Old news, no longer relevant. See https://getmonero.org/2017/04/19/an-unofficial-response-to-an-empirical-analysis-of-linkability.html

Since you can easily deanonymize Monero, you should do the Monero tracking challenge.

There's going to be a fairly large prize for whoever can track it.

There already was one Monero tracking challenge and no solutions were submitted so they increased the prize.

/s this whole thread is FUD based on an outdated paper.

I don't feel like doing the math, but based on what the article states, it isn't 80% of all transactions. It says 62 percent of all transaction inputs with one or more mixins (whatever that is?) was vulnerable. And by how it's worded I beleive of that 62%, they could accurately identify 80% of those transactions with 1 or more mixins.
