Stealth transfers are still possible via the CLI wallet, but not via the GUI.

Is there documentation concerning how to perform stealth transactions from the cli?

Any plans to implement GUI support for them?

Am I correct to assume that only transfers between accounts are shielded by this mechanism, and other things like placing market orders can be traced back ?

Thanks for bringing this up.

Does this apply to the old account type that used stealth addresses in BTS 0.9x ?

Are stealth address account types still supported?

In case you didn't know, privacy is currently OFF by default in Graphene. If someone knows your account name, they can see all your balances and activity, unless you are using Confidential Transactions (not yet available in the GUI).

Simply hit Explorer, then Accounts, and you get this page: https://bitshares.openledger.info/#/explorer/accounts. Then you can search anyone's account by name. For example, here's Fav's account, one of our favorite forum regulars: https://bitshares.openledger.info/#/account/fav

If you value your privacy, act accordingly, perhaps by using an account name that isn't easily associated with your identity.

Have fun!
