He doesn't say that the code of Wasabi's open-source software is bad, he says that it's bad to use Wasabi's coordinator because you partner with BA companies. If I run my own coordinator without partnering BA analysis companies and won't filter transactions, then yes, problem will be solved. No one says that the open-source of project is bad. I think it's clear what's the issue here and why do you pretend like there doesn't exist any issue. Move away from BA companies and no one will complain anything about Wasabi if it remains open-source and transparent.

No, o_e_l_e_o has been lying about the privacy of Wasabi regardless of which coordinator you use:


I never said it was. I'm just pointing out that even without a coordinator which directly funds blockchain analysis, Wasabi is still useless.

Instead of telling them what to do, show them how it's done the right way. Why not fork the coordinator and have it accept all transactions.
Because as I've shown above, the Wasabi wallet software itself is deeply flawed and reuses addresses on both sides of coinjoin transactions. Why fork flawed software in order to launch your own coordinator to bypass the anti-fungibility and anti-privacy ethos of Wasabi/zkSNACKs, when I can just use JoinMarket or Samourai with my own node which avoid all these issues in the first place.

Still, why would I go through the effort of setting up a coordinator, having zero volume, trying to entice people to my coordinator, all so I can run inferior coinjoins with suffer from address reuse and identifiable outputs, when I can just run JoinMarket instead?

He's not just attacking Wasabi either, he's opposed to ANY open source privacy software if it allows you to coinjoin privately:

Wasabi, BTCPay Server, or Trezor.
Thanks for alerting me that BTCPay is also now a supporter of mass surveillance and blockchain analysis. Another company to forever cross off my list of recommendations.
