You promoted and propagated the use of Wasabi Wallet while they updated their terms and conditions to include the use of at least one blockchain analysis company. Instead of jumping ship when they quietly slipped in the blockchain surveillance caveat, you stayed with the Contributor to Wasabi Wallet tag because you wanted to. Where were your morals and ethics when they would really have mattered? You did not take a stand against blockchain analysis at that time when it was important to demonstrate leadership therefore you have no right to attack others just because you think they did not take a stand.
I already addressed this:
You are using the terms "partnership" and "cooperation" to describe a relationship between a customer and a business, which is misleading. There are companies whose business model involves aggregating reports of coins being stolen, and zkSNACKs buys those reports in order to avoid accepting those stolen coins. If zkSNACKs were to buy a McDonald's hamburger, that does not mean "zkSNACKs is partnering with McDonald's".
If you want to know what sort of cooperation and partnerships zkSNACKs is involved with, here's a short list:
- $2,500 monthly donation to the Tor project (
https://zksnacks.com/)
- 1 BTC donation to the Human Rights Foundation Bitcoin Development Fund (
https://www.coindesk.com/tech/2020/06/25/summer-2020-is-funding-season-for-open-source-bitcoin-development/)
- .86 BTC donation (along with Bull Bitcoin) to Bitcoin Knots developer Luke Dashjr (
https://blog.wasabiwallet.io/bitcoin-knots-donation/)
- 1.11 BTC grant for privacy research on the Lightning Network (
https://lightningprivacy.com)
- 3.4 million sats (so far) to the best bruteforcer in the community (
https://www.huntingsats.com/)
- Sponsorships of Bitcoin educational podcasts such as What Bitcoin Did, Bitcoin Takeover, and What Is Money?
- Sponsorships of Bitcoin events such as BTCPrague, Bitcoin Amsterdam, Baltic Honeybadger (and others I'm sure I'm missing)
zkSNACKs made Wasabi completely open source software, so I insisted anyone who opposed this policy to run their own coordinator and followed through by running my own:
Kruw from a few months ago would of called me a big time Scammer had I ran my own Uncensored Coordinator.
You're a liar. I couldn't have been more insistent that people run their own coordinators:
You can use any coordinator with Wasabi, including your own.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5457560.msg62810015#msg62810015Since you already know you can run a Wasabi coinjoin coordinator and there's nothing zkSNACKs can do to stop you since they made their code open source, then why did you make this petition? Why aren't you just running your own Wasabi coinjoin coordinator instead?
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5457560.msg62811294#msg62811294Since the coordinator code is all open source, you get to decide your own criteria yourself.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5457560.msg62823189#msg62823189Being open source means you can run your own coordinator.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5457560.msg62823635#msg62823635Open source solves your problem which is why I keep suggesting it. If your notes were censored by a Nostr relay, then I would tell you the same thing: Run your own relay. Your obsession about the reasons why some other Nostr relay isn't storing your notes is no longer your problem and not really interesting in the first place. I do the same thing when opening Lightning channels: Attempt a new peer if I am rejected by my first choice. I don't open a petition against Lightning software development companies because they don't want to accept my channel, I can use simply use their software to connect to any node.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5457560.msg62823909#msg62823909Why haven't you set up your own WabiSabi coinjoin coordinator yet?
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5457560.msg62830686#msg62830686BlackHatCoiner, why haven't you set up a WabiSabi coordinator yet? Since no one on this thread is coordinating coinjoins themselves, it's proof that all the petitioners don't actually want to circumvent coinjoin censorship, they just want to harm the reputation of open source software.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5457560.msg62832629#msg62832629Why would you participate in a petition to have open source privacy software removed from Bitcointalk since you can solve any problems of arbitrary censorship by running your own coordinator?
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5457560.msg62835413#msg62835413https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5457560.msg62838641#msg62838641Copy and paste zkSNACKs' open source coordinator code. They literally did all the work for you, their business can be yours with CTRL + C, and instead, the losers on this thread are instructing people not to use Wasabi at all.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5457560.msg62845744#msg62845744Go to your node and check the "Enable Coordinator" button on your BTCPay Server WabiSabi coinjoin plugin:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5457560.msg62846553#msg62846553I am not being rhetorical, stop dodging the question over and over and over: WHY DON'T YOU RUN YOUR OWN COORDINATOR?
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5457560.msg63115339#msg63115339You don't create coinjoins with yourself, other people can use your coordinator. People are not stuck using the zkSNACKs coordinator.
