if exchange use public id for deposit bts
titan→public vs titan →titan
public→public vs public→titan
how about the privacy difference ?

- if you account is registered as public, the client will send the funds not to a newly generated titan address but to your public address that is registered with the blockchain publicly (i.e. active key)
- else, whenever someone sends funds to you, he takes the active_key of your account from the blockchain and derives a child-key similar to stealth addresses ..

So to stay private you can't register accounts?
If one wanted to remain anonymous, should they only ever be sending to public addresses 'BTS34535353454....'?
If you send to an account name does that mean that it is obvious who you are transacting with?
I thought the whole point of registered account names was to make TITAN (anonymous) transactions easier
What do you mean by 'registered as public'?
Are all registered accounts 'public'?

When an account is registered it is flagged as "public" or "titan". I believe the GUI registers accounts with the public flag, while the CLI uses "titan" per default.
