"There was some FUD that was spread while we were at PorcFest last week about ... there were some people that were claiming, you know, that the Zano network had been ... uh ... there had been a privacy breach and that somehow they were able to deduce whose wallets, who owned what wallets. And it's completely false ... So in essense, the only thing you have to understand is that it's a function of the design of all these, you know, privacy coins where, you know, you need to use a VPN. So, if you're not using a VPN, I mean, there still is kind of a medata issue with respect to using privacy coins ... But what they were trying to claim as well, there were able to look at this metadata and because people are staking crypto, they were making the claim that you could figure out based on the amount of reward tied to IP addresses how many coins somebody is likely to have. But the truth is, that's not even true either because it's not like they were looking at a single IP address. They were looking at a shared IP address that many people may have been using. So there really, it really was a gigantic nothing burger ..."

The most important part of our research is that it is possible to create an overall picture of who controls how much, even if the Proof of Stake is private at the protocol level. Additionally, the spy node operator now has even more reasons to monitor the network. Keep in mind that the monthly budget for this experiment was only $150. Anyone can repeat the process with an improved setup, calculating the balances more precisely, taking into account the change in block difficulty and by running more nodes. We are, however, no longer interested in that or in anything related to Zano.
