  • Coinjoin feature: i found it strange to see the minimum amount to register for a coinjoin session is 0.05007 BTC... I for one am not going to risk >$300 (in fiat) to take a testrun of this wallet


Something to think about.

It might be safer to leave them alone. Tumbling with Coinjoin and mixers might mix your coins with the coins of criminals, black hat hackers, and dark market drug dealers.


That min limit's been coming down, from 0.1 BTC I believe, as more users join, the smaller the denomination possible if I understand.

There is the assumption that anyone seeking privacy with coinjoin and mixers are criminals and drug dealers... maybe throw in terrorists, blackmailers and kidnappers. It's a wrong assumption, and seeking privacy does not amount to criminality... But you're really not eliminating that risk of mixing coins with undesirable activity if you also use, say exchanges, casinos or trade P2P.

I've done all of that so would be really surprised if none of my coins are thus tainted.

Besides, just because you don't mix don't prevent anyone from dusting you with dirty satoshi.

But think about it, tumblers and coinjoins are not cheap, and who would be willing to pay for them to keep their privacy?

I believe an ordinary user would be digging himself into a bigger hole if he mixes his coins with what usually would be the criminals' coins.
