Hi alicexbt
What do you mean by "replacement transaction"? Replacing or swapping outputs with a counterparty's?
I guess I'm struggling to understand exactly what you are attempting to achieve here with regards to privacy and if this additional protocol complexity is worth it. Recall a 2 (or n) party coinjoin would get you an output where it isn't clear to blockchain observers which output you control and a coinswap [0] would have you taking the coin history of your counterparty. What does this scheme offer with regards to privacy that those don't? This seems to have more complexity too though I maybe misunderstanding something.
Thanks
Michael
