourself regularly. The way I understand it, assuming a TITAN account, over time it becomes more difficult to link things.. unless you send a huge transaction which will link all the mixed addresses.
I for one would dearly love that privacy was paid more attention around here. It seems to almost never be on the radar.. from the glaring lack of proxy support to Tor+the forum working only ~40% of the time, to the faucet STILL registering accounts as non titan (the issue you opened on github when I brought this to attention still sits there, unanswered)..
Privacy is important guys. I realize there are ALSO other priorities, BUT we should not forget that we have a right to privacy and that these technologies, if used wrong, are much worse than the traditional banking system in terms of privacy.
