Plus with WasabiWallet, what's the point of being a honey pot? They block transactions from "nefarious sources", and no user from the Darknet Markets, Ransomware Market, or holders of stolen outputs would be stupid to go tumble them through Wasabi.



Because we are now in a place where if we want privacy, we are surely trying to hide something. That's how the ruling classes look at those seeking privacy. Why can't you be more like the rest of the 99% of population that doesn't mind that we (your government) looks into everything you do? Since you are trying to break the history of your coins, we (the caring government) must keep an eye on you. We only do that as a fight against terrorism, money laundering, and because it's a national security issue, obviously.


I'm confused. Are you trying to say that Wasabi is a honey pot simply because it wants to follow its "law-abiding" users' transactions? Using that debate as a premise, but the government could also set up a mixer/tumbler of their own and follow both "bad" users and "law-abiding" users' transactions. Their attention would be to those who could act as a real threat against them, no?

Plus I believe Wasabi blocks transactions from nefarious sources as an accepted trade-off to avoid "mix-ups" with the government. They are rejecting a source of good revenue by blocking those transactions.
