If only there was a way to avoid bitcoins traceability problem? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=770.msg9074#msg9074

Ah, from satoshi himself! Group signatures. I wonder if someone implemented a protocol that does this?

Is that widely used? There's a world of difference between "theoretically possible" and "commonly used", and I'm not familiar enough to know which this is.
monero implements the cryptonote protocol (with some additional innovations of its own) and as far as I can tell, it's pretty widely used https://bitinfocharts.com/comparison/monero-transactions.htm...
