That is a lengthy story.. We basically forked the Tor protocol and decentralised it. This makes it Bittorrent friendly, offer end-2-end crypto, and would scale to Internet-wide usage. We're planning to port our deployed Python Tor-stack towards Kotlin for the Superapp and Trustchain.

Thanks, my question was most inline with comments here about double spend.

Detecting double spend is easy as you said, but I am curious about the consequences.

Will this system will be somehow connected to real IDs? Who will in the network will have access to this data?

If so what is the process hiding my real ID from my identifier? I did shopping at the market, what will prevent them to see my all spending history?

If it is not connected to real ID somehow, what is preventing me to create a new identity?

That is the golden question. How anonymous will the upcoming digital Euro be?

Politicians and European Central Bank will decide on this soon. Delft University has tested out technology which could offer equal privacy as cash money. Will this be legal?
