Can anyone see a silver lining?
I personally can't. Samourai wasn't a custodial mixer, so that to say this seizure encouraged the adoption of self-custodial solutions. Samourai was one of the best and cheap solutions to coinjoin most effectively. Now the second best, IMO, is XMR swap, and I dare to add, XMR in general as it embodies the true spirit of cypherpunks, which Bitcoin failed to. The only problem is that Bitcoin appreciates more in capital than Monero.
You're lying, Wasabi's privacy software isn't broken. If you aren't lying, then prove it by tracing this Wasabi coinjoin:
This is not another Wasabi thread. I'm not attempting to de-anonymize Wasabi, all the
evidence of people who used it and got caught speak for itself, but I know you'll blame the users that "they didn't use it correctly".
Governments are not known to be very savvy, and with this recent anti-money laundering craze going on over there, it wouldn't surprise me if they see Wasabi as facilitating those kind of transactions. After all, they're the only large coordinator left now that Samourai's gone.
I mean, totally possible. Wasabi funding chain analysis and getting seized would be a little ironic, though.
Considering their documentation[1] and how xpub[1] were handled when not using DOJO with Samourai Walelt can we assume that, in worst case scenario, the DOJ has access to every xpub and can trace the mixes that were done in the platform? I assume that is more private create a new wallet and then transfer the funds from Sparrow Wallet to it, instead of just importing them to another one...
Any user who shared their xpub should consider themselves traced already, and if I were them, I'd send everything to another wallet, not just migrate with the same seed phrase.
