Which is why I suggest JoinMarket, since it is the closest thing we have to fully decentralized coinjoins at present.
How usable is JoinMarket nowadays?  I tried using it about an year ago and I could not even get past the installation process without difficulties.  Failed miserably on multiple Linux devices.  Then I could not get it running properly so I just gave up and continued using Wasabi instead, until this blacklist.

Then, I was informed it hadn't started blacklisting. How didn't they want the users' reviews afterwards?  Roll Eyes
You know what, this is a very interesting outlook.  Silently announce the blacklisting, let us all pull off our rant posts and then agree with a review campaign before actually implementing blacklists but AFTER they became public knowledge and guesswork.  Anyone an year from the moment blacklists are introduced that will be checking out the history of these blacklists will think we were just crazy conspiracy people.

I don't think most of those have taken the time to read what we've debunked here. I don't cross my fingers they even know that the default coordinator will start blacklisting certain inputs in the future, despite us talking about it since March.
I do not think most of those have even taken their time to know what Wasabi is all about.  And this is generally speaking, not particularly about Wasabi's campaign.  I am willing to bet on anything that more than half of the applications were users who rolled in particularly due to the high payout.  Remember there was (or maybe still is, I do not know since I have all participants on ignore) a scam Casino with a ton of users willing to roll in for a signature payment just due to high promised payouts.  There are these kind of people in the world, we are actually flooded by them.  And it must suck for campaign managers, I think it is extremely hard to find a number of users that are actually good posters and not just copycats.

And then, I have to guess many Signature Campagin participants prefer to only check out the boards they will be paid to post in, and some of these boards such as Technical Discussions require more brain processes and thoughts than simple boards such as Bitcoin Discussions do so their thinking is, why waste half an hour for a basic post when I can write a post in less than 5 minutes.

Also, while I say this is just guesswork on my side, it becomes more and more evident the more you sit on this forum.  Otherwise, this thread would be flooded by many users that are not Chip Mixer campaign participants or well known users of the forum.  Unfortunately, and you probably know about this much more and better than I do, many of the users active today on the forum are here for the same reasons theymos introduced the Merit system.
