I’ve never used a parachute personally. They’re pretty inconvenient, have to be set up exactly right in order to work, and can expose you to pretty serious danger if not. That said, I’m sure they’re extremely useful for those in niche situations in which they may apply.
Lol, appreciate it. Thought it was somewhat apt, though not perfect.
On topic, I do agree with you to an extent. The lack of point-of-sale implementation will always be the greatest pitfall of something like Monero. Of course, many store fronts have no desire to easily facilitate truly anonymous transactions, whether for legal reasons, customer data collection, or otherwise.
The idea of complete anonymity is alluring, but not really achievable in most cases as things currently stand. Having said that, don’t let the dream of absolute perfection get in the way of progress, it is still a useful tool regardless and can provide a degree of anonymity in situations where you would otherwise have none.
