Re: WasabiWallet.io | Open-source, non-custodial Bitcoin Wallet for desktop
Now, Kruw, hold up! You are about to write: 'But but but you can run your own coordinator!!'. I know.
It should be easy to understand how that's a stupid answer to address our concerns.
1) Any other user connecting to my coordinator won't be able to know that I'm not doing shady stuff (like zkSNACKS), therefore not solving the issue on an existential level.
2) Having many coordinators will create many very small anonymity sets, which is way worse than one big set of anonymous UTXOs. I don't think you disagree with this.

It's also worth to mention average user wouldn't know Wasabi wallet can be configured to use different coordinator, let alone existence of different coordinator. IIRC you need to edit configuration file manually.
i have not followed the discussion regarding this topic and do not have time to look through everything now 
but could you tell me what happened and why you should now avoid the wasabi wallet?

In short, it comes down to how zkSNACKs (company behind Wasabi wallet) decide to blacklist certain UTXO[1] with help of blockchain analysis service/company[2]. And IMO it's also worth to mention CoinJoin is enabled/executed by default[3].
But as for wallet itself, IMO it's definitely better than some Bitcoin wallet out there (assuming they don't perform other form of action which could harm privacy outside it's CoinJoin feature).
