so it's not like blockchain where if you know the realid of addresses you can follow where the coins go.

from first glance i was curious about this aspect. if a connection exists, the end points are known or unknown? if they are known and there is a db of endpoints to realids then these know endpoints are no longer anonymous...

i get that the content is unknowable due to encryption - that's fine. the endpoint identification though, seems pretty cool if this is truly anonymous.
