I don’t know yet. VPN helps or you can still use POS or LN address to receive. But future is unknown and not pleasant for normies.
Proposed Spark has very very bad privacy as of now. Basically anyone who pays you can read your whole transaction history. But it can be improved.
- It doesn’t seem sufficiently explored. When I tried to understand it, it felt like transaction trees keep growing and can’t be merged together.
- The WoS implementation reuses the same address. Anyone who pays you once can read your entire transaction history.
- I’m worried about centralization. Overall, I have the impression that it lacks a bit of honesty - it doesn’t have good documentation, yet it’s already in production in several applications that charge fees for it.
But these are more impressions than solid conclusions… I’ll need to study it more thoroughly.
