Alternative to creating identity containers: Just never merge heterogenous inputs #131

Open kristovatlas opened 8 years ago

kristovatlas commented 8 years ago

Relevant attack:

Link identities by observing that addresses associated with both identities are used as inputs in the same transaction

1 Countermeasure:

void constructing transactions that contain inputs from more than one identity/account

This would be a new countermeasure

This came up in discussion with @dcousen about how coinswaps could avoid merging heterogenous inputs in a single tx in relation to #44
