Re: Petition to remove Wasabi from recommendations of bitcoin.org
what the user could do before using Wasabi's coordinator is like what Peter Todd said in the video. Use layers.
Here's another idea if we're about to utilize layers: exchange BTC for XMR and XMR for BTC a little while later. Leaves no traces, much better than Wasabi + lightning altogether. You could then coinjoin the bitcoin, just to minimize the blockchain connection with the previous owner. But but I want my UTXOs to go through a government-approved CoinJoin to get the highest value on those UTXOs. The government could force exchanges to make that a requirement before they can accept deposits, so I want to teach as much people to use their "tainted" UTXOs to go through JoinMarket -> Lightning Network -> Back to Bitcoin blockchain -> To Wasabi CoinJoin.
Let's give thanks to WasabiWallet for giving us this wonderful opportunity.

If you have "low value", "tainted" UTXOs from the Dark Markets, you could use JoinMarket, and use those UTXOs in Lightning, then send them to yourself. Convert them to onchain Bitcoin then use Wasabi CoinJoin. You now have "government-friendly" UTXOs ready for cold storage. Thanks Wasabi!
See, that's the problem. You think Wasabi implemented blacklisting and now their coinjoined coins are government friendly. We have absolutely no clue with what factors their chain analysis works. We only know that chain analysis is evidently not scientific; what Coinfirm deems as "clean" coins does not necessarily imply the same for other firms.
Are you saying that we can sue zkSNACKS for false advertising if our Wasabi CoinJoined UTXOs are blocked, locked, and confiscated?
