It's a centralized service, and you're free to criticize. But dishonest? Ser, it's literally there in print. It's definitely a trade-off.
"Trade-off" means you gain something in exchange for sacrificing something else. Coinjoins do not require a user to forfeit custody of their data and their coins, we can confirm that "mixing sites" are scams since they force their users to give up their data and their custody for no benefit.
I'll now add you in my ignore list. I was the only person in the topic who tried to defend Wasabi's trade-off when everyone else was throwing criticisms against you.
I know, the first time you heard about Wasabi you were insisting that it would be a terrible idea to coinjoin since it would include funds from criminals:
Something to think about.
It might be safer to leave them alone. Tumbling with Coinjoin and mixers might mix your coins with the coins of criminals, black hat hackers, and dark market drug dealers.
But think about it, tumblers and coinjoins are not cheap, and who would be willing to pay for them to keep their privacy?
I believe an ordinary user would be digging himself into a bigger hole if he mixes his coins with what usually would be the criminals' coins.
Can we please stop calling ChipMixer a scam?
WARNING! AFTER PREVIOUSLY SCAMMING BITCOINTALK USERS WITH "Chipmixer", BlackHatCoiner IS BACK ON THIS THREAD TO TRICK USERS INTO HAVING THEIR COINS TRACKED AND STOLEN BY HIS NEW SCAM "MixTum.io"!!!I'm not into the law, and there might be differences in each country's legislation, but I'm concerned about this. Am I considered a co-worker of the services I advertise? If the authorities strive for shutting down one of these services in my signature and avatar, am I subjected to this activity as well? If the CEO of either ChipMixer or Betnomi (as examples) is proved to be guilty, am I guilty as well?
Asking a lawyer is probably a better idea, but I'm just curious if someone else had had the same concern before.
DO NOT TRUST BlackHatCoiner WITH YOUR BITCOINS AGAIN, HE HAS ALREADY BEEN CAUGHT RED HANDED STEALING FROM BITCOINTALK USERS WITH CHIPMIXER!!!
