Leo is pointing out obvious issues (like everyone else here) and I don't even know if he's a developer.
Damn it Jim! I'm a doctor, not a developer!
Ohh right Mr. McCoy, you're a doctor, you repeat it so much!
I believe the idea is that if you use Wasabi, and they have the same 'source for taint definitions' as the centralized exchanges; then whatever was accepted by zkSnacks, will also be accepted by the exchange.
Maybe. Maybe not. Some exchanges accept gambled coins, some don't. Some exchanges accept mixed coins, some don't. Some exchanges accept coinjoined coins, some don't. It's a complete toss of the coin. Using Wasabi first does not guarantee your coins will be accept by any given centralized exchange by any means.
Right; I was trying to give them the benefit of the doubt and trying to come up with
some plausible use case. As you can tell, I don't use such centralized entities so I could only guess, but I was wrong. Thanks for clearing that up!
Wooow that's some next-level shit right there! They want us to trust a centralized coordinator that openly and voluntarily works with Chainalysis, just as much as we trust the most secure, open and decentralized project in the world?
As we discussed previously in regards to the single candle picture, all of Wasabi's core team seem to have delusions of grandeur about the status of their wallet.
The way they speak and the things they say, do make it seem that way, I'd tend to agree. For instance, when asked / challenged about advantages over Monero, as it's a direct competitor to their product, they should know
exactly how it works and be able to explain how their product is better. If it's not, and the only advantage is that you can use BTC without swaps, they should honestly say so. But it appeared to me they actually didn't even thoroughly read about Monero (neither did I - but again I'm not a developer for a Bitcoin privacy solution).
Also note the next thing he says here:
Any sort of, you know, malicious or unfair thing would, would be, you know, openly discussed
So openly discussed that we will deliberately not mention it even once on our website, and indeed put a bunch of info in to our FAQs to make it sound like we would never do such a thing.

Good spot! I heard it too, but already had so many quotes.
