Historically, many SE tags have been inspired from Monero source code (see monero-wallet-cli, monero-wallet-gui, txpool and other examples).

I followed the conversation related to this pull request on Reddit and similarly would like to rename mixin to ring size ring-size on Stack Exchange.

The pull request referenced above only encompasses a visual change in the GUI aimed at making Monero terminology easier to understand for those that may misinterpret the meaning of mixin.

Before proposing a more drastic pull request removing mixin from all Monero source code why not test ring-size on Stack Exchange first to see how it is received?

I created a ring-size synonym for mixin. Going forward either tag can be used. I wont merge the tags until and unless we have reached broad consensus, but if ring-size grows in popularity on SE that could help signal to Monero developers that a more drastic pull request to remove "mixin" from the codebase would be well received.

Any thoughts on this?

Edit: I prefer ring size but also approved a decoys and possible-signers synonym based on community feedback.
