xtests unfortunately it's not an option, as it would display negative motives and potentially erase any good that came from this difficult choice

I obviously would like to know what you mean by "negative motives" and "goods of zkSNACKs AML coordinator".

The latter is:

Understandable, if you are talking on behalf of zkSNACKs which was pressured by some law enforcement agency to become AML-compliant, which is not surprising and often happens to many projects with non-anonymous persons behind them thinking the system will show mercy to them while having their IDs. Don't worry, not a big deal, since zkSNACKs weren't first and won't be last to fall under such consequences and not having enough money for lawyers to defend themselves from the banking lobby and their servants in LE agencies.

Not understandable, if we are talking of Wasabi Wallet as a fully open-source solution where your private company's business interests and policies should not affect the public code at all and it's extremely unethical to talk about an open-source solution within a scope of your personal interests.

My question was directed to you as a person who (hopefully) follows FOSS ethics and not as a zkSNACKs employee/affiliate, so I hope you could clarify your answer and stance on this with more details.

Actually i can recall 2 WabiSabi coordinator (not run by zkSNACKs) used to be exist. One of them was https://chaincase.app/.

By "launching a community coordinator" I meant naming and announcing it explicitely as a Wasabi wallet coordinator and not something like "MyPrivacyWalletApp" by creating a fork and launching an iOS app that would represent no interest to Wasabi users, since privacy and iOS are noninterchangeable, because by using iOS you automatically agree on giving up all your privacy to Apple.

By "launching a community coordinator" I also mean at least the following:

   - Making a proper ANN thread on Bitcointalk for a Wasabi community coordinator and not some forked app
   - Making a dedicated website, accepting donations and publishing transparency reports
   - Doing minimal advertisement campaign across Bitcointalk community
   - Dedicating some time to advertise it on social media with reachability to Wasabi user base (Reddit, Twitter and Telegram at least)
   - Not doing any forks of Wasabi and focusing only on running and promoting a coordinator

These 2 you have mentioned are not Wasabi community coordinators at all, and here is why:

Chaincase - an iOS app that was condemned to fail by its creators since its launch because of its horrible project model and marketing choices, despite of the fact it uses a WabiSabi backend. First of all, their description (from https://github.com/chaincase-app/Chaincase-iOS-Beta) is "The only privacy preserving bitcoin app on iOS" which already filters out 99% of Wasabi users seeking for an alternative coordinator. That project was not launched to be a Wasabi community coordinator at all and it doesnt't appear in Google results searching for "wasabi wallet alternative coordenator". When I am seeking for a community coordinator, I am seeking to modify my Wasabi Wallet config that would take less than 1 minute and go ahead start using a different coordinator, without having to buy an iPhone to install Chaincase.
Someone who launched a Reddit post announcing their coordenator haven't dedicated time to advertise it properly. No ANN on Bitcointalk, no website. I don't consider "a community coordinator" if someone bought a 10$ VPS, launched a WabiSabi instance and haven't announced it properly through all possible communication channels. Considering a current situation with Wasabi, a "community" coordenator should be a unique peering point and alternative to the official coordenator, because stamping many unknown coordinators won't do a thing.
