I personally love Dash. One thing that was a requirement for me was that privacy in the system can't be optional if you want to give system-wide guarantees about the privacy of the system. That is to say, non-privacy-protecting transactions weaken the privacy of correlated privacy-protecting transactions. Second, I don't personally think CoinJoin goes far enough, specifically there's still a transaction graph to analyze. MobileCoin does not have a transaction graph which is a distinguishing factor from other cryptocurrencies. Finally, other privacy coins have implemented encrypted ledgers (see CryptoNote), which is something MobileCoin has; to the best of my recollection CoinJoin does actually have an encrypted ledger which is a big distinguishing factor. In order for users to recover transactions from an encrypted ledger, you need an encrypted recovery service which, again to the best of my knowledge, no one had ever invented. This is where Fog comes in, which allows fast mobile recovery of user transactions even in an encrypted ledger (https://github.com/mobilecoinfoundation/fog).
In general you seem right though: This seems like a more obviously major milestone for the feature (so clients can start implementing): https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Server/commit/39c09733d331b818ebdd67ea0430316b2bff91f0
Whats more concerning is they seem to have worked on a totally private branch for the payments stuff and then did two big history-flattening squash merges on android: https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Android/commit/fddba2906ab3437f253b85da91f3aa261733d5d2 https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Android/commit/c42023855b1eb8abb669da1856f8377457a0edf1 No sane developer is committing 20k changes in one commit -- its definitely from a private portion of the repo, so yeah, it does seem as though they were hiding it.
