Re: Wasabi blacklisting update - open letter / 24 questions discussion thread
As for CoinJoin, I'm still on the fence about it. Same with JoinMarket, tbh. I don't mind using ChipMixer for some things, but usually I rely on Monero to break the link between me and my coins.
That's not a dependency on coins, but a dependency on the exchange that sells the coins to you.
After all, you're not sending an obfuscated Monero transaction, but a regular one that has a bunch of dummy inputs baked in. Authorities that know the source and destination exchange should not have any trouble following the link from source to destination (and hence find your new BTC coins).
I use a p2p exchange that leaves a light footprint, but it's certainly not infallible. Regardless, if they want go through all that trouble just to find out that I pay my taxes, at least I didn't make it easy on them.
