How will the temporal output alignment of ring partners (mixins) be addressed?
The Issue: If you only own outputs in a short span of blocks and you spend them, the mixin partners (the fake outputs / ring partners) will be different for each of the outputs and have a blockchain temporal pattern that suggests which inputs are…

How is the Monero wallet picking outputs for transactions to spend?
It seems like there are a lot of things to take into account for which outputs in a wallet to spend to preserve privacy. Preventing temporal alignments etc. Is there a lot of code for picking? How does it work?

Ring signatures and the long view
Imagine the Monero blockchain has been around for decades. It is incredibly massive and the total number of outputs far exceeds the rate of new outputs being created. Can obfuscation acquired by the ring signature technique decline to useless…

I have a few more questions about sub-addresses, sorry to bother you guys with it, but it's just a bit new to me to get used to the new features.
People said that "accounts" are just user selected groupings of addresses, and have also said that…
