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.

Yes, that is a grave accusation, but there's really no other way to explain Samourai deceiving their users that their light wallet is a "full node wallet" and "always has been" when asked why they do have not implemented BIP157 block filters that would prevent them from spying on their users: https://twitter.com/SamouraiWallet/status/1576923638846005248

Only politicians lie that boldly.  Samourai's dishonesty has been exposed by not only Peter Todd and the Wasabi team, but also by Greg Maxwell:

Repeated dishonesty from Samourai have barred them from ever receiving a payout from the bounty as far as I am concerned: I will not be signing a transaction paying them. Evaluating the privacy of systems is difficult even when the involved parties are honest and easy to work with, it is far too difficult when they are actively misleading.  Personally, I would urge my friends to not use that wallet.

Make an ELI-5 guide, make it educational. Users need to run their own coordinators.

I already showed BlackHatCoiner and o_e_l_e_o how to click the single button you need to run a WabiSabi coordinator:

Can you provide us some guidance on how can this be done? Sort of like step by step.

Go to your node and check the "Enable Coordinator" button on your BTCPay Server WabiSabi coinjoin plugin:

Stop doubting, start running: https://i.imgur.com/dA1YkUp.png

I'm confused by what you mean
He means a one click installer for a coordinator.

Refer to the BTCPay Server installation video I posted already, you can see the 1 click installer for coordinators there.  It's the "coordinator runner" tab.


The reason they don't want to run a coordinator is because WabiSabi coinjoin coordination is completely non custodial and completely private.  If they were coordinating WabiSabi coinjoins, then they wouldn't be able to keep stealing people's Bitcoins and data using their "mixing sites".
