@memo if you haven't already you may want to see how Freenet's FMS works with its trust system. I think it can be applied here. A simplified version would allow users to mark spammers and then
Right now I agree with you. But once Electron Cash makes it a default (I think they will make it opt out) then BCH blockchain analysis won't even be good for probable cause bcz false +
"Cashshuffle helps" = agree, much like VPN or TOR "helps." But it still provides probable cause because just using the service puts you on a list. Do not rely on it for anonymity.

I’m talking about how identities are compromised, not an attack on Bitcoin. Search for “Ross Ulbricht”, “Roman Seleznev”, “Abu Omar.”
Well that's a different story. I'm saying that cashshuffle helps immensely when it comes to getting deanonymized via blockchain analysis. Do you disagree with that?
It’s like VPN. Your data does in, everybody’s data comes out, they still match stuff. Except blockchain is pub so you don’t even need the pen reg.
I don't think it's comparable to a VPS. Going through 5 VPSes you can be attacked by timing measurements. Having your wallet passively shuffle coins with thousands of other wallets ..
Feds aren’t looking for an exact match, just enough for probable cause. You put coins in, and the second they match you to any coins out that’s enough.
But if they get false positives for thousands of people what's the value in seeing that the coins came out from someone? I'm not talking about privacy after a single cashshuffle.
And it could be considered a common courtesy to return that money if asked by he sender and the message wasn't spam. Maybe even have a flag to request a return of money. Or prefix the msg with "KRC"..
... that you need to send them in order for your message to show up in their dashboard. That way you can avoid spam while determined people can still contact you.
Can't the send functionality be used to spam users that don't follow you? If so, perhaps users should be able to set a property on their profile that shows what's the minimum amount of currency
