Some individuals prefer to forgo privacy entirely rather than make any compromises. This is evident in the case of Seth and his company, Foundation Devices. They were second in line in canceling zkSNACKs. However, when confronted with the legal implications surrounding the Tornado Cash case, they opted to retract their coinjoin implementation plans altogether.
It's easy to be brave from a distance. I'd urge everyone to try to think further ahead, because what we're doing here is no joke. We're leading a revolution that is going to make significant geopolitical impact and going head first into the wall is a nonsense strategy.
Few thoughts,
1. I don't own Foundation device, so can someone provide link relevant news or article? I did quick google search, but didn't find any relevant result.
2. In context of coordinator run by zkSNACKs, aren't there any better or less controversial option for compromise? For example,
- Shut down mainnet coordinator and list community coordinator on Wasabi wallet instead.
- Doesn't take any money from running mainnet coordinator in order to get extra legal protection as non-profit.
- Switch to non-interactive CoinJoin instead which doesn't require any coordinator or server.
