And the others tend to already blacklist mixed funds as a whole (which is utterly stupid), or go by "shades of gray" (I don't know how to say it better) and by the rule "the stream's water can be considered clean if it went over 7 stones" (again, I don't know how to say it better and more concise).
Which is another good point as to why blacklisting is just plain wrong, in addition to the point I made above in which it is all based on guesswork. What happens if I combined a tainted input with a clean input in the same transaction? What about a tainted input with 100 clean inputs? Are all the outputs still tainted? Are they all 1% tainted? What about if a tainted input moves through 5 transactions? What about 100? What about 1,000? Is it still tainted? When does it become clean again? We've been able to trace some stolen coins to Binance. Does that mean the entirety of Binance's hot wallet is tainted? Or does the taint magically disappear once Binance have touched the coins?
Go far enough in to the future, and
every bitcoin in active circulation will be tainted in some way or another.
Blacklisting is arbitrary nonsense based on provably false assumptions, and it is an affront to bitcoin.
Maybe we, as community, should start boycotting the services who don't go by 1BTC=1BTC.
I've advocated this for a long time, and I will continue to do so. Wasabi is just the latest to be added to the list.
Is anyone really surprised at the answers? They did what they did and now are forced to defend their actions.
Not at all. As I said above, Wasabi know fine well what they are doing is shitty, and they also know fine well that continuing to try to justify their shitty actions is also shitty. But it makes them money, so they don't care.
