@svamiva not trying to be insulting, but did you actually read the whitepaper?
Individual VIVA transactions have always been default private. That was one of the primary defining characteristics.
The whole point of a project which wants to call itself a "blockchain project" is to make these things transparent.
Blockchain is about distributed consensus in the aggregate and cryptographic guarantees in regards to ordering of messages and data integrity, that's it.
It has nothing to with making everyone's private business public, frankly the fact you can see another person's balance here on steemit and tie it to a real identity is one of the reasons I started the viva project in the first place. That's just creepy to me to look in and see someone's wallet uninvited. It's not anybody's business, who you transact with, what you purchase, nor how much you personally have liquid at the moment. Making that information public makes you a target for robbery, kidnapping, extortion, you name it.
Furthermore, the VIVA blockchain has always been about occluding all but the minimum amount of information required to come to consenus. The two items we agree on that is the quantity of coin in circulation, i.e. with which mints is it stored and the price per unit of coin. That's it, the consensus model requires nothing else.
This is because it was originally designed to handle medical records and only later was the concept expanded to more generalized things such as financial information. But the same tech that prevents you from seeing who has colon cancer, also prevents you from seeing who got paid, but it does not preclude them from seeing that they got paid. It also allows you to see the aggregate of who got what votes, but prevents you from honing on any specific voter, while still allowing the individual voter to verify that their vote counted.
We are neither unique nor alone in this. You can't see the private details of a monero transaction nor a zcash transaction and there are hundreds of other privacy focused coins too.
So I'm sorry, but your premise is just wrong.
That's why I've mentioned bankruptcy in the first instance. As a creditor I might get pennies for $, but at least I would know then where the rest of the money went.
Here you wouldn't get that and for exactly the reason you just mentioned. With that information you could try to retaliate against other creditors and the bankruptcy process here is about settling the debt, not anything else.
So if it were to go to bankruptcy, you'd get a list showing what assets are held, what assets are owed to us by others and what the liquidated value of those assets would be. You would also see where you stand in a rather lengthy line of creditors, 1225 last I counted.
If you'd like to press it you're more than welcome to try, there's a federal bankruptcy court in Cheyenne Wyoming. But to my mind it's just a distraction.
You're entitled to your own information, you're not entitled to anyone else's. I'm sorry you've been mislead by less advanced tech, but this was all laid out rather explicitly in the whitepaper.
Your desire to keep information "who did what and when" private only indicates there is something to hide.
No it means I have a legal obligation to keep customer information confidential unless they explicitly opt in. Therefore if someone else's information were disclosed to you it would be breaking the law.
Steemit can be very well private if you keep one account for social interaction, another(or many) for other purposes and do not tie both together.
When Steemit Inc CEO have desided to do it otherways it was his own private choice, but the market is definetly evaluating this choice.
In the current situation I do expect the VHL team to make the same choice. You want to keep "private" where the funds credited to VHL by CH is gone, keep "private", where the funds deposited on TQ is gone, but at the same time expect to
Thats not how things are working. To hand over new shiny williamcoins is not enough to
Anyway, quoting from a @vivacoin post from a few month ago
What was the purpose of
these questions ?
Wasn't it
Oh well done, I forgot about the questions!
