I would mostly agree with you that current circuits are mix from the best parts of both versions of Tornado protocol.
I have decided to apply to Technical Innovation Awards category as right now I’m designing a circuits that would allow to deposit and withdraw multiple tokens with arbitrary amounts and check that amount and currency wasn’t amended by the sender, but as I see here there is possibility to be nominated later, so I think it would be fair to apply to general category right now and ask to re-evaluate it it once new circuits are implemented.
Thank you for you comment
