Re: What software exists to run a CoinJoin server? [Wasabi debacle]
The problem here is that other wallets will follow Wasabi's precedent, also voluntarily.
But again, does that really matter? There are always going to those who try to avoid taint. You'll know them IRL because they put on latex gloves when handling cash.
Sure, we could just use mixers and that would be the end of it, but we are trying to discourage this trend by demonstrating that actions hostile to the bitcoin community will be punished.
I wouldn't be so naive to believe that a that a mixer couldn't be in cahoots with the government. And again, how would we know? Mixers are centralized services. Any privacy, anonymity, and most importantly, safety that you get from a mixer is purely assumed. We must trust that the mixer will provide the services as promised. With the exception of privacy, there is no way to verify and validate the results.
I feel like I've written this word about 600 times over the past few days...
Okay, okay, JoinMarket, I got it.
I'll look into it, do my own research. Thank you.
