Will greater privacy-providing features (e.g. ring signatures, confidential transactions) come to Bitcoin? Are any devs working on features like this? What is the consensus on making Bitcoin more anonymous/private?

Does the community feel it is something we should do as soon as we can do it right, or will this topic require significant debate?

There are other cryptocurrencies out there now that focus on this aspect (Monero, Dash) and I, personally, do not see any reason to keep the innovation of privacy-aware features in the altcoin space.

On a similar note, if we can discuss this here as well, why did Ethereum not opt for a more privacy-oriented implementation?
