Posting this because the summary going around does not say what the paper says, and the difference matters for how people here are using it.
The trade-off is reversibility against privacy and there is no option that gives you both. Card payments are reversible and disclose the most; crypto discloses least and is irreversible, which is precisely why pressure toward it is a warning sign when it comes from a seller rather than a buyer. Escrow only means anything where the escrow agent is independent of both parties, which is rarely the case in practice.
Where I think it is weakest: the follow-up is short relative to how long people actually take these drugs, so durability is an assumption here rather than a finding.
The narrow version of the question is how people are thinking about the trade-off between reversibility and privacy, because you cannot have both. Numbers rather than impressions, if you have them.

No disagreement, though it depends on where somebody is starting from, and this thread has been assuming a starting point nobody stated.

This is where I part company with the consensus forming above. The objection nobody has made: this only works if the measurement is doing what we assume it is doing, and that assumption has not been tested here.

Adding a me-too, because a thread of one person's experience is not much use. Nothing to add that would improve it.
