A variety of correlations are detected in the Monero blockchain. The joint distribution of the time-since-last-transaction between elements of pairs of RingCTs is enhanced in comparison with the product of the marginal distributions. Similarly there is an enhancement in the joint distribution of the hour timestamps between the same pairs. Lastly, we find another enhancement when the correlation is measured between the hour timestamps of the transaction itself and the elements of the RingCTs. We calculate some adjustments to the probabilities of which input in a RingCT is real, providing an additional heuristic to denoising the Monero blockchain.
