Software doesn't run on intentions
Coordinators apparently do. I don't question Wasabi wallet for being bad software per se (although I do have concerns as mentioned repeatedly about address reuse etc.), I question the intentions of the developers who run the coordinator, which I must comply with if I need to use it.

So use a different coordinator or run your own:

I've read most of the posts/replies towards Kruw, and I think that everyone is making too much commotion over nothing but a trade-off taken by a group of developers, who, believes that the best path forward for Wasabi Wallet is to make the centralized coordinator block outputs from nefarious sources. The solution, in my personal opinion is, fork the coordinator and have it accept all outputs from all sources.

Yep.  Anyone who feels brave enough to copy and paste the coordinator code can do so.  Others have already because they actually care about what they are saying: https://t.me/WasabiWallet/70611


You make it sound as everything is transparent, while that's false. I have absolutely no manner to verify which outputs you consider inappropriate, and according to which standard.

Why does it matter if you can't verify the registration standards of the coordinator?  As a maker in Joinmarket, you can't verify the standards of the coordinator either. The only thing that can happen to you if your input is considered inappropriate is it stays in the same address it started in without being linked to any of your other addresses. 

Since Wasabi is a non custodial wallet, there is no way to prevent users from sending to an address twice.
But Wasabi picks addresses automatically. Is this correct?

Each client does, yes. This will obviously cause address generation collision if the same seed is used on two clients asynchronously, since the clients are not aware of the automatic activities performed by each other.  This is why all critics of address reuse in Wasabi can only ever show evidence of a transaction that took place, not evidence of a bug that exists in the open source code.  I happily encourage anyone to review and scrutinize the code to verify that Wasabi will not automatically reuse an address: https://github.com/zkSNACKs/WalletWasabi

Now that you have confirmed the answer to your question was "No", answer my original question:
Not yet. I haven't done my analysis to this. I generally don't spend hours on verifying every privacy-preserving software. I just stick with tested, peer-reviewed software, running in a decentralized fashion, and avoid pro-censorship and anti-fungibility software which is subjected to arbitrary ethic rules, and whose developers outright lie in front of me. It's a good life choice, and it has worked so far without issues.

Stop stalling.  Just give me the tx id of your most private Joinmarket coinjoin.
