Taproot NACK



Summary:

The Bitcoin-dev mailing list has been discussing privacy concerns related to Bitcoin transactions. The initial email was from LORD HIS EXCELLENCY JAMES HRMH, who expressed concern that Taproot could enable obfuscation of transactions similar to Monero, potentially leading to government bans. However, another member pointed out that Taproot does not increase privacy beyond current techniques like coinjoin, payjoin, and lightning, and asked for a source on the claim.Interestingly, the email signature of LORD HIS EXCELLENCY JAMES HRMH included a link to a bitcoin mixer service, which prompted another member to question their motives. In response, LORD HIS EXCELLENCY JAMES HRMH explained their affiliation with the website and emphasized the importance of maintaining transparency in the blockchain while still allowing for privacy.In a separate email sent to the same mailing list, Mr. Damian A. James Williamson, who is associated with Willtech, provided contact information such as website links, phone number, and email. However, the email did not offer any general advice or information about Willtech's projects. It is unclear why Mr. Williamson sent the email or what his intentions were. The bitcoin-dev mailing list is hosted by the Linux Foundation.
