Don't you have enough with 15 neutral color tags but basically saying you're a piece of shit?

Lol, you didn't fall for that did you?  The scammers who promote custodial "Mixer Sites" formed a mob to leave false accusations against anyone who tells the truth that Bitcoin is untraceable.

There are no more mixer services here, stop trying to die on that hill. Or maybe you forgot to teleport your account to Altcoinstalks? Roll Eyes

- Can payjoins be traced?

Not from the outside. However, the disadvantage of payjoins compared to other coinjoins is that the sender and receiver are completely aware of the coins owned by the other participant, which introduces a trusted single point of failure. In theory, a payjoin could be composed with inputs from more than two parties, however, this introduces a time element since some parties must pause their transaction and wait for others to join instead of paying instantaneously.

If there is a service coordinating payjoins between different wallets, which is ultimately what all of these methods boil down to, whose going to be interested in collecting the UTXO history of all the people who participate? Same with CoinJoins and coordinators. Let's say the Fed was running a coordinator, and recorded every UTXO going inside it. Where's the privacy now?
