The only positive thing that we, as mere plebs who have nothing to hide but also want a private cold-storage, can get from this is there's some assurance that if you want a CoinJoin without the risk of "taint", Wasabi can be the tool for you. North Korean hackers or Mr. Heroine Dealer should find another tool.

That's the wrong path, buddy. We should use, accept and spend 'tainted coins', because Bitcoin being fungible is one of its most important properties.
If you start trying to get 'coins without risk of taint', you're starting to play after someone's arbitrarily set rules and not after Bitcoin's rules.


It was just practically speaking ser. If you read my posts, I have always debated that "taint" doesn't exist in the blockchain. But because some exchanges refuse to accept your deposits because of "taint", I believe for plebs like us, it's better to avoid further problems regarding "taint".
If your exchange won't accept your 'tainted deposit', don't use that exchange. Simple as that.
I generally don't recommend centralized exchanges; if you use Bisq, there will be no 'taint issues'. If you do want to use a centralized one however, recently Kraken started accepting LN deposits and withdrawals. Lightning very effectively hides the origin / history of UTXOs, so I'm very happy to see this happen.
