Is monero traceable anymore?

I read in the news that monero was traceable, to june of 2017..... then edward snowden suggested zcash, but zcash can be traced 30% of the time... anyway, has monero been updated so it can't be traced anymore?.

thanks.

that flaw is old and has been patched. monero has a bounty if you can track it

Nah the community already responded to the transaction likability report (April so idk if this is same thing you asking about).

It's pretty dayum anonymous if you ask me :P

Good luck to LE trying to link any transactions

Ehm no, that is not true. Only until Januari 2017 and then only if you used the wrong settings. Monero is perfectly fine.

Snowden is not a cryptographer. There are other reasons to avoid ZCash: it is a US company that has shown a willingness to work with law enforcement and the coin supply cannot be audited (anyone with the secret key can make coins).
