Re: Petition to remove Wasabi from recommendations of bitcoin.org
Wasabi coinjoins reusing addresses, leading to users being doxxed: https://nitter.it/ErgoBTC/status/1585671294783311872
Wasabi coinjoins using the same address on both sides of a transaction: https://mempool.space/tx/af50a27691c0f0b7b626cddb74445a0e26bb6ed7b045861067326ea173bc17d0 (address bc1qft2uze947wtdvvhdqtx00c8el954y6ekxjk73h)

Didn't you hear Peter Todd? https://youtu.be/oPNFdhZUGmk?t=162
I like Peter Todd, and I believe he should be included in a group of Trusted Stewards that should maintain and oversee Bitcoin's development and progress, BUT I believe that's still a very grave accusation there and one that we should probably take with a grain of salt. Stop using it as some sort of marketing material.
It's not a "very grave accusation", it's simply how BIP32 hierarchical deterministic address generation works. If you use the same seed on two devices, you will generate the exact same addresses: https://bips.xyz/32
It's fortunate we have Bitcoin experts like Peter Todd to prove custodial shills like o_e_l_e_o and BlackHatCoiner wrong about "flaws" they claim exist in Wasabi coinjoins. The problem is that o_e_l_e_o and BlackHatCoiner are duplicating their lies on every topic about privacy they find on this forum, so I have to continually use Peter Todd's clip to expose them as frauds on multiple threads, which is why you must think I'm using it as "some sort of marketing material".
I'm not talking about the technical flaws in the design, if they are there. I'm not a very technical person, I can't speak for/against it. I'm merely questioning what he said when he mentioned that the team behind SamouraiWallet is an entity that might be working for a State-Sponsored-Actor who's looking into de-anonymizing CoinJoins. That ser, is a grave accusation.
Why don't you do it for example?
I have coordinated my own WabiSabi coinjoin before.
Make an ELI-5 guide, make it educational. Users need to run their own coordinators.
