does it mean Chainalysis cracked Monero?
The bounty was for XMR and Lightning Network, and Chainanalysis now "support" (so able to trace) Lightning.
No mention of XMR as far as I know.
I will quote the end of the Reddit post, as I agree with the author:
I haven't found any followups on those contract IDs listing whatever results were finally delivered, but if Chainalysis had tackled Monero and succeeded, I believe they would have blogged about it and advertised it as an offering to their customers. They haven't done so.
crazy stuff as the fight between government vs crypto continues that why they stretches their arms to regulate platforms beyond their jurisdiction.
Yeah, and it's not going to get any better. Even for BTC, for example, American pools and some Asian ones are starting to impose KYC on miners. We can quickly imagine a scenario where some blocks are "compliant" and others are not....
That's why XMR is a safe bet imo.
