Just as Samourai were right on the money a few weeks ago when they
tweeted about AOPP, they are right on the money again with their tweets regarding this nonsense from Wasabi:
https://nitter.net/SamouraiWallet/status/1503389170672226308By bending the knee to reg overreach instead of fiercely fighting, especially when you have the resources to do so effectively, you tacitly accept and endorse that overreach and the next one. Give an inch and they'll take several miles.
This says exactly what I said in my post above. If they are willing to comply with this, there is no telling what they will be willing to comply with next. Instead of fighting this tooth and nail, Wasabi are rolling over and selling out their users. Even if this change from Wasabi won't affect any of your inputs, they are no longer an entity which I can trust to fight for my privacy.
Would it be possible for some to start running coordinators?
Absolutely. The coordinator code is open source, so anyone can download it and spin up their own instance. That would solve the immediate problem if everyone switched to a different coordinator, but it doesn't stop that coordinator being pressured in to implementing the same restrictions and it doesn't change the fact that Wasabi did this in the first place instead of fighting against it.
