That's BS. Here is a list from Grok for X ways to have privacy without using a money laundering tool like Tornado Cash: X. Set up multiple wallet addresses via a centralized exchange (CEX): Deposit your crypto to a CEX account, then withdraw portions to different new wallet addresses you control. This breaks the direct blockchain link as withdrawals come from the exchange's pooled funds, though it requires KYC compliance and relies on the exchange's internal privacy handling. X. Enhance the CEX method with privacy-focused exchanges: Use no-KYC or privacy-friendly exchanges where possible, or chain multiple CEX transfers across different platforms to further obscure trails, while being aware of potential regulatory reporting. X. Use Monero (XMR): A privacy-focused cryptocurrency that employs ring signatures, stealth addresses, and confidential transactions to make all transactions private by default, obscuring sender, receiver, and amount details for enhanced anonymity in online crypto activities. X. Use Zcash (ZEC): Offers optional shielded transactions powered by zk-SNARKs (zero-knowledge proofs) to hide transaction metadata while allowing selective transparency if needed, providing flexible privacy for web-based crypto interactions. X. Use Dash (DASH): Utilizes the PrivateSend feature, which mixes coins through a decentralized network of masternodes to break transaction links and enhance privacy for online payments and transfers.Use Verge (XVG): Integrates Tor and I2P for network-level anonymity alongside stealth addressing, allowing private transactions without relying on mixing services. X. Use Pirate Chain (ARRR): A privacy coin that mandates zk-SNARKs for all transactions, offering stronger default anonymity than Zcash by shielding all data without optional transparency.Use Horizen (ZEN): Features sidechains with zk-SNARKs for private transactions and messaging, enabling shielded transfers for enhanced privacy in decentralized applications. X. Use Beam: Leverages the Mimblewimble protocol to provide confidential transactions by default, combining and pruning transaction data for improved privacy and scalability in crypto usage.Use Grin: A Mimblewimble-based coin that focuses on privacy through confidential transactions and no reusable addresses, making it suitable for anonymous web-based crypto exchanges. X. Use EPIC Cash: A Mimblewimble-based privacy coin that ensures no sensitive data is stored on the blockchain, providing secure and private transactions similar to cash.Conduct atomic swaps: Exchange non-private coins for privacy coins like Monero or Zcash via decentralized protocols, allowing cross-chain privacy without intermediaries or traceable history.
