Dust Attacks: How can they be used to compromise privacy?
I was reviewing my wallet activity and I came across a dust UTXO. I did some Googling and I still don't quite understand how dusting wallets can compromise privacy. I read a couple of articles about how the attacker will watch wallet activities to establish patterns. Why dust is necessary since the ledger is public? What can I do to prevent "spillage" of my personal info regarding this dust attack? I'm considering a new wallet but without a mixer that wouldn't matter. I don't have any experience with mixers but I'd definitely like to learn. submitted by /u/SecularAdventure [link] [comments]
