If people really want a privacy coin that removes any means of traceability, they would have to opt for coins based on the Zerocoin Protocol. This means of anonymous transacting breaks transaction links. However, Zerocoin transactions have to be made in fixed denominations and this limits real transactional use. Also, Zerocoins have to be minted from Basecoins prior to a transaction. Given the wait involved, most people just perform transactions with Basecoins; these are not anonymous payments.
