What Hacker News says?
- Fungibility is broken when you have optional privacy--also stuff like this happens http://jeffq.com/blog/on-the-linkability-of-zcash-transactio... -No one but the participants should trust a trusted setup, and even then, it's only if they can vouch for their OPSEC. - B goes to my point that Green is inept as that should have been where they started. - And they were cordial after they talked through the issues and…

HN discussion> Its main competitor, Zcash -- which isn’t known to have a significant criminal following -- can offer even better privacy protection .
