The privacy feature is what has separated Monero from other crypto. It has been used for money laundering, darknet markets, ransomware, along with normal legal activities too. Three of the 5 largest dark web markets use Monero. The Obfuscation process works like this: outputs are grouped with decoy outputs as seen below. The zero-knowledge proof method guarantees a transaction occured without revealing its value. Recipients are protected through addresses generated by users to receive funds, but they are untraceable to the sender or observers. Monero also obscures the IP address of devices that are transacting.</p> <p><a href="https://preview.redd.it/kh8fdn1j1nua1.jpg?width=1000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b9572801e516f958a0eaaad296773eedc37eb091">https://preview.redd.it/kh8fdn1j1nua1.jpg?width=1000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b9572801e516f958a0eaaad296773eedc37eb091</a></p> <p>This has attracted the attention of the IRS, they have placed multiple bounties for anyone that can find a way to track Monero.
