But the same hypothesis, I want people to "clean" their UTXOs from "taint"

If by "taint", you mean the list of coins which are treated unequally by chain analysis firms (some of which do get funded by the US government), then we actually don't know what will happen, and probably neither any Wasabi developer knows.


That's the one. "Taint" enforced by "their" definition. Let's teach other plebs how to remove the "taint" by having them pass through Wasabi's CoinJoin.

 Cool

As I said, their coordinator makes a request to Coinfirm and will enforce that UTXO list to the coinjoin round. Your coins could be accepted even if you're wanted by the FBI, or could be refused even if you're innocent.


Then what's the point of having to check them for "taint"? Would UTXOs received from a Dark Market dealer pass through their coordinator?

You don't know? But a centralized entity making claims such as zkSNACKS should be regulated by an authority in case those claims aren't real, no?


I still don't get where you're confused. Which claim by zkSNACKs is false if they approve a coin which is deemed as "naughty" by some chain analysis firm?


I'm merely talking about a hypothetical situation.

From a user's viewpoint, zkSNACKs' coordinator checks if the UTXOs are tainted before they pass through, no? Then the user should assume that all UTXOs that CoinJoined through Wasabi are not tainted. BUT what if the user still had his UTXOs blocked or confiscated by another centralized entity because of claims that they were "tainted". Who would be responsible for this problem?
