 I dislike shitcoins all day every day, but after watching your video (and reading the post) - the presented details do not match the claims made...? I don't understand the logic behind determining decoys and the robustness of doing so from your demo video.

 Which claim doesn't match? A lot of people seem to be assuming, wrongly, that this is a *fully automated* tracing tool. It's not. Most of it is manual. 
 Yeah it gives the impression that it is a relatively easy or automated way to trace and deanonymize monero transactions, which isn't the case.

There is nothing new here..

 Its a great way to keep track of ALL that *off-chain data* you've been collecting on Monero txs πŸ˜‚

and it'll tell you if some inputs are suspiciously old.

very low bar for "tracing tool"

 Every ring contains at least one old tx bt default IIRC

 Then help me fix it please

I'd like it to be up to par with the ciphertrace tool that inspired me

I'm sure they have a lot more data to work with but I suspect you can get pretty far with on chain heuristics and maybe it's not that hard to source whatever off chain data ciphertrace is using

 I would be very interested to help out with this tool if you weren't using it pedantically to push your stupid agenda of FUDing the protections monero provides.

it's a block explorer.
