These sections had numerous issues:

Weren't written in third person
Weren't written with authoritative wikipedia "style"
Basically unsourced, citing sources that mentioned text in passing but didn't mention the text itself
(therefore original research)
Information about atomic swaps felt misleading, it hasn't been released, doesn't seem to ever have been planned in Wraith Protocol
Privacy section seemed full of fluff and read like advertising
Privacy section seemed to go on about Tor unnecessarily
Both sections seemed redundant

In light of this, I have basically chucked them and re-written the text in the wikipedia style, fully sourced.

This page may benefit from a history section. The price sentence in the header is really no longer relevant and better suits a history section.

TL;DR: WP:BOLD
