Hey, you already took a bite at this apple! now you want to do it again? Why not just update your other post.

There is very little overlap between respected cryptography researchers and bitcoin developers.

Ok, and what does that have to do with Monero? Monero IS NOT BITCOIN

I don’t know a deanonymization attack on Monero.

Thank you for EXPLICTLY stating that. That is the only reason why half the people in this thread are responding you to. We don't care if you like Monero, we just care if you knew about an attack that we didn't know about.

Even if there was no currently known deanonymization attack, that would not mean that a deanonymization attack is impossible for everyone and for all time.

Hey! We finally agree on something. This goes into your threat model and use. Most people wont care if their remittances can be cracked 5-10 years into the future. If someone had a very sensitive threat model, they would have to be far more careful.
