Bump, found this topic while I was reading about BTCPayServer + CoinJoin. It's probably more relevant today with mixers being banned in the forum after 2023.
The problem with the statement "choose a different coordinator" is that there are to date, as far as I am aware, no other coordinators to choose from. And sure, you can spin up your own, but if it is only you and one or two other people using it, then the anonymity it provides is easily broken.
While that's true, I believe it's not truly a real problem. Because as people become more and more aware that there's an actual need for CoinJoin to gain our privacy back, we'll need more than centralized mixers to get that done.
There should be a large group of people outside of BitcoinTalk that are passionate enough and willing to provide enough liquidity to boot-strap the pool, no?
People who are using Wasabi aren't generally going to bother changing coordinator, because anyone who actually cares about privacy and not having their details fed directly to a blockchain analysis firm isn't using Wasabi in the first place.
Perhaps, but with another coordinator, they'll have a choice between zkSNACKS coordinator, an open coordintor, and a centralized mixer. I believe all three are good depending on what a user needs.
