privacy

What is your reasoning for this unpopular opinion?

I want privacy and the freedom to do what I want, when I want, and where I want as long as I am harming no one. Why is that so much to ask? $ANON

an eth L2 privacy pool would need centralized sequencers

a btc zk sidechain has worse problems. drivechain unlikely to be implemented

zcash moving to pos (less sell pressure), elastic subnet on avalanche, halving coming up, etc. currently just above atl. staying listed on cex

privacy in general has been undervalued.

what's the issue with sequencers if they are trustless and can be bypassed during censorship?

A doodler and computerer. I like permissive/permissionless open source, smart contracts, p2p systems, room-scale VR, and NixOS.

Sure, but why isn't it a decentralized L2? Having a primary or shared sequencer that is trustless (can't lie) and can be bypassed (in case of censorship or regulatory pressure) does not make it strictly centralized, right?

a centralized L2 is more susceptible to regulatory pressure. same thing as a smart contract like tc

a decentralized L1, especially with some legal precedent to operate, like zcash, is much harder to stomp out.
