If it were up to me it would be in the constitution that everyone has the right to euthanasia and suicide with no conditions. At first i thought it seems like a completely unrelated issue to the death penalty. After thinking about it more maybe you have a point. Society will likely never get over the taboo of enabling suicide so i suppose it can be seen as a lesser moral evil to kill someone rather than subject them to life imprisonment under suicide watch. Interesting moral questions

I dont think that's how dandelion++ works; one of us is mistaken. In any network topology, I think it is possible that in the first step of the stem phase the transaction is propagated only from N1 to N2. It will be impossible for the other nodes to know if that happened or not, so they can't know whether N1 or N2 transmitted the transaction first. I could be mistaken but this is how i understand it.

I agree with what you say about the threshold.

What proportion of nodes? There are papers that analyse it but I haven't read closely or found a clear answer.

I suppose even if they controlled all but 2 nodes - the extreme case - even then they couldn't know with certainty which of the 2 nodes sent the transaction, so it could be argued that there is always plausible deniability.

Easily possible, here for example: https://shopinbit.com/Toilet-Roll-Seda-PH-Neutro-Foxy-6-uds/...

Yes, in the Chainalysis video they say clearly that Dandelion++ is very effective so they have no confidence in IP addresses collected in those cases. You need to be foolish enough to directly connect to a malicious node while using your home IP, which obviously will leak the IP. I think a lot of people are just confused by the video because they go through examples that seem very 'constructed' and unrealistic. I mean, this is all very well known information to monero users and I can't believe anyone would be doing important transactions without using their own node and/or I2P/Tor etc
