Re: Petition to remove Wasabi from recommendations of bitcoin.org
Because BTC is decentralized, there is no official website or place of information where you can be 100% certain that the info you get is directly from the BTC network, it's not possible because there is no central authority.
I never said there is an official website for Bitcoin. I only said bitcoin.org is the place where most beginners learn what is Bitcoin and how to start using it.
The admin of bitcoin.org is surely aware of Wasabi's latest mess and censorship, and if they decide to make a change it will be up to them, there's no need to email them in my honest opinion.
I think they need to read some feedback from the Bitcoin community. They may also have not done the same research as some users in this forum, me included.
But, there is no reason for them not to list the wallet.
There are reasons.
- Wasabi team have been caught lying frequently, which makes them not trustworthy. I can point you to some examples if you want.
- They advertise themselves as the best solution to Bitcoin privacy issues, and simultaneously partner with a mass surveillance company, which is hypocritical for obvious reasons.
- They have been caught doxxing their competitors (Samurai team).
- Their software has also been caught to reusing addresses, which is unforgivable for a project that aims to preserve privacy.
Bitcoin.org is also open source and the way to suggest changes is like any other open source software, it is by opening a new issue on their github page that can be found here:

Thank you. I will create an issue and/or pull a request.
Maybe worth pointing out that Wasabi now apparently automatically starts coinjoining everything, charging you a fee to be spied on, whether you want it to or not: https://nitter.net/DiracDel/status/1672294717193859074

If people fail to use Bitcoin privately by default we have inadvertently created the most extensive mass surveillance system in history.
So, if people fail to use Wasabi which funds the operation of mass surveillance and which can prevent some people from coinjoining (as the top fungibility protocols do), they will have created the most extensive mass surveillance system in history.
