monero hasn't yet and likely won't so that's the kind of comment that paints you as entirely ignorant of the domain.

monero's an experiment, right?

fluffypony: ben_vulpes: that's precisely the current
Monero architecture
jurov: maybe
monero has it, dunno
mircea_popescu: 35 weeks of development (245 days) since
Monero was inherited by the Core Team 594 separate commits << inherited by whom ? how ? if that inherited had linked to a gpg signed testament...
mircea_popescu: aid at all, but we've put a significant amount of funds into
Monero)."
jurov: pity the
monero memory problem isn't resolved yet (keeps blockchain in memory, needs 30G)
davout: fluffypony: do you know a
monero executive summary?
fluffypony: maybe it's best to think of
Monero as something like Freicoin - an experiment in creating something usable and useful
fluffypony: pubkeys) thus breaking compatibility with every existing application, and then enforce the standard for some time before the utxoset is sufficiently large to allow for a measurable level of privacy (see MRL-0001 on lab.
monero.cc as to why this is true)
