Title: Monero CryptoNote Ring Signatures vs TITAN

Monero CN Ring Signatures vs TITAN

Which system is better? I lack the technical knowledge to know any of the flaws in either system for staying truly anonymous.

CN provide an additional layer of anonymity. TITAN is just stealth addresses. Neither are "truly anonymous" and network analysis is still a huge problem for both.

Thanks toast. Are there any plans in the future to integrate more privacy features into BTS?

What does "network analysis" mean in layman terms?
Is this something that can be foiled by I2P integration?

The gateway system will also be used for coinshuffling, according to the latest hangout. I guess the idea is that anonymous BTC gateways can leverage their "anonymous trust" to allow you to send them BTS or bitassets and get equal random non-atomically matched tokens in return with very low risk and fees.
