Re: WasabiWallet.io | Open-source, non-custodial Bitcoin Wallet for desktop
Guys, there is no need to argue about the details.
I know, but it's quite funny to see that stubborness. I mean, he is genuinely attempting to persuade us that having a surveillance company decide who deserves to gain privacy is the optimal privacy technique. I can't leave that shit unchallenged. 
One big question mark for me (PR-wise) is why they fight critics to the bone instead of answering their questions. As far as I know, that's not how you get people who worry about the security and privacy of your product, to try it out.. My advertised service doesn’t promote themselves as the solution to Bitcoin privacy, doesn’t claim it’s non custodial or trustless. They’re sincere and at this point I much rather use them than your sketchy software.
If they're sincere, then why are they requiring their customers to trust them with their funds in privacy instead of coordinating trustless noncustodial WabiSabi coinjoins? There's no excuse for them collecting the funds and data of their customers when WabiSabi allows them to provide trustless privacy to their customers.Please get it: no matter how often you repeat the words 'trustless privacy' and no matter how well that works for your usual audience, Bitcointalk isn't buying it.
I do believe they had the choice to be honest and tell their users they have to shut down & maybe start working on a new, decentralized product. But it seems like they chose to give in and start spying & censorship to be able to let the business continue as usual.
What is your design proposal for a new, decentralized privacy product? I'm open to suggestions.
I don't have to fix your product. If you want to run a successful privacy product, it's your job to make sure it actually preserves and improves privacy.Secondly; cancel all your contracts with blockchain analysis, authorities and whoever else is telling you to spy on users. Kill your central coordinator. Then build something without a central point of failure (technologically and organizationally).
What if:
Then get some if you are really that paranoid about testing for Sybil attacks.- I don't have private coins?
And does this mean I have to use a different Bitcoin privacy service, to be able to use your Bitcoin privacy service?
How do I even tell whether I have 'private coins' or not? Do you have a 'coin checker' tool? (not that I'd ever put my addresses in such thing..)
We've had this discussion so many times now; 'naughty' may seem like a fitting term for you but whatever is immoral and / or illegal to you, is not to many others globally - maybe even the majority of people.. The "optimal privacy technique" is called the WabiSabi protocol, which is open source and able to be used by anyone. "Having a surveillance company decide who deserves to gain privacy" is not a criticism of the WabiSabi protocol at all.
Cut the bullshit; we are obviously not criticizing Greg Maxwell's (!!!) 10-year-old idea of CoinJoin (which you're trying to rebrand to WabiSabi.. different story) right now, but the fact that you do pay a surveillance company to spy on your users. If you continue with these strawmans, you'll only make more of a fool of yourself than you already have.
