Repeated dishonesty from Samourai have barred them from ever receiving a payout from the bounty as far as I am concerned: I will not be signing a transaction paying them. Evaluating the privacy of systems is difficult even when the involved parties are honest and easy to work with, it is far too difficult when they are actively misleading.  Personally, I would urge my friends to not use that wallet.

As far as other stuff, there has been efforts in progress to do some awarding for a couple months now. It takes time to evaluate things and work with the recipients.  If it didn't this bounty would have been gone years ago when "darkwallet" demanded the whole thing then mobbed us with unreasonable demands (including public campaigning which was vigorous to the point of harassment) to pay it all to them when the result didn't provide the advertised privacy and didn't even stay available due to the operating model.

This makes sense and is reasonable. Thank you for updating us that you are still reviewing Wasabi and joinmarket for payouts.

In a sense I can of understand why you are hesitant as Wasabi doesn't allow coinjoining smaller amounts and is profit motivated(understandable considering what happened to darkwallet) benefiting the wallet and joinmarket while great has really lacking UX that wasabi excels at. Thus no ideal solution exists as of yet but we are getting better every month. My opinion doesn't matter as its your bounty to give but IMHO partial rewards should be given to wasabi and joinmarket and half withheld for future projects that creates a better mixing wallet.
