IMO privacy its something developers should make sure users have it. Also, I think, todays SPV wallets should make users more aware of the possible privacy implications. Do users know, if they pay for a good in a shop while consuming the shops WIFI, that the shop-owner as well as the ISP can use that data to combine it with the user profile (and ~ALL FUTURE purchases you do with the same wallet IN ANY LOCATION online or in-person)? Do users know, that ISPs (cellular; including Google) can completely link the used Bitcoin wallet (again: all purchase including future ones) with the to the ISP well known user profile including credit-card data and may sell the Bitcoin data to any other data mining company? If you use BIP37, you basically give your transaction history (_ALL TRANSACTIONS_ including transactions in future) to everyone. > > From a regular user's point of view, privacy is non-issue.

This may be true because they are not aware of the ramification and I don’t think client side filtering is a drop-in replacement for todays, smartphone SPV-model. /jonas
