A question for Kruw and the more technical users/people, or regular Wasabi users in the topic. How can we verify for ourselves if a coordinator is a bad actor or not? Because if it's possible to do it, I believe we should have a guide/topic made for newbies and non-technical users, no?

I believe Don't trust, verify should apply in this, instead of us merely squabbling with each other. But if we can't do it, then can we say that coordinators are trusted-third-parties? 🤔

I explained to BlackHatCoiner 3 different ways to confirm that a coordinator is not a bad actor:

My points proved conclusively that coordinators are trustless. You can even use all 3 anti Sybil methods together at once, you don't have to rely on just one:

- First, register your private coin to the coordinator. If it's accepted, then there's no Sybil attack.
- Second, ask your friend to register a coin to the same round. If it's accepted, then you've confirmed for a second time that there's no Sybil attack.
- Third, just to be absolutely sure, back out of the round during signing to check to see if the transaction was built to target you. If the transaction is created, you've confirmed for a third time that there's no Sybil attack.
